Work Orders: Receive Work Order Assemblies from Production

OVERVIEW

When the product of a Non-Backflushed Work Order is completed, this window is used to record the receipt into stock of the assembly. Receiving multiple Work Orders at the same time is possible. You gain access by operating the Process — Work Orders — Receive WO Assembly menu function.

You can individually select work orders with the Select Work Order button or all kitted Work Orders using the List All Work Orders. You process one or more receipts by entering the Quantity received and scrapped and, if required, a history comment.

TIP: You can also populate the WO grid by dragging and dropping work orders from the Work Order List window. To do this click on the Select Work Order button and then select a listing rule (bottom left) and click on Show Listing.

In the File — System Manager — Company Details you may have set a WO + Receiving variance limit. In which case the permissible total quantity may be more than the Quantity Ordered.

TIP: The Work Order Receiving Variance limit can be usefully used when you build a level of scrap into the Bill of Materials. If you then get a better-than-expected yield from the production process, you can record it correctly.

Any Work Orders which have components logged as Shortages will be shown with an appropriate icon. These orders can still be received but only up to the quantity that the shortage would permit. The system only calculates this based on the immediate Bill of Materials. If the shortage originated from a Phantom assembly, you will get a message when you attempt a receipt.

The lead time since kit issue is automatically calculated from the Make calendar. Any number of sub-batch receipts can take place from a Work Order until the accumulated quantity of both received and scrapped is equal to the original order quantity. At this point the Work Order is automatically deleted from the file.

With each receipt, work history records are produced; one for each Operation on the current Process Route. If history records have already been recorded in the Process — Shopfloor — Shopfloor Data function, only the balance of missing Operation receipt history records are created. History records are never created for Operations carried out in Outwork Work Centres as these are created during the receipt from a Purchase Order.

If you record a scrap quantity, you are expected to enter a Scrap Reason code. This is not mandatory, but you will be reminded if you forget. Scrap Reason codes must be pre-defined in the System Manager: Index Codes section.

Once you have entered all the receipts in the list, you can process them by clicking on the Process Receipts button.

For Multi-location or Tracked parts that are received, the Location/Batch Assignment dialogue will be presented which must be completed before you can proceed.

WARNING: In multi-user environments you should be sure that two or more users are not receiving the same Work Orders at the same time, otherwise errors may result.

NOTE: If you record a Scrapped Quantity, a Stock History movement record will be created of type W. This is not a real movement, it is simply a record of the quantity scrapped.

TIP: You can force the automatic creation of a Non-Conformance Report (NCR) when recording a scraped quantity using the system option optNCRAutoMovements. Set this option to contain the uppercase character W.

TIP: Normally Work History Operation Comments are not recorded. However, there is an option, optWOHistOpCom, that permits the recording of comments when work operation history is recorded. When the option is set to 1, the Work Operation History Comments window is made available for each Shopfloor or Log WO Performance entry. If set to 2, it additionally opens for Receive WO and Backflush WO. With this option set to 1 or 2 you can use the option optWOHistOpComText for default comment text.
