Overview
The work order section for Inventory Interface functions in the same way as the
Purchase Order section. Like the purchase order section, the work order section can scan
through the inventory and sales databases to see what items are in need. If you have
assemblies in the inventory database and the supply code for those item is one of the
following:
| Make to Stock |
| Assemble to Order |
| Make to Order |
| Engineer to Order |
| Package to Order |
then a work order can be created for that item. The work order means that instead of
having to go to the supplier for the item, you will manufacture the item from its' BOM.
The Work Order section will determine the assemble quantity for each assembly much like
the PO section does. It also has the ability to scan the sales database to determine
future needs. When you have assembled an item an enter it into the computer, the
components for that item are automatically taken from inventory. By keeping track of the
quantity made the Purchase order section knows exactly how much raw material is required.
When II is instructed to automatically create WO's, it will:
| examine the inventory database for items below/at their Order Pt and use
the sales and work order databases to determine future Due Out requirements |
| items in the WO will contain the Order Qty value as specified below:
