How You Print Work Order Traveler
The Work Order Traveler or shop packet is a set of documents associated with a work order that travels with the subassembly as it moves through the routing in the shop floor.
It usually consists of the following information to assist you to complete the work order:
-
Work order information
-
Product serial information
-
Configuration transactional item attributes
-
Work definition details
-
Work order operations, materials, resources and resource instances
-
Reservation against sales orders
-
Project and task number(if the organization is tracked by project)
-
Attachments which can be of the following types:
-
Work order
-
Work order operation
-
Work order operation resource
-
Work order operation material
-
Work Order Operation Output (for process manufacturing work orders)
-
Product lot number that displays the preassigned lot numbers
-
Sales order header
-
Sales order line
-
You can use the Print Work Order Traveler feature to print the work order traveler during production execution. The work order traveler contains work order details such as work order information, work definition details, work order operations, materials and resources, and reservations and attachments. For serialization enabled operations, the work order traveler also consists of product serial numbers.
In Oracle Manufacturing, you generate the work order traveler from the following pages:
-
From the dispatch list by selecting the required work orders, and starting the action Print Work Order Traveler. The scheduled process is launched for the work order in the selected row.
You can select only one row at a time from the dispatch list. So the traveler can be printed only for a single work order at a time.
-
From the Overview page by clicking the link Print Work Order Traveler.
This will open up the user interface to submit the scheduled process. You can print travelers for multiple work orders from here. Each work order traveler is in a separate .pdf.
-
From the Manage Work Orders page by selecting the required work orders, and selecting the action Print Work Order Traveler.
The scheduled process is initiated for the selected work orders. The parameters for the scheduled process are:
-

The Work Order Traveler template can be configured to include additional attributes. The attributes from work order header, work definition, work order operations, work order product serial, work order reservations, work order Transactional Item Attributes (TIA) values, and attachments can be added to the work order traveler. These sections exist in the default template. You can remove any unwanted sections or add more attributes in some sections if these attributes are available in work order.
