Add Operations and Subcontract Requirements to Service Revision

Outcome

One or more operations are linked to the service revision. These operations can be defined as regular operations or subcontracted operations.

The operations defined in the service revision are copied to the service record in (MOS300).

These tables are updated:

• Product database materials (APDMAT)
• Product database operations (APDOPE)
• Product database operations (APROPE)
• Routing operation activity description (APROPS)
• Product database materials (APRMAT)
• Operation routing activity (APDOPS)

Before you start

• The starting conditions listed in Linking Operations, Materials, Skills and Tool Requirements to Service Revision must be met.
• A work center must exist in 'Work Center. Open' (PDS010).
• For subcontracted operations, supplier agreements must be defined in 'Purchase Agreement. Open' (PPS100). Valid jobs must be connected to the agreement in 'Supplier. Connect Item' (PPS040).

Follow these steps

1. Start 'Service Revision. Open' (ECS300/B).

2. Highlight the service revision to connect new operations and select option 12='Product structure' to display 'Service Revision. Connect Operations and Materials' (ECS312/B).

3. Select sorting order 1 and panel sequence EFGHI.

   The I panel is used if M3 Scheduling Workbench (SWB) is activated and is not described here.

4. Specify an operation number and a work center where the work is performed. Select New to display the G panel.

   A sequence number must not be specified because this number is used for material lines only.

   We recommend to sequence the operation numbers in a way that allows new sequence numbers between old ones. For example, 10, 20, 30.

   The work center can be defined either as a regular work center or as a subcontract work center. Work centers are classified as subcontract work centers in (PDS010).

5. Specify a sub-service if one is to be created.

   Sub-services are used for network planning. If you specify a sub-service ID, a sub-service record is created in (ECS300). You can then connect specific requirements to the current operation, which are the same as the sub-service record.

6. Specify a brief operation description, the run time and the setup time for the operation.

   Setup times are optional fields and indicate the amount of time required to prepare the maintenance object before work can begin.

7. Specify the planned number of workers that are required for the job and, if required, the number of workers needed to set up the operation.

8. Specify how the operation is to be processed if it belongs to a phantom routing (optional).

9. Specify a scrap percentage and a scrap setup, a document ID, and a tool number (optional fields).

   Scrap percentage is normally used for manufacturing to indicate the expected scrap in the operation.

10. The lead time offset indicates the number of days before the finish date that an operation must start.

    This field is used differently based on the 'MO lead time method' set in 'Item. Connect Facility' (MMS003). The alternatives are 0 for manual and 1 for automatic.

    This can be overriden in 'Work Order Type. Open' (MOS120), parameter 197.

    If alternative 2 is selected, the 'Lead time offset' field is available to specify a manual number of days.

    These are the alternatives:

    • 0 - Acc to MMS003/F
    • 1 - Manual - Override MMS003/F
    • 2 - Manual - Lead time offset

    Select alternative 0 to calculate operation times according to the 'MO lead time method' on (MMS003/F), whether manual or automatic.

    Select alternative 1 to override the 'MO lead time method' on (MMS003/F) and set operation times manually. This tells the system to behave as if the 'MO lead time method' on (MMS003/F) is 0.

    Select alternative 2 to behave as in Manufacturing, using the manually set lead time offset on each operation (days before finish). When this alternative is used, the time between the start date and the finish date on the WO header is equal to the longest 'Lead time offset'. The operations are then calculated by using the lead time offset to determine when to start. The finish date and time for each operation are calculated based on the runtime/production days.

11. Specify a tool number and a subcontract control if this is a subcontracted operation.

    Press Enter to display the H panel.

    The subcontract control determines how and when purchase requisitions and purchase orders are created.

    If blank is selected, no purchase order or requisition is created. The purchase order must be manually created.

    If 1 is selected, a requisition order for linked material lines and a purchase order are created. The requisition is created in (MMS100) when the planned PO is released.

    If 2 is selected, only a requisition for linked material lines is created in (MMS100). It is created when the planned WO is released.

12. Specify a labor skill code and an operation description (optional fields), and specify whether this operation is an assembly operation.

    Press Enter to display the I panel.

    If this operation is defined as an assembly operation, a warning is displayed if suborders have a finish date that is later than the start date on this operation. The warning is issued in (MOS110).

13. Press Enter to finish.
