Scheduled Work Orders
Scheduled work orders are generated by the system when repetitive
schedules are entered. Like standard work orders, they have a standard
work order bill and routing.
A scheduled work order cannot be processed as a standard work order
unless you change its status to Allocated or Released. Changing a
scheduled order to a regular order automatically updates the repetitive
schedule to exclude it; however, the work order type remains Scheduled.
Cumulative Work Orders
Cumulative orders are generated by the system to track repetitive
production costs. They cannot be processed using work order functions.
Routable Work Orders
MFG/PRO manages one other kind of work order that is not represented
by a separate type code. Subassemblies can be set up in MFG/PRO so that
work orders are automatically created for them when a parent item is
allocated or released using:
• Work Order Release/Print (16.6)
• Multiple Work Order Release/Print (16.7)
To do this, set the Pur/Mfg code for the item to Routable in Item Master
Maintenance (1.4.1) or Item Planning Maintenance (1.4.7). A work order
for a routable item has the same number as the parent work order, but a
unique work order ID.
These work orders can be allocated, released, and used for processing
component issues, inventory receipts, and shop floor control transactions.
When the subassembly is finished,
• Process a work order receipt from the routable work order.
• Then issue the subassembly as a component to the parent work order.
