80 MFG/PRO USER GUIDE — MANUFACTURING
To access and modify a joint order set, use Work Order Maintenance
(16.1).
Item Number. Enter the item number for a base process or a
co-product.
Type. Leave blank.
Routing Code. Optionally, enter an alternate routing code set up for
the base process in Alternate Routing Maintenance (14.15.1).
BOM/Formula. Optionally, enter an alternate base process item
number. To enter this field, the work order must be for a co-product,
and the base process must be set up as an alternate product structure
in Alternate Structure Maintenance (13.15).
Adjust Co/By Order Quantities. Enter Yes or No. This field does not
appear on base process work orders. If the order quantity changes,
entering Yes automatically rescales all order quantities in the joint
order set. The work order status must be E, A, R, or C to optionally
rescale quantities. Joint order quantities are recalculated
automatically when:
• Order quantity changes on a joint order whose status is Firm.
• Status of a work order changes from any status to Firm.
• Status of a work order changes from Batch, Planned, or Firm, to
Exploded, Allocated, or Released.
The system calculates the quantities for joint orders from quantities
entered in Co/By-Product Maintenance (15.12.1). Order quantities for
a joint order set can be recalculated automatically or maintained
manually, depending on the work order status.
Adjust Co/By Order Dates. Enter Yes or No. This prompt does not
appear on base process work orders. If the order, release, or due date
changes, entering Yes resynchronizes the dates for all orders in the
joint order set. The work order status must be E, A, R, or C to
optionally adjust dates. Firm status orders always resynchronize the
dates for all orders in the set.
Default due dates for orders in a joint set are calculated using the
manufacturing lead time for the base process.
