Manufacturing > Production tracking > Mass closing/completions 

Use this function to complete and/or close one or a range of work orders against which production activity has been tracked.

For work orders that have been completed and/or closed:

  • You can continue to record production activity for work orders that are complete but not closed.
  • You can only record production activity for work orders that are closed if the cost price has not been calculated for the work order.
You can only close in progress work orders at Firm status.

    Screen management

    The Mass closing/completions function contains a single screen into which you enter your selection, or filtering criteria. The list of work orders to be completed and/or closed is built from the criteria you provide and displayed in a table of results.

    Entry screen

    Presentation

    Use this screen to enter your selection, or filtering criteria. The list of work orders to be completed and/or closed is built from the criteria you specify and displayed as a list of work orders on a second screen.

    The critical fields are the WO close (WTRAIT) field, and in the Allocations block, the Production cost price (PRFFLG) field. If you choose to close the selected work orders you can also choose to calculate the production cost price. Note, however, that once closed and the production cost price has been calculated, no further production activity can be recorded for the work order.

    Use the Blocks block to control events that could potentially prevent or block the balancing and/or closure of the work order.

    Use the Allocations block to control which actions are carried out at the end of the processing run.

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Block number 1

    Type in or select the production site from which the work orders are to be selected. This field is mandatory.

    • WO close (field WTRAIT)

    Select the type of processing to carry out:

    • Complete or close: Complete and close the selected work orders.
    • Complete: Sets the statusof each operation, component and released product line to Completed; changes the work order status from In progress to Completed.
    • Close: Sets the status of the work order to Closed.

    Start - end range

    • WO number (field WNUMDEB)

    Filter for results within a range of work orders. For a single work order, enter the same work order in the from/start WO number (work order number) and to/end WO number fields.

    Filter for results within a range of product codes. For a single product, enter the same product code in the from/start Product and to/end Product fields.

    • Date (field WDATDEB)

    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.

    Filter for results within a range of project/project task codes. For a single project/project task, enter the same project/project task code in the from/start Project and to/end Project fields.

    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 project operational (task) structure. For example, if a material task codeis "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 are no separator characters, the link is 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).

    • Order (field WCDEDEB)

    Filter for results within a range of sales orders. For a single sales order, enter the same sales order number in the from/start Order (Sales order number) and to/end Order fields.

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Block number 1

    The production site at which the work orders were processed.

    • Closing date (field CLODAT)

    The date the work orders will be closed. This field defaults to today's date but can be changed. You can select a different date that is earlier than today but you cannot select a later date.

    The Closing date of all selected work orders will default to this date.

    Grid

    • field FMODIF

    To select this line, select this checkbox; to deselect this line, clear this checkbox.

    • Closing date (field CLODATDET)

    The date this work order will be closed. This field defaults to the closing date in the header information but can be changed.

    • Order no. (field MFGNUM)

    This field displays the work order number.

    • WO description (field MFGDES)

    The short free-format description or reference entered for this order.

    This routing code describes a particular sequence of shop floor processes for a particular product. That is, the sequence of operations and tools that are used in a particular routing.

    The routing code is a product code which can be the reference for a manufactured product or a generic reference (parent routing) linked to multiple products.

    • Status (field MFGTRKFLG)

    The current status, or progress of the work order. This field is updated automatically.

    The work order status values are defined in Local menu 339.

    • Start date (field STRDAT)

    This field identifies the planned or actual production start date of the work order.

    • End date (field ENDDAT)

    This field identifies the end or required completion date for this work order.

    This field displays the associated project code. The content can be one of the following:

    • A project code
    • A project code and a project budget code
    • A project code and a project task code, that is a material task code, a labor task code (sales only), or a combined (mixed) labor and material task code.

    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).

    • Order (field VCRNUMORI)

    This field identifies the number of the source document or order.
