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.

Prerequisites

SEEREFERTTO Refer to documentation Implementation

Screen management

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.

Entry 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.

Start/end ranges

A number of ranges are displayed.

  • To read all pending work orders, leave all the fields blank.
  • To read the status of selected pending work orders, type in the required ranges. Leave the first field blank to include the lowest value.


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.

 An error message is displayed if you refer to tables which are not generally used by the configurator, or to unknown variables.

Filters

  • Planned work orders (field WOPFLG)

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.

  • Firm work orders (field WOFFLG)

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

  • Work order no. (field MFGNUMDEB)

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.

  • Start date (field STRDATDEB)

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.

  • Released product (field ITMREFDEB)

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.

  • Routing (field ROUNUMDEB)

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

  • Type of leveling (field TYPMAN)

Use this field to indicate which elements of the selected work orders must be updated.


The following three updates are available:

Routing
Update the routing where a routing has been modified.

BOM
Update the bills of materials (BOM) where a BOM has been modified.

Routing and BOM
Update the routing and/or the BOMs where a routing and/or a BOM has been modified.

 Work orders with ordered operations are only considered if this field is set to BOM.

  • WO / elements not expected (field UNENVISAG)

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.


The following three updates are available:

Ignore
Work orders that contain elements that have not been planned must not be updated.

Keep unforeseen elements
Work orders must be updated. Any unplanned elements will be retained.

Discard unforeseen elements
Work orders must be updated. Any unplanned elements will be deleted.

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Block number 1

The production site from which the work orders are to be processed.

Grid

  • field FMODIF

Click this check box to select this line.

  • Order no. (field MFGNUM)

This field displays the work order number.

  • Order status (field MFGSTA)

This field indicates the current status of the work order to be generated. This status can be 'Firm' or 'Planned'. You cannot modify it.

  • Start date (field STRDAT)

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).

Action icon

Work orders

Click Work orders from the Actions icon to view the work order details. The transaction you select determines the way in which you enter information, and what information is displayed and printed. If only one transaction has been set up you are not offered a choice, the default entry screen is displayed.

Batch task

This function can be run in batch mode. The standard task FUNMAUTM is provided for that purpose.

Specific actions

These actions are available when the list of work orders for the specified production site are displayed. This is after you have clicked the OK action on the initial selection screen.

Click WO leveling to update all selected work orders with routings and bills of materials (BOMs) (as defined) that have been modified.

A log file displays the results of the run once the update is complete.

Click Include all to select all displayed work orders.

Click Exclude all to clear all selected work orders.

Error messages

In addition to the generic error messages, the following messages can appear during the entry :

No work order processed

This message is displayed if no deletion could be carried out.
