Work Order overview

The Infor WMS Warehouse Management (WM) Work Order feature operates within warehouses that add value to existing items or combine component items into finished goods or sub-assemblies. Operations are typically outlined and controlled by work orders. The Work Order feature supports light manufacturing operations and can be used to control any operations that expend components to create goods to be shipped or sold.

You can manually generate work orders using the workstation or through an outside system that keeps the flow of work ahead of the demand for finished goods.

You can use the Work Order feature to:

• Gather components pre-defined to a Bill of Material
• Move those components through one or more workstations, each associated with a work center
• Receive final items into inventory
• Report work order activity using an RF device
• View supporting documents and reports.
