Work orders

• Transaction (field MTSNUM)

Code used to identify the transaction set up.
The setup of the entry transaction is used to make the entry screens associated with a processing (release, tracking etc.) fully parameterizable by the user.
For each document or stock transaction type, it is possible to define as many entry transactions as necessary identified by a code.
Each transaction is used to define, both for fields located in the document header and fields entered in the lines, whether the latter must be entered, simply displayed or hidden.
Upon validation of this setup, dedicated entry screens are created, and then they can be used by any user having been granted rights on the access code defined in this setup header.
If a given user has the right to use several transactions of a given type, the choice is presented to the user when entering the function. If the user is only authorized one transaction, this transaction is automatically taken into account when entering the function.

• field DESAXX

Transaction description.

• Active (field ENAFLG)

This flag is used to activate or deactivate a transaction.
The inactive transactions are not presented in the transaction selection window.

• Access code (field ACSCOD)

Access code that is used to restrict access to data by user or group of users.
If this field is assigned, only users with this access code in their profile can use this transaction.
If several transactions are set up for a function, and the user only has access to one of them because of the access codes, the selection window is no longer suggested: the access is by direct entry. 

• Group (field GFY)

This field is used to allow access to the transaction to a limited group of companies.

• Transaction reserved for automatic generation (field TRSAUTO)

• Materials only (field MFGMODM)

This field defines the release mode for a work order.

• Click this check box if components are mandatory. The list of components from the defined bill of materials (BOM) record will be loaded to the work order automatically. The default order for the list of components reflects the order of the components in the BOM, but can be amended.

• Operations only (field MFGMODO)

This field defines the release mode for a work order.

  - the creation of new WOs,
  - the modification of already scheduled WOs,
  - the modification of WOs that have never been scheduled, set to the "Firm" status during the modification.
