Outside Operations

[hsiao_te_wang]

Hi List,
I am trying the outside operation functions by WO but got questions like:
1. The requested date of generated PO (for item A*OP10) is copied from WO requested date.
2. The quantity on generated PO is copied from quantity on WO.
My question is can I have the workarounds to have the PO requested date earlier than WO requested date and quantity greater than WO quantity ?
Besides, I found the item master of A*OP10 is generated automatically after WO created and I do not need to created the item master in advance. Should this be correct ?
Thanks for any comments !
Regards,
John Hsiao, ERP8.0, SP19

Hi John!

From the info you provided I would take a look at the lead time of the
purchased item as it looks like its not being taken into account. Also if
you need to flex the required date remember you can use the lead time offset
on the BoM for this. As to quantity you could introduce yield or scrap to
inflate the requirement otherwise it would be a manual intervention -
although I have not tried this with an outside op before.

Best regards

Peter

John,

If you check the Knowledge Garden I do recall SAR's concerning the request date. It comes from the WO Header rather than the backsheduled Route Operation Date. I do not believe that JDE were willing to change this. There is no workaround.

The qty also comes from the WO. Maybe you could explain why this should be different?

I have seen extensive modifications to the way Subcontract works to allow the batching of multiple WO's together on the same PO. You have to create the PO's as Reqs then copy them as lines onto a PO. This would loose the WO Nbr & Op so you have to modify the software. You are not alone in your frustrations.

Sorry John, I forgot the last bit of your question. Yes, R31410 creates the *OP part number if it does not exist. However, It will not have any price/cost data so most people have this set up in advance to insert this data.

Hi John!
Just checked the date issue on Standalone ERP8 and the required date on the OP is effected by the backsceduling but just as Mark stated the quantity is taken from the WO. I'll try and find some time to finish the testing for the quantity upload. Got to agree with Mark though this is an area which is usually hacked by clients to get it working exactly as they like....

Best regards

Peter

Regarding the dates on PO's, you might also want to check out SAR # 6274301. We found that if we had multiple outside operations on the same WO, that only one date was being used. This SAR addresses this issue so that it uses the WO Routing date for the PO date.
