Work Order Material Resources (tswcs4110m000)

Use this session to add material resources to a work order or to a work order activity. The selected delivery type determines how the materials are allocated to the work order or work order activity.

In this session, you can also handle disassembled parts. You can enter:

  • Serviceable parts that are waiting to be assembled.
  • Unserviceable parts for which a related work order must be created.
  • Unserviceable parts that must be replaced.

You can add work order material resources to:

  • Work orders.
  • Work order activities. If you link material resources to a work order activity, the resource requirements that you defined in the Reference Activity - Resource Requirements (tsacm2120m000) session, are copied to the Work Control System module.
Note

Note

If you implemented Financials, the material resources that are used for work order or work order activities are booked as work in process (WIP) costs:

  • For the From Warehouse delivery type, WIP costs are booked based on the issued quantity. The WIP booking is adjusted based on the consumed quantity.
  • For the From Service Stock or the From Kit delivery types, WIP costs are booked based on the consumed quantity.
Note

When you use the reference activities, LN copies the material required data to work order.

LN defaults the project pegging data in this session either from the Costing Breaks Service Depot Repair Material (tppdm3103m000) session or from the Work Orders (tswcs2100m000) session. The costing breaks functionality enables you to redirect cost from one level to another.

 

Work Order

Work Order
The work order description is selected in the following order:
  1. The description of the service type.
  2. The description of the serialized item.
  3. The description of the item.
  4. The label description.
Activity Line
The work order activity line for which the material resource line is created.

The activity line represents the reference activity or master routing that must be carried out for the work order. The activity line is identified by a sequence number.

Note

Allocation and Hard Pegging is not applicable only for the following delivery types:

  • To Scrap
  • To Warehouse
  • To Warehouse by Transport
  • From Service Inventory
  • Supplier Direct Delivery
  • By Field Purchase

Select the allocation and hard pegging type for the work order cost lines. This field can have the following values:

  • Business Partner Based: The inventory supply for the work order cost line must be allocated and/or hard pegged to the sold-to BP.
  • Order Based: The inventory supply for the work order cost line must be allocated and/or hard pegged to the work order.
  • Customer Reference Based: The supply for the work order cost line must be allocated and/or hard pegged to the customer reference.
  • Internal Reference Based: The supply for the work order cost line must be allocated and/or hard pegged to the internal reference.
  • Not Applicable: The allocation and hard pegging is not applicable.
Note

Reference
A reference code to which the inventory is allocated. LN can use the inventory only for an order with the same reference number.
Note

The field is enabled only when you set the Allocation and Hard Pegging Type field to one of the following:

  • Internal Reference Based LN uses the field to record an internal reference.
  • Customer Reference Based LN uses the field to record a reference code that is defined by a customer.
Use unallocated Inventory
If this check box is selected, Infor LN Enterprise Planning uses unallocated inventory to match and meet the inventory demand and supply.

If this check box is cleared, Infor LN Enterprise Planning does not use unallocated inventory to meet the inventory demand.

Note

LN matches the inventory demand and supply in the following order of priority:

  1. Allocated inventory
  2. Unallocated inventory
Allocated to Quantity

Serial Number
A number that, together with the item code or manufacturer part number, uniquely identifies a component, an item, a machine, or an installation.

This serial number is usually shown together with the manufacturer part number and other identification data on an identification plate that is attached to the item.

Note

If you have selected the From Warehouse or the Via Purchase delivery type, and the items cannot be delivered from the serial number, you must create a material resource line for each serialized item that has a serial number other than the original serial number.

Example

Two ABC items must be delivered from a warehouse. The specified warehouse can only deliver two items ABC-123 and one item ABC-456. For item ABC-123, the current material resource line is created. For item ABC-456, a new material resource line must be created.

Revision

Note
  • You must set the item revision control check boxes in the General Service Parameters (tsmdm0100m000) session.
  • You can maintain the revision if the work order status is Free, Completed, Signed-Off, or Closed.
  • You cannot maintain the revision for serialized items.
Effectivity Unit
A reference number, for example a sales order line or a project deliverable line, that is used to model deviations for a unit effective item.
Required Quantity
The quantity that is required based on the specified length, width, thickness, and number of units required for the item.

If the required quantity is not based on the specified length, width, thickness, and number of units, the default value is one.

Actual Quantity

Note

If the delivery type for the work order is From Warehouse or Via Purchase, the difference between the issued quantity and the consumed quantity is returned to the warehouse after the work order or work order activity is closed.

    • Planned quantity = 0 pcs
    • Issued quantity = 10 pcs
    • Consumed quantity = 7 pcs
Commitment Required
If this check box is selected, materials that require delivery from a warehouse must be committed to the work order or to the work order activity before it can be planned or released.

Whether materials must be committed before work orders or work order activities can be planned or released, is determined by the Commitment Required setting in the Work Order Parameters (tswcs0100m000) session.
