Blocked in closing

This parameter—CTLCLE—is used with work orders. Use it to prevent closure of a work order if one or both of the following circumstances are detected:

  • The quantity of components needed to manufacture the product are not tracked in full. The Remaining quantity field is not zero or blank for 1 or more components.
  • The progress and status of an operation needed to manufacture the product is not complete and closed.
Refer to the Production tracking documentation.


Blocking outstanding materials and operations: This is the default value for this parameter. A work order cannot be closed if one component line has an outstanding quantity against it or if one routing operation remains incomplete and has not been closed.

Blocking outstanding materials: A work order cannot be closed if one component line has an outstanding quantity against it. Incomplete routing operations that are not closed are ignored.

Blocking outstanding operations: A work order cannot be closed if one routing operation remains incomplete and is not closed. Any component line with an outstanding quantity against it is ignored.

No control: No controls are needed. A work order can be closed without checking for outstanding component quantities or incomplete routing operations. A warning is displayed if either of these circumstances are detected.
