Add Shop Order Operation
Explanation
This activity is used to add an operation that is not registered in the parent
part's operation list, e.g., an operation that is needed only for this shop
order.
Outside operations added to the released shop orders will create the
appropriate type of supply, based on the outside operation supply type.
To add an operation, create a new row in the Shop Order/Operations
or Disposition Shop Order/Operations page and enter below
values:
- In the Operation No field, enter a number for the operation.
- In the Operation Description field, enter a description of the
operation.
- In the Work Center field, specify the work center where the
operation will be performed. Use the List of Values to select from available
work centers.
- Specify machine time and/or labor time in the Machine Setup Time,
Machine Run Factor, Labor Setup Time, and Labor Factor
fields.
- In the Operation Work Type field, select whether the work to
be performed on the operation should be considered Normal, Non
Routine or Rework.
- Resource Share is by default 1, meaning that the full
resource capacity is utilized for the duration of the operation. If the
operation utilizes part of the resource capacity, define the share in
Resource Share field, or specify how much of the total
capacity one unit will utilize in the Resource Share per Unit
field.
- If desired, change the unit of measure for the manufacturing time in
the Factor Unit field.
- If specifying labor setup time, enter relevant values in the Setup
Labor Class and Setup Crew Size fields. Use the List of Values
to select from available values. You can also enter an employee setup qualification
profile in the Employee Setup Qualification Profile field.
- If specifying labor run-time, enter values in the Labor Class and
Crew Size fields. Use the List of Values to select from available
values. You can also enter an employee qualification profile in the Employee
Qualification Profile field.
- If specifying overlap, enter the required value in the Overlap
field and select the applicable unit in the Overlap Unit field.
- Enable the Setup Inside Overlap option if you want the setup
time to be included in the overlap.
Note: The meaning of operation
overlap is how early a succeeding operation is allowed to start in relation
to its latest scheduled preceding operation start time. (For more details
refer to Operation Overlap about description).
- If you are specifying an outside operation, select an outside operation
item in the Outside Op Item field. Click List of Values to select
from available parts. This part must be defined as a non-inventory purchase
part. If the outside operation item and the outside work center is not connected
to the same supplier, there will be a warning. Proceeding further will result
in a purchase requisition without a supplier if the Outside Op Supply
is set to Purchase Requisition. If Outside Op Supply is set
to Planned or Released purchase order, you will get an error
and no purchase order will be created.
- If the operation is for an outside work center, select the Outside
Op Supply Type from the drop-down.
- If you are specifying an outside operation, you can enable the
option Send to Next Supplier.
Note: When the
Send to Next Supplier is enabled it indicates that the outside
operation items should be sent directly from the supplier connected to the
outside operation to the supplier connected to the consecutive operation,
assuming that the consecutive operation is also defined as an outside operation.
(For more details see the
Outside Operations topic).
- In the Service Type field enter a service type. Use the List
of values to select a suitable value and the component repair order line
connected service type(s) will be listed.
Note: This field is
enabled only if the shop order is a repair shop order and if it is originated
from a CRO line.
- Optionally, enter a reference number in the Reference Number
field and use the List of Values to select a reference type in the Reference
Type field.
If no outside operation item has been entered for an outside operation,
the Connect Outside Operation to Operation dialog
will appear. You can select whether to create a new part, or connect an
existing using this dialog.
Prerequisites
- The shop order must not have status Closed or Cancelled.
- Succeeding outside operations must not have been started for the newly
added outside operations.
