Use this function to update pending work orders with routings and bills of materials (BOMs) that have been modified. Any changes to the technical data can be carried forward.
You are advised to run this function on a regular basis and especially after any modification to a BOM or routing.
Refer to documentation Implementation
The Upgrade function displays an initial screen into which you enter your selection (or filtering) criteria. Pending work orders (field Status='Pending') will be selected from the criteria you provide. You process the work orders from a second screen.
Presentation
Use the Selection criteria and Filters sections to define the production site and status of the work orders to be included.
A 'Planning' type formula is available to complete these selections.
Work orders with the status 'Being optimized' can be included if extended using an entry point.
A number of ranges are displayed.
You must then select the elements (BOMs, routing) of a work order to be updated.

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Selection criteria
|
Type in or select the production site from which the work orders are to be selected. This field is mandatory. |
|
Enter, select or build an Sage X3 filter calculation expression using the formula editor.
|
Filters
|
Select this check box if planned work orders are to be processed. If planned work orders are to be excluded from the run, leave this check box clear. |
|
Select this check box if firm work orders are to be processed. If firm work orders are to be excluded from the run, leave this check box clear. |
Start - end range
|
Filter for results within a range of work orders. For a single work order, enter the same work order in the from/start Work order no. (Work order number) and to/end Work order no. fields. |
|
Filter for results within a range of dates. For a single day, enter the same date in the Start date and End date fields. You can leave the Start date field blank to search all records to date. |
|
Filter for results within a range of finished products (BOMs). For a single bill of materials (BOM), enter the same product code in the from/start Released product and to/end Released product fields. |
|
Filter for results within a range of bills of materials (BOM) codes. Multiple bills of materials (BOMs) can be defined for a single product. Each BOM code can be assigned specific management features. For manufactured or subcontracted products this includes restriction of the BOM to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for costing or for capacity planning). For a single BOM code, enter the same sequence number in the from/start BOM code and to/end BOM code fields. |
|
Filter for results within a range of routing codes. Multiple routings can be defined for a single product. Each routing code can be assigned specific management features. These include restriction of the routing to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for use in a manufacturing environment, for costing or for capacity planning). For a single routing code, enter the same sequence number in the from/start Routing code and to/end Routing code fields. |
|
Filter for results within a range of routings. For a single route, enter the same routing code in the from/start Routing and to/end Routing fields. |
Block number 4
|
Use this field to indicate which elements of the selected work orders must be updated.

|
Use this field to indicate how to proceed for work orders that contain unplanned elements. An 'element' might be an unexpected or unplanned component, unplanned operation or phantom subassembly, for example.

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Block number 1
|
The production site from which the work orders are to be processed. |
|
Click this check box to select this line. |
|
This field displays the work order number. |
|
This field indicates the current status of the work order to be generated. This status can be 'Firm' or 'Planned'. You cannot modify it. |
|
This field identifies the associated order date or planned production start date for the order. |
|
This routing code describes a particular sequence of shop floor processes for a particular product. That is, the sequence of operations and tools that are used in a particular routing. The routing code is a product code which can be the reference for a manufactured product or a generic reference (mother routing) linked to multiple products. |
|
Multiple routings can be defined for a single product. Each routing code can be assigned specific management features. These include restriction of the routing to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for use in a manufacturing environment, for costing or for capacity planning). |
|
Multiple bills of materials (BOMs) can be defined for a single product. Each BOM code can be assigned specific management features. For manufactured or subcontracted products this includes restriction of the BOM to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for costing or for capacity planning). |
