Connect Facility-Specific Parameters to a Work Order Type

You can add parameters specific to a facility to a work order type to enable the differences in how the same work order type behavior occurs across facilities.

Outcome

For each facility, some key aspects of the work order type are changed.

The work order type is used to determine how work orders are processed in the system.

The information is stored in the table for facility-specific parameters (MMORDN).

Before You Start

A work order type must be defined in 'Work Order Type. Open' (MOS120).

A number series must be defined in 'Number Series. Open' (CRS165).

Follow These Steps

  1. Start 'Work Order Type. Open' (MOS120/B).

  2. Select the work order type to which you want to add facility specific parameters. Select option 12='Facility Parameters'.

    'WO Type. Connect Facility Parameters' (MOS122) is displayed.

  3. On the (MOS122/B) panel, select the facility to which you want to connect specific parameters. Select Create.

  4. On the E panel, select a number series.

    The number series determines the numbers that are assigned to work orders and carries information about the type of number series.

  5. Specify any other specific parameters to be considered valid for the facility. Press Enter to finish.

    The fields are explained in the instruction on how to define a work order type.

Parameters to Set

Program ID/ Panel Field The field indicates …
(MOS122/E) Do not display MOS050 when closing work order

…whether (MOS050) should remain inactive when a work order is closed.

If the check box is cleared and Auto receipt is selected for the work center in (PDS010), work orders will be automatically closed when the last operation is closed and the service history record is approved.

(MOS122/E) Print material net change

This parameter is used as a default initial value in 'Work Order. Print Separate Documents' (MOS150).

If the check box is selected, only material lines with ‘Doc printed’ deselected are included in the printout of shop traveler.

If the check box is cleared, all material lines are included in the printout.

(MOS122/E) Auto close nonstock items

If the check box is selected, the material lines with nonstock items is set to status 90-'Reported' and is flagged as completed if 'Issue method' is set to 0-'Non-stock item', and quantity and component price are specified.

If the check box is cleared, it must be processed further to set the status to 90.

(MOS122/F) Incl WO demand in MRP for item/facility on-hand method 2 ...whether a material demand with 'Item category' set to '07-Repairable item' in (MMS001) and 'On-hand method' set to '2-Accumulate changes according to transaction types: - Purchasing, order category 1 - Physical inventory differences - Manufacturing - Sales - Scrap.' in (MMS003) are included in 'Material Plan. Open' (MMS080). When enabled, this setting activates the material plan flag 'Include PO in projected on-hand balance' (CALI) once the demand is added.
The prerequisites are:
  • Set the item/warehouse record in the demanding warehouse to use the 'Acquisition code' '3-Distribution from another warehouse'
  • Specify the 'Supplying warehouse'
  • Configure the sourcing/supplying facility to use on-hand balance method 1
