This exercise takes you through the creation, release, receipt, and closing of work orders.
1 Use Forecast Worksheet Maintenance (22.2) to create independent demand for item 02001 at site 10-201 by entering a forecast for it. Enter a forecast quantity of 1000 per week for four weeks starting next week.

3 Use MRP Detail Inquiry (23.16) to view the planned material requirement for item 02001 at site 10-201.
4 Use Planned Work Order Approval (23.10) to approve the first order due next week.
On the first screen, set default approve to No and include line manufactured items. On the work order selection screen, select the first work order and approve it.
5 Use Work Order Release/Print (16.6) to release the firm planned order you just approved.
6 Use Work Order Component Check (16.5) see if there are any shortages for the component items.
7 Use Receipts - Unplanned (3.9) to create balances for each component by entering unplanned receipts for them at location 010, site 10-201:
• 1 RL of item 62050
• 1000 EA of item 90031
Note: This program is normally used at implementation time and seldom thereafter. We are using it here to simulate receipts.
8 Use Work Order Component Check (16.5) to verify that the shortages have been made up.
9 Rerun work order release using Work Order Release/Print (16.6).
10 Using Work Order Component Issue (16.10), issue the work order components.
11 Use Work Order Receipt (16.11) to receive the work order without closing it. We can close the work order manually later.
12 Use Work Order Maintenance (16.1) to manually close the work order. Change the work order status from R to C.
13 Use Work Order Accounting Close (16.21) to close the accounting for the work order.
14 Use Work order Maintenance (16.1) to select another of your MRP planned orders. Change its status to R. This action manually releases the order.
15 Use Work Order Receipt Backflush (16.12) to receive the work order quantity and backflush the components for this order.
