Order Disposition
Order disposition is used to close the order and transfer responsibility for it out of the PAC system. This involves:
- Closing the order for transfer to warehouse management.
- Updating on-hand balance and deleting the order from work-in-progress.
- Evaluating how efficiently resources were used.
- Identifying persistent problems for analysis and corrective action.
Before you start
The process can be started when these prerequisites are met:
- There is a released order.
- Basic Data for Production Activity Control is defined.
Follow these steps
This section describes the activities in this process.
-
Put-away and Flag Complete
Order disposition starts with receipt of the product to stock and reporting the flagging of the order as completed. See Receiving Manufacturing Orders.
The order status is set at 80 or 90 (closed). Status 80 indicates there are components or operations on the order that are not flagged as completed or the product should be reported in Managing Laboratory Inspection.
On-hand balance is updated and work-in-progress is reduced when the receipt is reported. When the order is flagged as completed, responsibility and control is transferred from PAC.
-
Quality Inspection
Products the must undergo quality inspection have their balance identity status set at 1 when receipt is reported. This status is raised to 2 (approved) when the inspection is completed. This is done in 'Quality-inspected Item. Put away' (PMS130).
This changes the order status from 80 to 90. See Managing Laboratory Inspection.
-
Production Statistics
Production statistics can be created when the has status 90. This is when all activities on the order are flagged as completed and any quality inspection is completed. Production statistics are created in program Create Production Statistics (PMS300).
