Work Order Activity Rules Processing for Branch Plant (Release 9.2 Update)

The WO Activity Rules Processing control in the Manufacturing Constants program (P3009) enables work order activity rules by branch/plant. Setting up activity rules for manufacturing work orders establishes a process flow and avoids erroneous status updates.

When work order activity rules processing is enabled for the selected branch plant, any process that updates a manufacturing work order status triggers activity rules if defined and validates the work order status updates against the defined activity rules.

For any status in your activity rules, you can also activate entries into ledger tables when work order records are added, removed or changed (header, parts list, or routing) by entering Y in the Work Order Header Record, Work Order Parts List Record, or Work Order Routing Ledger Record fields.

These history records can be reviewed using the following inquiry programs:

  • Work Order Master Ledger (P48019)

  • Work Order Parts List Ledger (P31119)

  • Work Order Routing Ledger (P31129)
