Issue Shop Order Automatically
Explanation
This activity is used to issue all material automatically for one
or several shop orders. When
this activity is performed, the system will select the inventory location. During
the automatic issue of parts, the supply codes relating to the shop order material
lines are taken into consideration. If the supply code is Inventory Order, only
the standard inventory will be available for issue. If the supply code is Project
Inventory, only the project inventory for the project connected to the shop
order will be available for issue. If components are available, the parts belonging
to the connected project activity will be issued.
To issue all material automatically for one or several shop orders, select the relevant order(s), click
Material Actions and then Issue.
- If you want to issue only reserved material, enable Issue All
Reserved Material.
- If you want to issue all material for the shop order, including non-reserved
material, enable Also Issue Non-Reserved Material.
When this option is enabled, Issue All Reserved Material is
enabled automatically.
- If you want to perform a partial issue for the shop order, enter the
quantity of the parent part that you want to manufacture in the Parent
Quantity to Issue field. The specified quantity is issued first from
reserved material, and then any remaining quantity is issued from non-reserved
material. To issue all material, leave this field blank.
- If you want to issue also non-operation material, enable Issue
Non-Operation Material.
- If you want to issue only operation material, enable Issue Operation
Material. Enter the operation
no to issue material for in Operation No field or use
the List of Values.
The value in the Reserve/Issue Method field of the shop order material
line is considered when automatically reserving/issuing material. This value
determines how to reserve/issue material to the shop order.
For operation connected material, the option selected in the Outside Reserve/Backflush
field on the Work Center page
is considered when automatically reserving material. This value determines how
the reserve/backflush of material is allowed from locations other than work
center inbound locations.
If the Shared Location option is enabled in the Location tab of the
Work Center page, material
can be reserved/issued to any demand. If disabled, only the material demands
from operations that are connected to the work center will be allowed to reserve/issue
material from this location.
If the shop order is connected to a batch balance ID and the
Allow reserve and issue from lot/batches outside the batch balance
option is enabled
in Site/Manufacturing page, issue of
the component which the preceding balanced shop order is supplying is limited
to the lot/batch numbers received from this shop order. Note: The shop order is limited to issue supply received from the
preceding shop order, however any other shop order without a connection to a
balance ID is allowed to issue the same material.
Note: If the catch unit is enabled for the part, it will only be possible
to issue components automatically once the entire quantity in the inventory
location is issued. If the entire quantity in the inventory location is not
issued, a message will appear requesting you to enter the catch unit quantity.
In such situations you need to perform the issue of components manually. For
more information refer to the online help file:
Issue Components Manually.
If this is the first issue of material for the selected MRO assembly shop order,
the system will automatically run the perform preliminary conformance check
function, thereby creating (or updating) the expected on-log with the structure
for the level below. For more information on this function, refer the online
help file:
Perform Preliminary Conformance Check.
This activity contains a security checkpoint which can be activated by an
administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will
have to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally,
whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint
log is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.
Prerequisites
- The shop order must have been released and there must be enough unreserved
material in stock. Note: it is not necessary to reserve the shop
order.
- All MRO disassembly and repair orders connected to the MRO assembly shop order
must have been completely received.
- Likewise, all disposition orders connected to the MRO disassembly order
in a shop visit must have been completely received.
(If an order on
the level below is not finished, some serials may not be reserved. This
may cause the expected on-log to be updated with incomplete
information.)
- A serial or lot/batch tracked part must be reserved before it can be
issued.
System Effects
- Components are issued from inventory and inventory transaction history records (BACFLUSH) will be created for
the issued components.
- The status of the shop material line will be set to Issued.
- The status of the shop order will be set to Started.
- The system will locate and issue components primarily according to the
5-levels shop order backflush hierarchy, and secondarily according to
the automatic reservation priority defined for the site.
- If the shop order was created from project delivery, the project delivery
structure will be updated with the quantity issued.
- If the catch unit is enabled for the part, the system will update the
Catch Qty Issued field on the
Shop Order/Material
tab with the corresponding catch unit value.
- When automatically issuing material for a shop order with a connected
supply pegging, the issue will reduce the pegged quantity by the same quantity
that was issued. Note: If more than one supply is pegged to the same
demand, you will be prompted to manually adjust peggings prior to performing
the issue of material.
- If a material line with Lot/Batch Origin enabled is
issued, a lot/batch number similar as the issued lot/batch number with
the suffix -1 will be generated and reserved to the shop order.
- The expected on-log is created (or updated) with the structure for the
level below.
- Log entries are generated each time the perform preliminary conformance
check function is run (i.e., either manually or automatically). These entries
can be viewed on the Shop Order/Prelim. Conformance
Log tab or MRO Interim Order Structure/Preliminary
Conformance Log tab.
- For a serial tracked part, the current position is set to
Issued on Part Serial page.
