Redwood: Report Orderless Transactions Using a New User Experience

Lean manufacturers need an efficient way to report production completion without having to manage work orders and operation-by-operation processing. Production operators need to report the materials and resources used as products are produced, often at a high production rate. Using the Redwood user experience, you can report the completion or scrap of an item from a single page without having to create a work order. These orderless transactions can be reported using a work definition that's used to determine the material and resource usages for automatic backflush and automatic charging, respectively. 

To make corrections, you can reverse the orderless transactions reported by using an orderless return or an orderless return from scrap. You can then reissue the orderless transaction.

You can choose 'Save and Transact Another', which allows for quick completion of an orderless transaction and can start the next transaction by providing the item details. You can perform Complete, Scrap, Return, and Return from Scrap transaction types. For Scrap, you need to provide a reason code. For serialized production, you can select a serial number to complete. You can also provide transaction notes, select the option to print the label, and provide additional information in the form of descriptive flexfields.

Report Orderless Transactions by Providing Item and Work Definition Details

When additional details need to be captured during an orderless completion, you can change the materials, resources, and completion into inventory details from the work definition requirements. This can be used to include ad hoc material and resource transactions. Completing with details will be required if the product or components are serial or lot controlled. At the Inventory step, you can also generate the serial, lot, and parent lot numbers. 

Complete Orderless Transactions with Details

With Redwood pages for reporting orderless transactions, lean manufacturers gain increased productivity with more efficient production reporting without the administrative tasks associated with work order management.

Here's the demo of these capabilities:

Steps to Enable

To get the Redwood experience for Orderless transactions, you must turn on the profile option for the feature. Enabling this profile option replaces the classic tasks 'Report Orderless Completions' and 'Report Orderless Returns' with a single Redwood page launched using the task 'Report Orderless Transactions'. 

Follow these steps to enable or disable the option:

1. In the Setup and Maintenance work area, search for the Manage Administrator Profile Values task.

2. On the Manage Administrator Profile Values page, search for and select the ORA_WIE_ORDERLESS_TRANSACTIONS_REDWOOD_ENABLED profile option code.

3. In the Profile Values section, set the Site level to Y or N. The default value of the profile option is N.

• Y = Enables the feature.
• N = Disables the feature.

4. Click Save and Close. Changes in the profile value will affect users the next time they sign in.

Tips And Considerations

• You can perform orderless transactions in a manufacturing plant using a discrete manufacturing work definition for standard items. You can't report orderless transactions in a contract manufacturing plant, for configured items, for supplier operations, or using process manufacturing and flow manufacturing work definitions.
• You can report an orderless scrap transaction or orderless return from scrap transaction only if you have the WIP_REPORT_SCRAP_TRANSACTIONS_PRIV privilege.
• You can modify, delete, and add material and resource transactions using the Complete with Details flow for orderless completion and scrap based on the plant parameter Allow Quantity Changes During Backflush. 
• As an alternative to the Redwood page, you can also import the orderless transactions through the Material Transaction Web Service or Import Material Transaction file-based import process.
• For an improved end-to-end user experience, you can also enable the Work Execution landing page using the Redwood Work Execution Landing Page Enabled profile option. Refer to the 25A feature Redwood: Manage and Execute Production Using a New Home Experience for more information.
