List of WOs
Use this function to display an overall plan of production at a specific site.
You can inquire on work orders at one, or a range of order statuses, component information and operation details.
Prerequisites
Refer to documentation Implementation
Screen management
This function is customized to the needs of your organization and your processes. The Inquiry screens function for code 'MFG' determines the way in which you enter information, and how information is displayed and printed.
The List of WOs inquiry function contains a section for you to enter your selection criteria and a single tab in which the results of the search are displayed.
Header
Selection
Use this section to define the production site, the status of the work orders and the date range. By default, the search is for all production at the defined site but can be changed to search within a range of dates.
Start - end range
Use this section to define the selection ranges to be used for filtering the results of the search.
Select components, Sel. operations
You can filter the results by one or a range of components and one or a range of expected or actual work centers using the Select components and Sel. operations sections. Component information or operation details can optionally be displayed.
You can apply Selection formulas to filter work orders for products, materials and operations.
You can use the Criteria action to enhance the selection criteria applied.
Selection
Production site (field MFGFCY) |
Type in or select the production site from which the work orders are to be selected. This field is mandatory. |
Order status (field MFGSTASTR) |
Filter for results within a range of work order statuses. For a single work order status, enter the same status in the from/start Order status and to/end Order status fields. |
Start date (field STRDATSTR) |
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. |
End date (field ENDDATSTR) |
Selection formula (field MFIFOR) |
Enter, select or build an Enterprise Management filter calculation expression using the formula editor.
|
Start - end range
Work order (field MFGNUMSTR) |
Filter for results within a range of work orders. For a single work order, enter the same work order number in the from/start Work order and to/end Work order fields. |
Released product (field ITMREFSTR) |
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. |
field BOMALT |
Use this field to filter the work orders to those for a specific bill of materials (BOM) code. 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). |
Routing (field ROUNUMSTR) |
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. |
field ROUALT |
Use this field to filter the work orders to those using a specific routing code. 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). |
Project (field PJTSTR) |
Use these fields to filter for results within a range of project codes. For a single project, enter the same project code in the From/start project and To/end project fields. The content can be one of the following:
If the content of this field includes a character such as an exclamation mark "!" this field links to the structure of the project. The character is the separator between a project code and the structure, either the project cost structure or the project operational structure. For example, if a material task code is 'USA-P3' and a project code is 'USA12345678', this field displays a link to the project operational structure as 'USA12345678!USA-P3'. To provide a quick and easy visual reference the link to the project or project structure is distinguishable by the number of separator characters used. If there is no separator, the link is made to the project. A single separator character such as an exclamation mark after the project code (the first code) indicates the link type is a task (the link is to the project operational structure). Two separators placed after the project code mean that the link corresponds to a budget code (link to the project budget structure).

The character is the separator between a project code and the structure, either the project cost structure or the project operational structure. For example, if a material task code is "USA-P3" and a project code is "USA12345678", this field displays a link to the project operational structure as "USA12345678!USA-P3". |
