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.

Search results

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.

Selection criteria

Production site (field MFGFCY)

The production site associated with the user is proposed by default. It can be modified by another site authorized for the operator, depending on their authorizations.

Formula (field FORMULE)

Enter, select or build an Enterprise Management filter calculation expression using the formula editor.

 

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)

This field displays the work order number (unique ID).
This number is automatically or manually generated upon each creation.
Click the Selection icon to open the list of work orders (which only includes 'Firm' or 'Closed' work orders) and select a work order.
field MFGNUMFIN
Start date (field STRDATDEB)

This field identifies the planned start date of the Work Order.
field STRDATFIN
Released product (field ITMREFDEB)

This field is used to filter the work orders assigned according to the released product.

field ITMREFFIN
BOM code (field BOMALTDEB)

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).
field BOMALTFIN

Several BOMs can be defined for a single product reference.
They can be distinguished via the code, entered on two numbers.

The various BOM codes can be used to manage different product structures according to their use context such as:

  • MRP calculation,
  • sales order entry,
  • manufacturing/production.

This field can be left empty (value = 0) to enable manual entry of the components. In this case, only the component is loaded.
Routing code (field ROUALTDEB)

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).
field ROUALTFIN
Routing (field ROUNUMDEB)

This routing is used in work order management.
It must be present in a code authorized for the site, with a checked "manufacturing" indicator.
field ROUNUMFIN

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.

Tab Search results

For the specified production site, the system selects all pending work orders (field Status='Pending') that meet the entered selection criteria. The planned production start date, routing information and the BOM code are included.

Selection criteria

Production site (field MFGFCY)

The production site associated with the user is proposed by default. It can be modified by another site authorized for the operator, depending on their authorizations.

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.
