Report Outside Operation
Explanation
This activity is used to backflush outside operations and automatically process the purchase order receipt
depending on the outside operation backflush type. This activity can be used as an alternative to the pick list and
ship work in process activities.
If Purchase Order Arrival has been selected as the outside operation backflush option for a released
outside operation, and if the pegged purchase order line has also been released, it is possible to backflush the
ship work in progress (WIP) to supplier and the purchase order arrival activities.
Note: Outside operation backflush will be used automatically to backflush the ship work in progress (WIP) to
the supplier. Purchase order arrival activities to report the preceding outside operations on a routing with
sequential outside operations, can be done if the Send To Next Supplier option has been enabled for the
preceding outside operation. For more details about the Send To Next Supplier option, refer to the
Subcontracting topic description
To report outside operation from the Shop Order Operations Reporting or Work Center
Operations Reporting pages:
- Select the relevant operation and click Report Outside Operation on the Outside
Operations tab.
- Enter the quantity to report in the Quantity to Report field.
- If you want to report the full quantity, enable the Report Full Quantity option.
Note: When the full quantity is reported, the corresponding operation will be closed.
- If you want the completed quantity on open operations prior to this operation to be automatically reported so
their completed quantity plus bypass quantity equals the quantity reported on this operation,
enable the Auto Report Previous Operations option.
Note: This option will be used automatically if the preceding operation is an outside operation where the Send
To Next Supplier option has been enabled.
To report an outside operation from the Shop Floor Workbench page:
- Select the relevant operation and click Approve.
- Enter the quantity to report in the Qty to Report field.
- If you want the completed quantity on open operations prior to this operation to be automatically reported so
their completed quantity plus bypass quantity equals the quantity reported on this operation,
enable the Report Previous Operations option.
- If you want the operation to be closed, enable the Close Operation option.
Prerequisites
- Pegged purchase order lines must have been released.
- The shop order operation must have Outside Operation Reporting Level set to Purchase
Order Arrival.
- If the Manual Operation Qty option is enabled for the operation, the sum of the reported
quantity complete and scrap must be equal to, or less than the planned operation quantity.
- If the Over Reporting drop-down is set to Not Allowed on the Inventory
Part/Manufacturing tab, the sum of the reported quantity complete and scrap must be equal to, or less
than the planned operation quantity plus the defined over report tolerance.
System Effects
- Operation history transactions will be created:
- WIPTOSUB - for the WIP shipped to the supplied.
- SUBCONTR - for the work performed by the supplier
- WIPFROMSUB - for the WIP received back from the supplier.
- The purchase order arrival will be reported.
- The status of the operation will be set to Partially Reported or
Closed.
- If the Auto Report Previous Operations/Auto Report Previous
Operations option is enabled, completed quantity will be reported on open operations prior to this operation
so their completed quantity plus bypass quantity equals the quantity reported on this operation. Operations
parallel to this operation are not considered as previous operations. Note: No additional quantity will be
reported as completed on operations that already have a completed quantity plus bypass quantity that is equal to
or greater than the quantity reported on this operation.
