How You Manage Supplier Operations in Maintenance

Use the Maintenance Dispatch List page to manage and execute supplier operations in outside processing. It lists the quantities at supplier operations (with operation type Supplier) by the dispatch statuses in a tabular format. This format has several visual cues highlighting the records that require attention.

The Maintenance Dispatch List page helps you perform these tasks:

  • Report operation transactions by quantity or serial number associated with the work orders at a supplier.

  • Report component usage at a supplier operation by quantity or serial number.

  • Review work order details.

  • Print work order traveler and product labels.

  • Review supplier operation details.

  • Review supplier operation exceptions.

  • Report production exception at a supplier operation.

Using the search feature in the Manage Supplier Operations page, you can do the following:

  • You can search for the supplier operations by using the most commonly used search attributes such as work order, status, start date, completion date, item, serial, purchase order, purchase order line, purchase order schedule, receipt number, and outside processing item.

  • You can use the application default search that retrieves the supplier operations which have quantities in In Process and Ready status. By default the records are sorted by the earliest completion date.

  • You can also create and use a personalized saved search.

  • You can configure the search to run automatically every time you sign into the application.

Note: When querying for supplier operations based on start date or completion date, shift times are interpreted by the application in the work center time zone. However, named dates such as Today, Yesterday, and so on are interpreted in the user time zone.
