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 you want to manually define the operation quantity, enable Manual Operation Qty and enter
the required quantity in the Operation Qty field. This can be useful for rework or repair
operations when the full quantity is not required to pass through the operation.
- 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.
- To enable Manual Operation Qty, the Order Type must be set to
Manufacturing, Repair, Prototype, Disassembly
or Remanufacturing. Also the specific operation and the succeeding operation (if a succeding
operation exist) must have Parallel Operation set to Not Parallel and no
Overlap defined.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, an operation is added to the shop order.
