Upgrade upon execution

This parameter—RELUPD—controls changes to components and routing operations when a planned work order is converted to a full production work order.


Routing and BOM: This is the default value for this parameter. When the status of a work order is set to Firm, reload the default information in the master bill of material (BOM) and routing records that's valid on the work order launch date. On the date a planned work order is released to become a full production work order, the list of components and the operations needed to manufacture the product reload.

Routing: When the status of a work order is set to Firm, reload the default routing operations in the master routing that's valid on the work order launch date. Do not reload the master BOM.

BOM: When the status of a work order is set to Firm, reload the default list of components in the BOM record that's valid on the work order launch date. Do not reload the routing information.

Each of the BOM and routing parameter values force the component/operation information on the work order to reload from the master BOM/routing record that's valid on the actual work order launch date. All component/operation changes made to the planned work order are removed and any new components/operations that were added. The work order needs to be reviewed carefully. Changes that were made prior to the change to the launch date need to be re-entered if they still apply to the firm work order.


None: Do not reload the list of components, or changes to the component information or the routing when the work order status changes from Planned to Firm. Retain all the BOM and routing details defined in the planned work order.
