The Work Order Dispatch Report displays the operations scheduled at a
work center, sorted by start date. The report includes the item being built,
the work order that authorizes the work, standard setup and run times, and
the open quantity on the order at that work center.
Use this report to provide work visibility for a specified number of days,
determined by the Window Days field. Also use it as a measurement tool
for comparing production progress with production plans.
Receiving Work Orders
When a work order is completed on the shop floor, the items are typically
sent to the stockroom.
• Use Work Order Receipt (16.11) to receive items, close the order, and
backflush components of final assembly work orders.
• If you did not issue items previously, issue them when completed
products are received with Work Order Receipt Backflush (16.12).
If you use the Shop Floor Control module, you can enter labor feedback
and test results at receipt, and report individual operations as completed.
When a work order is received:
• Inventory increases by the amount of the receipt.
• The open order quantity decreases by the amount of the receipt.
• Any reject quantity is written off to the scrap account and not
placed in inventory.
If Auto Lot Numbers is Yes in Item Inventory Data Maintenance (1.4.5),
the system automatically assigns the work order ID as the lot number
for inventory received from a work order. This is true regardless of the
value of Lot/Serial Control for the item.
During receipt, you can set the work order status to Closed. Once closed,
no further component issues or completions can be recorded against the
order. However, closing a work order does not clear the balance in WIP.
This action is done by using Work Order Accounting Close (16.21).
