Load in progress
Use this inquiry to display workload at a single production site.
The results represent workload generated when a planned or firm work order is created, or the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) or MPS (Master Production Schedule) calculations are run with load included in the calculations.
The workload is supported using a color indicator so that you can easily spot the type of load that is currently in progress and the status of the load.

Selection
Site (field FCY) |
Type in or select the work order production site. The default site displayed is associated with your user record but you can edit it. |
Start - end range
Work center group (field WCRSTR) |
Filter for results within a range of work center groups that operate at the selected production site. For a single work center group, enter the same group code in both fields. A work center group can be for machines, labor, or subcontracted resources. |
field WCREND |
Work center (field WSTSTR) |
Filter for results within a range of work centers associated with the selected work center groups. For a single work center, enter the same code in both fields. Each work center is associated with an attachment site. |
field WSTEND |
Labor center (field WSTLABSTR) |
Filter for results within a range of labor work centers associated with the selected work center groups. For a single labor work center, enter the same code in both fields. |
field WSTLABEND |
Work center type (field WSTTYPSTR) |
Filter for results for machine, labor, or subcontracting work centers at the selected production site. For a single work center type, select the same work type reference in both fields. Subcontracting work centers are managed externally by subcontract suppliers. |
field WSTTYPEND |
Start date (field STRDATSTR) |
Filter for results within a range of production start dates. For a single start date, enter the same date in both fields.

field STRDATEND |
Tab Load in progress
The screen code you select determines how information is displayed in this table.
Grid
Type (field OPSTYPSTA) |
The type of load that is currently work in progress plus the current status of the load. The first 2 characters = the order type; the third character (S (Suggested), P (Planned) or F (Firm)) = the status of the order. OWS: Suggested load OWP: Planned load OWF: Firm load |

Work center (field EXTWST) |
The production resource that is to be used for the operation sequence number. |
Type (field EXTWSTTYP) |
The production resource type can be a machine, labor, or a subcontracting work center. |
Start date (field OPESTR) |
The date the operation sequence number needs to start. |
End date (field OPEEND) |
The date the operation sequence number needs to be completed. |
Line status (field OPESTA) |
The progress and status of the operation sequence number. |
Site (field MFGFCY) |
The work order production site. |
Work center group (field WCR) |
The group of work centers the production resource belongs to. |
Product (field ITMREF) |
The code of the product to be released. |
OP UOM (field OPEUOM) |
The unit in which the work order operation quantity is expressed. Work order operation quantities are expressed in the operation unit. |
Expected quantity (field EXTQTY) |
The planned quantity. The quantity is expressed in the stock unit. |
Remaining qty. (field RMNEXTQTY) |
The quantity not yet built. The quantity is expressed in the stock unit. |
Released routing (field ROUNUM) |
The routing code. The routing describes the process involved in building or maintaining a product. That is, the sequence of operations and tools that are involved in producing or processing a particular product. The routing code matches the product code. The product code can be a manufactured product (a bill of material), or a generic reference to a parent routing which is linked to several products. |
Time unit (field TIMUOMCOD) |
The unit of time in which the operation is measured. |
Setup time (field EXTSETTIM) |
The time that it takes for the machinery to be set up ready for use. The time is expressed in the defined time unit. |
Actual stp. time (field CPLSETTIM) |
The actual time tracked for preparing the machine, tool, or labor resource before production started. The time is expressed in the setup time unit defined for the production operation. |
Run time (field EXTOPETIM) |
The time it takes to perform the operation for the required number of items. |
Actual run time (field CPLOPETIM) |
The actual time tracked for the machine, tool, labor resource assigned to perform the operation. The time is expressed in the run time unit defined for the production operation. |
Labor W/C (field EXTLAB) |
The labor work center associated with the machine, such as a labor work center that relates to the crew that operates the machine. |
Number of resources (field EXTWSTNBR) |
The number of the production resource that are needed to perform the operation. |
Exp. no. labor (field EXTLABNBR) |
The number of the labor resource that are needed to perform the operation. |
Labor setup factor (field SETLABCOE) |
The coefficient applied to the planned setup time. It is used to obtain the setup time allocated to the labor work center linked to the main work center. |
Labor operational factor (field OPELABCOE) |
The coefficient applied to the planned operation time. It is used to obtain the operation time for the labor work center linked to the main work center. |
Labor setup time (field LABSETTIM) |
The time that it takes for the labor resource to be set up ready to perform the operation. The time is expressed in the defined time unit. |
Labor run time (field LABOPETIM) |

Line (field POPLIN) |
The line number on the source document or purchase order. |
Sequence (field POPSEQ) |
The sequence number on the source document or purchase order. |
Project (field PJT) |
The associated project code. The content can be one of the following:
If the content of the 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".
