Select Work Order

This window enables you to select an existing Work Order.

Printing Documents

Tip TIP: The Bill of Material structure comment texts can be used to hold instructions for the Stockman, such as material cutting instructions, handling warnings, pre-production preparation requirements, etc..

Note NOTE: The Do not consolidate common BoM components on kit lists System Preferences control can be set to prevent consolidation of common components in a BoM so that BoM References and Structure comment is fully printed on the kit list.

When a Work Order is printed, the following data is included on the document:

  • Work Order information.
  • The assembly part’s extra works individual and standard texts.
  • Engineering Data for the assembly part if referenced in the work extra text.
  • Process Route Operation details for the assembly.
  • If the Work Order control is set, a list of Kit Components, including Bulk Issue parts.
  • If Phantom assemblies are present in the kit, they will be exploded on a multi-level basis.
  • If the BoM structure comment shown on WO component list System Preferences control is set Bill of Materials structure comment will be included within the Kit list.

Customisation CUSTOM CAPABILITY: The Work Order design can be customised to reflect your local needs. The standard report format is named rWorkOrder. There is an alternative standard design with barcodes to suit Work Tracking named rWorkOrderB. There is also an alternative standard design with the kit before the route and a QA Testing listing at the end to suit the process industry named rWorkOrderQA. Either can be duplicated and modified in the OpenVision library. To provide for them being offered to users as alternatives each class must be entered as type WO custom reports in your settings.

Note NOTE: You may choose to have the Kit List, when shown on the Work Order document, sorted by Bill of Materials reference value then part number rather than simply by part number. This can be achieved by setting the option optWOKitSort to 1 or YES.

Tip TIP: Normally an WO is marked as printed only if it is printed directly to a Printer or Email. It will not be marked as printed if it is sent to the Screen or Preview and from there on to the Printer. You can override this behaviour such that it will be marked as printed regardless of the destination by setting the Option optWOPrintMarkAll to 1. You can generally override the Printer and Email default destinations with the optRepDestMarkDoc option that allows you to set a selection of destinations for which documents will be marked as printed.

This function prepares a stockman pick document for a selected Work Order. The Picking List document is prepared using the following rules:

  • Work Order comments are included on the heading.
  • Assembly part extra works individual and standard texts are included on the heading.
  • The current Bill of Materials is used to construct the list.
  • It will NOT include any components that are N-type Non-stock or Bulk Issue parts.
  • Components that are P-type Phantom assemblies are exploded through all levels.
  • Duplicate entries of parts are consolidated into one entry unless they are Batch Tracked parts.
  • The final listing is printed in Preferred Location order.
  • Any Bill of Material structure individual comment and standard text is included.
  • For Multi-location parts an extra entry box is printed to identify the location/batch source of the picked quantity.

Note NOTE: You may choose to have the Work Order Picking List sorted by Bill of Materials reference value rather than by stores location and then part number. This can be achieved by setting the option optWOPickSort to 1 or YES. This can add a further element to your stores picking policy.

Tip TIP: Normally an WO is marked as having the picking list printed only if it is printed directly to a Printer or Email. It will not be marked as printed if it is sent to the Screen or Preview and from there on to the Printer. You can override this behaviour such that it will be marked as printed regardless of the destination by setting the Option optWOPickPrintMarkAll to 1. You can generally override the Printer and Email default destinations with the optRepDestMarkDoc option that allows you to set a selection of destinations for which documents will be marked as printed.
