Define Shop Order Auto Processing Start Time
Explanation
This activity is used to automatically release or reserve groups of
shop order requisitions and shop orders using scheduling. This is a batch process.
To perform it, you must enter a set of parameters that specify how you want the system to
define the shop order auto processing start time.
All requisitions and orders that have had a shop order process type
associated will be automatically processed according to the process type rules.
In the case of requisitions, they will be converted to shop orders. In the case
of shop orders, they will be moved from Planned status to Released status, and
optionally, on to Reserved status according to the process type steps.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites:
- Shop order process types must have been defined in the
Shop
Order Process Type tab of the
Manufacturing Standard Basic Data window.
- These process types must have been attached to the
inventory parts in the
Manufacturing tab of the
Inventory
Part window.
- For existing shop orders, process types must be linked in the Shop
Order/Detail tab.
- These parts must have a buildable structure. For reservation of
allocations, adequate material must be available in inventory.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The system releases and/or reserves
shop order requisitions and shop orders based on specified parameters and a predefined
schedule.
- Requisitions and shop orders with no shop order process type attached are not
subject to automatic order processing.
