Reviewing, Printing, and Releasing Joint Orders
To review joint work orders, use Joint Work Order Inquiry (16.3.13). Orders can be specified by item number, work order number, work order ID, BOM/Formula code, due date, site, or any combination of these.
To print a joint order set, use Work Order Release/Print (16.6; 16.30 for enhanced .NET UI version) or Multiple Work Order Release/Print (16.7). Both programs release the joint order set, provided one order in the set is selected for processing. In addition to standard work order picklists and routings, you can also print documents listing the co-products and by‑products expected for a base process. You can print the list of co-products and by-products before the picklist or after the routing operations.
• When a joint order’s status changes to Released and the associated base process has a component that is routable (the Pur/Mfg Code for the component item is R), a routable work order is automatically created. When created, the routable work order’s status is Batch.
Routable work orders created from a joint order set use the joint set work order number, but are given a unique suffix. For example, a joint order set with work order number 1234 can create routable work orders 1234-1 and 1234-2.
• When a routable work order is created from a regular work order, the routable work order uses the work order number of the parent, but has a unique work order ID.
To select closed work orders and print summary data on each, use Work Order History Report (16.3.6). You have the option to print bill of material detail or routing detail. To print joint order sets, set Print Co/By-Product Orders to Yes. If Yes, the report displays information for each of the co-product and by-product orders for a base process work order.
To print information for each order related to a base process work order, use Work Order WIP Cost Report (16.3.5; 16.3.29 for enhanced .NET UI version). To print information on items received and scrapped from a joint order set, use Work Order Cost Report (16.3.4; 16.3.28 for enhanced .NET UI version). These reports show the costs for joint order sets once they have been closed in Work Order Accounting Close (16.21).
