Options for controlling part flow in Workshop

The parts good arriving at the last operation are cumulated in the completed quantity of the W.O. They must be transferred into stock. The options of follow-up are defined in the Production Activity Control Policy window.

Full Work Order Receipt

If the Complete Work Order Receipt option is activated, the finished quantity can be transferred in stock only if the W.O. is completed, i.e. the released quantity was entirely reported (good parts or rejects) thus when the W.O. has the Finished status.

If it is not activated, one will be able to make inventory receipts of partial quantities.

Automatic Work Order Receipt

If the Automatic Work Order Receipt option is activated, the finished quantity is automatically transferred into available stock (status AVAI) of the default warehouse for the item (specified on the item page).

If it is not activated, the receipts will have to be made by the W.O. receipt into warehouse function which can be reached either starting from the Open Order maintenance page, or from the Control menu.

When the totality of the released quantity of a W.O. was reported at the last operation (good and rejected quantities), the W.O. passes to the Finished status and can be closed.

Automatic Work Order Closing

If the Automatic Work Order Closing option is activated, passing to the Completed status generates automatically the closing of the W.O. (passing to the Closed status) if all the components were issued from stock (it is recommended, if this option is activated, to activate the automatic components issue).

If it is not activated, the closing will be carried out by the Closing button of the Open Order maintenance page.
