PRINT MANUFACTURING ORDER DOCUMENTATION

Use this screen to print various manufacturing order forms. These forms are used by inventory control and shop floor personnel to determine what materials need to be picked for an MO (pick list), a document listing all the inventory and non-inventory components for assembly (assembly sheet), and a traveler listing all the routing steps an MO must go through and the work centers it must pass through (routing traveler). You can also print component labels to place on kitted material containers. Component labels are printed separately because they require different forms than the other reports. You can specify the reports to print at the time of printing or use the print flags defined for each MO when it is created.

Prior to printing these reports, you should define the rules and defaults for each form in the MO Documentation Print Options (Materials » Production Controls » Production Control) screen.

Once a form is printed for a selected manufacturing order, the printed flag for that form is set to Yes for that manufacturing order.  This prevents the form from being reprinted, unless the Print Previously Printed Documents check box is checked.

This report typically only prints forms for manufacturing orders with a status of In-Shop or Released.  You can optionally include firm planned, closed and/or completed manufacturing orders by using the screen parameters listed below. This process can also be used to update manufacturing order status codes, if the Update MO Status to Released and/or Update MO Status to In-Shop check boxes are selected.

Use this screen whenever manufacturing order documentation is required.

Warehouse

Enter, or use the binoculars icon to select, the warehouse from which the MOs are selected. This is a required field.

Select MO Documents

Print MO Selections (Excluding Component Labels)

Select this option to print the documents specified on each of the selected MOs.

The document package for each manufacturing order can be defined in the Header screen of the Enter Manufacturing Orders (Materials » Production Control » Manufacturing Orders) application.

Select Documents To Print

Select this option to choose the documents to print for the selected MOs regardless of what documents have been defined for each MO in the Header screen of the Enter Manufacturing Orders application. Once you select this option, you can choose the following documents to print by selecting the applicable check box:

Pick List

Select this check box to print pick lists for the selected MOs. The pick list generally displays all open inventory component part requirements by MO, as well as the inventory locations for the parts. Use the MO Documentation Print Options (Materials » Production Controls » Production Control) screen to specify additional information to include on the report.

When the Print Floor Stock Parts option is selected on the MO Documentation Print Options screen, MO requirement lines for inventory floor stock parts are included whether or not the MO requirement line has an inventory abbreviation associated with it.  MO requirement lines that are non-inventory floor stock parts are also included if the Print Ref and Non-Inv Components option is selected on the MO Documentation Print Options screen. If this option is not selected, MO requirement lines that are inventory floor stock parts are included only if they have inventory abbreviations associated with them.  Non-inventory floor stock parts are not printed.

Assembly Sheet

Select this checkbox to print assembly sheets for the selected MOs. The assembly sheet can include all component requirements for the manufacturing order, regardless of whether they are inventory parts, floor stock parts, or not. Manufacturing BOM reference designator information can also be printed for each component requirement. Use the MO Documentation Print Options (Materials » Production Controls » Production Control) screen to specify what components to include, the default sort for component requirements, and whether MO header text and notes should be printed on the form.

Routing Traveler

Select this check box to print routing travelers for the selected MOs. The routing traveler includes the MO routing operation steps required to produce the MO build part. Use the MO Documentation Print Options (Materials » Production Controls » Production Control) screen to specify what other information (such as MO notes, routing notes, or text) should print  included on the form.

As-Built Configuration

Select this check box to print as-built configurations for the selected MOs. This option is not available at this time.

Print Component Labels

Select this option to print component labels for the selected MOs. This uses the same selection and sort as in the Pick List option, except for MO header notes and text options, which are not printed. Component labels may be used for items that require labeling on material containers, for example. Component labels are printed separately from reports because they often require different form layouts and printer paper stock.

Select Planner

If a range other than All is selected in the Range Option field, enter, or use to select, the required parameters.

Select Work Center

Use this group box to specify which individual component requirements and routing operations to print, based on the assigned work center in the Enter Manufacturing Orders (Materials » Production Control » Manufacturing Orders) screen.

Range Option

From the drop-down list, select the range of work center component requirements and routing operations to include in the forms. Options are:

If you select All, all routing operations and all MO requirements are considered, even if no work center is specified on the routing or requirement line.

From, To

If a range other than All is selected in the Range Option field, enter, or use to select, the required parameters.

Sort Options

The primary sort option for all forms is by manufacturing order.  The sort options below define how component requirements and routing operations are sorted within a MO.

Pick List/Component Labels

From the drop-down list, select how you want the pick list or component labels sorted. You can sort by:

The default for this field is taken from the MO Documentation Print Options (Materials » Production Controls » Production Control) screen, but can be changed here.

If you select Component Location, the primary component's primary location is taken from the Preferred Location field in the Part Project Data (Materials » Product Definition » Part Master) screen (if the Warehouse field in the Enter Manufacturing Orders (Materials » Production Control » Manufacturing Orders) screen matches the Preferred Warehouse field in the Part Project Data (Materials » Production Definition » Part Master) screen).

If such a match does not exist, the primary location is then taken from the Planning Part Data (Materials » Product Definition » Part Master) screen (if the Warehouse field in the Enter Manufacturing Orders screen matches the Warehouse Location field in the Planning Part Data screen). If no warehouse match is found in the Part Project Data or Basic Part Data screens, or if a warehouse match is found but the value is blank (there may be a warehouse match in the Part Project Data screen but the Preferred Location field might be blank, since it is not a required field), the system selects the first on-hand type of inventory location (alphabetically sorted) for the part in Enter Manufacturing Orders (as long as it has a quantity greater than zero). If the first location has a quantity of zero, the system continues to the next location.

Assembly Sheet

From the drop-down list, select how you want the assembly sheet sorted. Available sort options are:

The default for this field is taken from the MO Documentation Print Options (Materials » Production Controls » Production Control) screen, but it can be changed.
