Indicates whether selected Work Order is an Assembly or Disassembly Work Order.

: Select a Standard Operation to be used, if any.

You will notice that two separate description fields are available here. This makes it possible to isolate different categories of information onto separate lines. For example, the first line might contain an Item name, while the second line contains packaging information. Having these two types of information one above the other can serve as a kind of useful shorthand when viewing data in certain windows. However, these two lines will be concatenated (i.e., "joined together") when they are printed or presented in an on-line display format.

Specify a Work Center to be used for specified Operation.

Enter a tooling reference—if applicable.

Indicates the next available Work Order Operations sequence number.

Select a number using the arrow buttons, or manually enter a value up to a maximum of 99. (Default is "1".) Value entered defines when the specified Operation is to begin. For example, if the default value "1" is entered, the Operation will begin on the first day of the manufacturing process. If "2" is entered, the Operation will begin on the second day.

Displays the quantity ordered for the specified Item.

Indicates the number of units, in the given Item's Inventory UOM, that can be produced in a minute—and also the number of minutes that are required to produce 1 unit, expressed in the given Item's Inventory UOM.

Setup Time: Amount entered represents the number of minutes required to set up the Work Center for the Operation.

Select to report setup time.

Must be selected for labor Costs associated with setup to be tracked in the G/L and elsewhere. If not selected, these Costs will not be reported.

Run Time: Amount entered represents the total run time for the Operation measured in minutes.

Select to report run time. Must be selected for labor Costs associated with run time to be tracked in the G/L and elsewhere. If not selected, these Costs will not be reported.

Select a Unit of Measure—or enter a free-form UOM. Specify a UOM to be used optionally when Work Order Operations are posted for the specified Operation. Operations may be posted using either the Inventory or Production UOM. In addition, different Operations in a single Bill of Operations may use different Production UOMs. For example, if you are producing soup, you might mix the soup in one Operation using UOM = BATCH. But when canning the soup, the canning Operation might use UOM = CAN. If you post Operations using the Production UOM, the Inventory/Production UOM ratio normalizes the posting so that the Inventory impact is recorded using the Inventory UOM.

When Work Order Operations are posted using the Production UOM, the Inventory/Production UOM ratio normalizes the posting so that the Inventory impact is recorded in the Inventory UOM.

Select if you want finished goods to be received into Inventory when this Operation is posted. Only one Work Order Operation may have this flag set. If this option is selected, the General Ledger will show the finished goods being received into Inventory when the Operation is posted.

Select if you want linked component material to be issued automatically (i.e., backflushed) when this Operation is posted. If this option is selected, the General Ledger will show the component materials being removed from Inventory when this Operation is posted.

This is a scrolling text field with word-wrapping for entering instructions related to the Operation.

Enables you to edit highlighted Operations. The edit screen is the same as that for creating a new Operation—except that when editing, the fields will contain Operation information based on definitions found in the Bill of Operations for the Item. Double-clicking on an Operation will also bring you to the editing screen.

Moves an Operation sequence up the Work Order Operations list. Moving an Operation up or down the Work Order Operations list constitutes a production override. Changes made here do not affect the original Bill of Operations sequence. Sequence numbers, which are incremented in multiples of ten, are automatically adjusted to reflect the change in position.
