How You Scale Process Work Orders

In a work order where the work method is process manufacturing, you can scale up or scale down an unreleased work order using input item or output item.

After selecting the operation input item or operation output item, you can scale based on percent or you can mention the new quantity of the item selected. Based on scaling percent, batch quantity, input, output, and resource quantity are recalculated.

1. To scale based on an input item or output item, select and item and click the Scaling button.

2. A separate window opens where you can enter the new quantity in the same UOM as mentioned in input item or output item or you can mention a percentage.

3. Choose the appropriate scheduling method to reschedule the work order.

4. Click the OK button to start the scaling process.

Note: Only proportional scaling is supported. You cannot perform scaling based on ad hoc components and ad hoc output items.

The following table displays the attribute name, the attribute description, and the attribute type of the work order scaling:

Name	Description	Type
Item	The selected input item or output item from the Operation Output or Operation Input user interface	String
Item Description	The description of the item.	String
Quantity	The item quantity from the Operation Output or Operation Input user interface.	Number
New Quantity	New Operation Output or Operation Item Quantity for the selected Item. The Ration of New quantity and Quantity is used to scale the work order.	Number
Percent	The percentage value that is used to scale batch work order. The value cannot be zero.	Number

Note: You can also scale the work order by updating the batch quantity or primary output item quantity at the work order header. The primary output item quantity can't be updated once the work order is released.
