On this page you can enter or change information in these fields:

  • Unit

You can access additional options from the Line Items view:

  • Add

    Click Add to add a new line. The Add VA Line window is displayed.

    Note: You cannot add a line to a completed IN section. If you attempt to add a line to a completed IN section, this message is displayed:

    This Value Add Order/Section/Line Is Complete and Cannot Be processed

  • Extend

    Select a line in the grid and click Extend to access information pertaining to cost and availability, to change the quantity shipped, or to cancel the line. This option is not available for specification (sp) sections.

These options are available when you select the More (…) menu:

  • Labor Product Information

    Choose this option to view labor rates and charge method information about a labor product. This option is active for external (EX), internal (IT), and inspection (IS) section labor product lines.

  • Delete

    Choose this option to delete the selected VA order. You are prompted to confirm the deletion.

  • Comments

    Choose this option to specify comments for the VA line.

  • Serial/Lot

    Choose this option to select what serial or lot numbers to use. This option is active for inventory in (II), inventory comp (IN) and internal (IT) section lines.

  • Sourcing

    Select one or multiple lines and choose this option to create a tie from the current VA section line to a purchase order, warehouse transfer, or another VA order to obtain sufficient product for the fabrication process. This option is only available for inventory in (II), external EX), and internal (IN) type line items. If you create a new VA order, another VA Order Entry session opens and you are placed in the Quick Entry window with a new VA number. You can drill down on the order to access the detail and specify the required information.

    You can select multiple lines in VA Order Entry-Line Items and tie them to a single warehouse transfer (allowing sourcing of all the selected lines to a single warehouse transfer). If you select multiple lines after the line has already been tied to a warehouse transfer, and then return to the Sourcing window, you are not permitted to change the warehouse transfer tie to a different PO or Value Add tie. Also, if you select No Tie on the Sourcing window after the warehouse transfer is created, the tie is removed, although the lines on the warehouse transfer still exist, and must be manually removed. A message is displayed: The Order No Longer Tied to PO/WT/WO#; Manually Remove From PO/WT/WO (5976).

    You can also select Sourcing to create a back tie to an existing warehouse transfer tie on an IN section line. This can only be done for a fabrication warehouse where the Back Ties option in Product Warehouse Description Setup is selected. You can click the Sourcing button from the VA Order Entry-PO/WT Interface window to view the Back Ties sourcing window.

  • Line History

    Choose this option to view the history of a line (dates and stage changes). This option is active for inventory comp (in) section lines.

  • Export to Excel

    Select this option to export the selected lines to an Excel spreadsheet.
