Since consumers set the pace for production demands, it is necessary to ensure work orders are produced and closed accurately. The following instructions on how to Close and Reactivate Work Orders will assist in keeping up with production requirements.
Close a Work Order
Step 1: The status of the Work Order needs to be verified.
Go To: Manufacturing > Production Tracking > Work Order Status (FUNMSITU)
- Enter the Production Site
- Enter the Work Order Number
- Scroll down to the Quantities Block
- Review the Planned Quantity vs the Total Actual Quantity
- Planned Quantity = The quantity requested by the customer
- Total Actual Quantity = The quantity actually produced by production
- Review the Planned Quantity vs the Total Actual Quantity
- Click on the “Tracking Detail” Button
- To view the details of Manufacturing, Components and Operations tracking
Once it has been determined that the Work Order is Complete it can now be closed.
