Output Transactions Reporting for Work Orders
For discrete manufacturing work order count point operations, an ad hoc output can be reported as an output completion transaction into a specified completion subinventory from the Review Dispatch List page. You can use the output reverse transaction to correct the output completion transaction. This capability is also available through File-Based Data Import (FBDI), ADFdi data import correction, and REST web service. The ad hoc output completions will use a fixed cost that is set up in the Manage Standard Costs page. The primary product is reported along with the operation completion transaction at the last operation.
Process manufacturing work orders can have multiple outputs at any operation. However, one of the output items in the processing manufacturing work order must be a primary output and other output items can be products or by-products. A process manufacturing work order can have only one primary output and it must have a primary output. The output items defined in the process work order operation can be of type Automatic or Manual. Automatic outputs are completed to inventory when the operation completion is reported for the operation. You can report the output items with completion type as Manual as output transaction on the Report Output Items page. You can add output items manually in the work order as well as update or delete them. However, you can’t report outputs in resequenceable operations.
As a production operator, you can manually report the output items for a work order operation from the Review Dispatch List page in the Work Execution work area:
- The progress at a work order operation level by reporting the output items that were setup in the work order for manual reporting for process work orders.
- An ad hoc output can be reported as an output completion transaction.
-
The output transaction types are complete and reverse.
-
The output types are Product and By-product.
You can set up the output items in a process work order with completion type Manual, or you may not set up in the work order at all.
Select the row for the work order operation in the Review Dispatch List page and click the Report Output Transactions action icon. The Report Output Items page appears. By default, the process work order output items setup in the work order operation with completion type as Manual are reported in the Report Output Items page.
For manufacturing plants which are enabled to track inventory by the country of origin, operators can optionally specify the country of origin from the list of countries. When the specific country of origin is specified, the on hand balances for the country of origin are updated. If the country of origin isn't specified, the on hand inventory tracked without the country of origin will be updated.
You can perform discrete and process manufacturing transactions without providing the country of origin for specific items or items assigned to a specific category even when the organization mandates otherwise. You can define an attribute tracking exception for the country of origin at the item or item-category level using the Configure Inventory Attribute Exceptions setup task for Inventory Management.
When the Restrict lot numbers during return plant parameter is enabled, you can select and return only those lot numbers that have been issued from the lot numbers list at the work order operation. However, you can return any lot numbers though the same lot hasn't been issued in the following conditions
-
if Restrict lot numbers during return plant parameter is NOT enabled
-
if you have the Allow unrestricted return to lot numbers privilege when Restrict lot numbers during return plant parameter is enabled
