The Work orders Entry transactions function contains a Home section and one section per feature of the functionality:
Presentation
The Home section provides key tracking and access information. You can pin this section so that it does not scroll off the page.
Each transaction code you define is available for selection when the Work order function is loaded, either from the menu or an action that accesses the Work order function.
You must define at least one entry transaction which is dedicated to the automatic work order generation functions (to support the release of order plans). Please refer to the Parameters tab for further information.

Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Use
| Click this check box if this entry transaction code is dedicated to the automatic work order generation functions (to support the release of order plans). These include the functions Enterprise planning (FUNGBENCH), Planning workbench (FUNDBENCH), Grouping (FUNMPICK) and Automatic release (FUNMAUTR).
|
Authorized statuses
| Use this field to set the initial status for the work order as 'Firm' or 'Planned'. Planned orders cannot be allocated, printed, or tracked. They can, however, be scheduled and can be respected by the Material Requirements Planning (MRP) process. Alternatively, select 'By selection'. This value requires the user to choose the initial status upon order entry. |
Grouping
| Use this field to control the addition of released products to a work order.
|
Release mode
| This field defines the release mode for a work order.
|
| This field defines the release mode for a work order.
|
| This field is used in conjunction with the Materials only (field MFGMODM) release mode, as follows:
|
| This field defines the release mode for a work order.
|
| This field is used in conjunction with the Operations only (field MFGMODO) release mode, as follows:
|
Allocations
| This field defines when components are allocated to the work order.
|
| This field defines when the work order is scheduled. Scheduling is the process of sequencing the operations in time, according to the durations, slack times, and relationships in the work order (or routing for suggestions).
|
| Are work orders submitted to the Production Scheduler for detailed scheduling manually or automatically?
|
| This field defines when the defined production folder documents are printed.

Presentation
You use this section to apply default entry, and display, fields and values to this entry transaction. The help for a field in this section might prompt you to think about the effect of selecting the option (check box). For example, whether the first date of availability of a component should be calculated by your system as many factors such as demand, replenishments, free stock and lead times can affect the calculation, potentially leading to a loss in performance.
Where fields can be entered or displayed you can select from the following values:
Entered
The associated field is to enable data entry.
Displayed
The associated field is to be displayed. It is not to be available for data entry.
Hidden
The associated field is not to be displayed and where appropriate, not calculated.
Fields
The following fields are present on this tab :
Entry parameters
| Use this field to permit (check box=selected) or prevent (check box=clear) modification of the release unit where the displayed unit is different from the stock unit. |
| Use this field to control entry or modification of the production routing.
|
| This field defines the default release/tracking quantity.
|
Entry mode
| Do you use lot numbers? If yes, do you assign a lot number manually to a released product or are your lot numbers assigned automatically? |
| Do you add manual descriptions? |
| Do you manually define the site or customer to ship a released product to? |
| Do you manually associate a released product with a project code? |
| Do you want to manually adjust lead times for the work order operations? The default lead time reduction rate is defined by the GPERCOMP - % LT reduction default (GPA chapter, LOA group) parameter. |
| Do you prioritize orders? |
| Do you want to see if a Change request has been raised and is being processed against a product? |
| Do you want your system to calculate (suggest) the First Date of Material Availability for components? |
Scheduling mode
| This field defines the scheduling method for a work order.
These calculations rely on the production lead time, reduction factor and economic quantity defined on the product-site record.
|
Materials entry
| Use this field to control entry or modification of the Major version number for a product. You can set this field to one of the following values:
|
| Use this field to control where a Major version number is displayed or available for entry. If the Major version parameter is hidden this field is not available for selection. |
| Use this field to control entry or modification of the Minor version number for a product. You can set this field to one of the following values:
|
| Use this field to control where a Minor version number is displayed or available for entry. If the Major version parameter is hidden this field is not available for selection. |
