MANAGE MANUFACTURING ORDERS

Use this screen to create, maintain, and view information about manufacturing orders. You can issue Component Parts to manufacturing orders, charge timesheets to them, and create special requisitions and purchase orders to capture subcontractor operation costs required for a part. The system captures all the costs related to these activities and uses them to value the completed parts on an MO. You can copy Manufacturing Bills of Material (MBOMs) to an MO to generate a material requirement list and a corresponding inventory reservation. You can copy routings to MOs as well to record all labor and subcontractor processing requirements required to build.

If a part exists in an engineering change notice, on the Manage Engineering Change Notices screen, and the ECN's Status is Pending, In-Approval, Approved, or Documents Updated, and the Provide Warning for Parts and Documents with Open ECNs check box is selected on the Configure Engineering Change Notice Settings screen, the system displays a warning message with the ECN ID and status code when the part is loaded (either as a build part or MBOM component).

Use this screen to create and maintain manufacturing orders as required.

Manufacturing Order

Enter a Manufacturing Order up to 10 characters (the first character of the Manufacturing Order cannot be blank) or leave clear if one of the auto-numbering methods is used. You select the numbering method for manufacturing orders in the MO Numbering Method group box on the Configure Production Control Settings screen. Orders can be manually numbered or system-generated by warehouse or inventory project.

Type

Use this drop-down list to select the type of MO being created. The system-defined types are:

• Customer Repair

• Rework

• Standard (system default)

• MRO

• Discrepancy Rework

Status

Select the current status of the MO. Options are Planned, Firm Planned, Released, In Shop, Closed, and Completed. You cannot modify the status of the MO to Planned, Firm Planned, or Released if there have been material issues or units completed on the MO, or if there has been timesheet activity against it. You cannot reopen a completed MO.

When a manufacturing order that is not a customer repair MO type is Released and you selected the Relieve Manufacturing Orders check box on the Configure Back Order Processing Settings screen, the system checks for outstanding approved reservations for the part, inventory abbreviation, and warehouse ID; the system performs the check using the Need date for the MO and Need Date Filter (Standard Calendar Days) on the Configure Back Order Processing Settings screen. The system displays a warning message indicating the reservations that may be due or past due for this MO.

Once the Build Part has been relieved to an inventory abbreviation and the Status is changed to Completed on the Enter Manufacturing Order Reliefs screen, the MO is assigned with a Relief ID upon saving the record. The Status for this MO displays as Completed where applicable throughout Costpoint, and the Completed Quantity for this MO displays based on the Relief Quantity and Open Quantity on the Enter Manufacturing Order Reliefs screen. You cannot modify the MO Status unless you delete the entire record. You cannot add additional requirement lines in the Requirements subtask once the MO Status is Closed or Completed.

Retain Serial/Lot Information for Closed MO

Select this check box before saving the MO if unused pre-assigned serial/lot information must be retained after closing this manufacturing order. This check box is active only if the MO status is set to Closed, and before Save.

This screen has three tabs:

• Details — Use this tab to enter manufacturing order detail.

• Additional Info — Use this tab to enter additional information about a manufacturing order.

• Notes — Use this tab to enter text about this relief transaction.

• Project Manufacturing — Use this tab to indicate if the manufacturing order will be sent to Manufacturing Execution or Shop Floor Time.
