Create WO

Here is presented a quick release of work orders.

When multi-level specifications are in question first create work orders on a lower level, that is, semi-products and then proceed to higher levels - products. Set WO Creation Bottom-up parameter that can be found in Administration Panel | Settings | Program Parameters | Manufacturing | Work Orders in Create WO box in order to determine the sequence in which work orders will be created .

First step in indirect control of manufacturing process is opening a work order.

Usually you can open work orders from prepared manufacturing plans. In this case you directly launch group work orders to be released (opening them, printing documentation).

You can also issue work orders individually by directly transferring lines of sales order to work orders in manufacturing.

Quick issue of individual WOs can also be done using the Process Work Orders window. Here the work order must also be included in sales order. For detailed treatment see continuation.

The quick issue of individual work orders can be launched by clicking Create WO from wizards menu in Process Work Orders.

A window opens up where you can specify appropriate data. First click  in order toselect a sales order which serves as a basis for issuing work order. For detailed treatment see continuation.

Enter data and then you can select product-related data that are not located amid available lines of sales order.

Having selected a sales order displays default data. Of course, you can also modify data accordingly and proceed with issuing. 

If you do not enter or select an order and line ID, the ID of created WO is recorded. In such a case whenever you create WOs in sublevels ID of primary or original WO is recorded with child WOs.

If a work order was created from an order line and an item has serial number tracking checked, the latter are transferred to work order. The number of transferred serial numbers correspond to the quantity in work order. 

Having created work orders from sales orders the order is assigned a status as set in Document Types | Work Orders | Linked Doc. Types | Sales Orders.  If the currently assigned work order status is higher in hierarchy than the one set with linked document types, status will not be changed.

It has to be noted though that a picking list will not be created for orders assigned higher status than the one set for creating picking list (Administration Panel | Settings | Program Parameters | Orders). IF Sales orders window is opened while creating WO data will be refreshed.

If set in internal issue document type, automatic issue of serial numbers is enabled in lines of work orders.

Main window offers you the following data:

Order	Enter number of sales order for issuing work order.
(Order)	Enter ID of sales order for issuing work order.
(Order)	Select a date on which a work order was created.
Product	Displays an item from line of sales order.

Into Spec Sublevels	Select it in order to specify type of work orders issued. Parameter Into Spec Sublevels that can also be found in Administration Panel (Create WO in Spec Sublevels in Create WO box) is by default checked. That is, if checked, means that all components the product consists of will be copied accordingly across entire depth of specification structure regardless of stock. Work orders are created in sub-levels only for planned quantity which is a sum of quantity and quantities of scrap and waste. If a specification contains a phantom - item of type Cor U and having checked Compound Goods and Services as Phantoms, instead of phantom ID its components get recorded to the work order. Here the required quantity is used in calculating standard quantity in lines. For batch recalculation of quantities  the quantity from the work order is used regardless of its level in hierarchy.   A planned quantity and number of issued work orders that can be found in the first level depends on whether you set Transfer Order to WO parameter: If you check 1 Piece = 1 WO checkbox for item, then the number of work orders is equal to the planned quantity. Planned quantity is at the same time 1. If planned quantity is not an integer, number of work orders is rounded up. If you set creating by optimum Qty, work order is issued for the specified optimum quantity. Having checked Total Quantity a work order containing the appropriate planned quantity is created.       (see example of creating WO according to transfer mode)
