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.
• If WIP products are linked as the To Operation, the corresponding quantity of those WIP products must either be already issued, or enough quantity must be at the inbound location(s) defined for the resource or work center. WIP products connected to a shipment must be issued by delivering the shipment.

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.
• When a WIP product is connected to an outside operation as the From Operation,
  • The WIP product is automatically received into inventory. The Received Quantity on the shop order WIP product line is increased. Inventory transaction history SOWIPREC is created.
  • The receipt is done into the outbound location of the outside work center.
• When a WIP product is connected to an outside operation as the To Operation,
  • The WIP products that are not connected to a shipment and have not already been issued will be backflushed primarily from reservations at the inbound location(s) defined for the resource. If the available quantity is insufficient at those locations, the system issues from the inbound location(s) defined for the work center. The Issued Quantity on the shop order WIP product line is increased. Inventory transaction history SOWIPISS is created.
