Work orders

Use the Work orders form to view or print the work orders that have been created.

You can create a work order for every operation included in a production file. Work orders show job instructions. The information may include:

• the production file for which the operation is performed
• the offer or order for which the operation is performed
• The lead time of the operation
• The status of the operation
• Any operation instructions

For each operation, you can include information that will be printed on the work order. This information is entered on the Memo tab of the Production calculation for operations form. To print text only on a work order, select Internal documentation from the list box.

Creating work orders

Work orders cannot be added with . Work orders are created with the Create work orders process. When you start this process, you can select the operations for which you want to create work orders. The process creates the relevant work orders and places them in the Work orders file in the production modules.

Work orders for hour registration

You can use the work order to record actual hours. A work order has a unique code, which is linked to a sales offer and/or sales order, a production order, an operation, and a machine. This enables you to enter hours quickly, as the work order directly links to the corresponding sales order, production order, operation, and machine.

Specific characteristics of work orders

• Parts, equipment, and external operations will be displayed on a work order only if they are linked to one or more operations.
• A work order code is a unique code against which you can post hours in the Time Registration module.
• The numbering method for work orders can be set in the General Settings module (Settings folder, Codes form, Production tab). Work order codes could be composed as follows: year, note type, sequence number.
• You can choose the default layout or an alternative layout for the work order. If required, a different layout can be set for every operation. The work order layout can be created in the General Settings module (Settings folder, Default values form, Calculation tab).
• You can also print bar codes on work orders for use during direct time registration.
