Create Manufacturing Shop Order Manually
Explanation
Use this activity to manually create a new manufacturing shop order for a specified part.
To create a new shop order for parts with date structure effectivity, create a new record and enter below
values:
- Enter the site and the part number of the part that you want to manufacture.
- Enter the desired Lot Size that you want to manufacture.
- Select Manufacturing in the Order Type drop-down.
- In the Scheduling Direction drop-down, select either Forward Scheduling or Backwards
Scheduling.
- With backward scheduling, the system schedules material requirements and operations based on the Need
Date that you enter. The start date is equal to the need date minus the total manufacture time. If
the part has Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due Date enabled, you can also specify the desired time the
parts should be available in stock.
- With forward scheduling, you enter the Earliest Start Date. The finish date is equal to sum of the
earliest start date and the total manufacture time. If the part has Plan Manufacturing Supply on Due
Date enabled, you can also specify the desired time the order earliest can start.
- Enter new values in the Structure or Routing sections if you want to use another structure or
routing revision and/or alternative. You can only use structure/routing of type Manufacturing.
- By default the system will fetch the revision based on the shop order dates, and the * alternate.
- If loot size dependent alternates has been defined, the lot size will control the alternate fetched.
- If the part is configured, the alternate might be selected based on the configuration rules.
- If the shop order is created from the Production Line Management page, the
routing revision and alternate will be set based on the routing revision/alternate selected for the
production line part.
To create a new shop order for parts with serial structure effectivity:
- Enter the site and the part number of the part that you want to manufacture.
- Enter the desired Lot Size that you want to manufacture.
- Select Manufacturing in the Order Type drop-down.
- In the Scheduling Direction drop-down, select either Forward Scheduling or Backwards
Scheduling.
- With backward scheduling, the system schedules material requirements and operations based on the Need
Date that you enter. The start date is equal to the need date minus the total manufacture time.
- With forward scheduling, you enter the Earliest Start Date. The finish date is equal to sum of the
earliest start date and the total manufacture time.
- When you save the record, the Select Revision/Alternate for Serial Effectivity Part dialog
appears.
- Select either Select Revision/Alternate from Serial, or Select Revision/Alternate Manually:
- Select Revision/Alternate from Serial - Enter the serial number to fetch the revision/alternate
on. If you also want to reserve serial number(s) to the order, enable the Reserve Serials option and
enter the number of serials to reserve.
- Select Revision/Alternate Manually - Select the required structure and/or routing revision and
alternate.
- Note: If you do not reserve serials in this step, you must make sure to reserve serial number(s)
that matches the revision/alternate at a later stage.
Prerequisites
- The part that you want to manufacture must have been entered on the Inventory Part page. For the
system to automatically add material lines, the part must have a manufacturing structure in status
Buildable. If a manufacturing routing is used, it must be in status Buildable as well.
- You cannot create a shop order manually for a multilevel configured part. I.e. a configurable part with at
least one configurable component in the selected structure.
- To create a shop order manually from the Production Line Management page, a routing
revision/alternate valid for the production line must have been selected using the Routing Operation
Parameters dialog.
System Effects
As a result of this activity the system creates a new shop order with Order Type set to
Manufacturing for the selected part. When this happens, the system creates material requirements and
schedules operations. It retrieves operations and structures according to the part, structure revision and
alternative, and routing revision and alternative that you entered.
If the shop order part has Lot/Batch Tracking set to Order Based and
Allow Many Lots per Production Order disabled, a lot/batch number will be automatically generated
and reserved to the shop order following the standard syntax of [Order No]-[Release No]-[Sequence No] plus an index
number.
