Create Standard Process Work Orders
You can create a standard work order for discrete or process manufacturing based on the work method. If the plant parameter is enabled for process manufacturing, you can optionally set the default work method to process manufacturing. There are two methods to create a standard work order for process manufacturing. First method is based on the Process Name and the second method is Primary Output. The Process Name is a unique identifier for a specific process manufacturing work definition that can produce multiple outputs.
If the organization is enabled for both discrete and process manufacturing, you will have the choice of both work methods. The standard process work order is created in the following sequence in the user interface:
-
Specify the Work Method. In this case, select Process Manufacturing option instead of Discrete Manufacturing.
-
Specify the Creation Basis. It can be either Process Name or Primary Output. Currently, use the Process Name as the default attribute.
-
If you enter a Process Name value, the Batch Quantity and UOM will be automatically defaulted. Also, the work definition details are selected. You can optionally update the Batch Quantity.
-
If you specify Primary Output, the Primary Output Quantity and UOM will be defaulted based on the Process Name that is selected. The Process Name is selected based on the lowest production priority. You can search and select another process name.
-
Start Date: The work order start date is by default the current date and time. You can update the field if required. If the work order is created by specifying the start date, the application automatically performs a forward scheduling to calculate the rest of the dates.
-
You can now save the standard process work order.
