Using WLT with Advanced Repetitive
The following sections describe the Advanced Repetitive programs affected by WLT changes.
Backflushing WIP Material
Use Backflush Transaction (18.22.13) to report production activity. This program uses five frames to collect WLT information. WLT frames appear and are used only when backflushing operations for WLT‑controlled routings.
Use the WLT frames to record WIP material lot/serial information for the current operation’s input, output, scrap, and reject queues. Use the Destination Work Center and Machine frame to specify where the produced WIP material will be moved. This frame appears only when Move to Next Op is Yes. WLT frames added to Backflush Transaction appear in this order when the corresponding queue is WLT controlled:
• WIP Lot Input Queue Issue Data. See
here.
• Destination Work Center and Machine. See
here.
• WIP Lot Output Queue Receipt Data. See
here.
• WIP Lot Reject Data. See
here.
• WIP Lot Scrap Data. See
here.
Reporting Run and Setup Labor
WLT adds the Labor WIP Lots frame to Run Labor Transaction (18.22.14) and Setup Labor Transaction (18.22.15). Any run or setup labor you report for WLT‑controlled operations is associated with the WIP lot/serials you indicate in this frame.
Use WIP Lot Convert Trans Report (3.22.13.15) or Operation Trans Detail Inquiry (18.22.4.2) to review the labor associated with any WIP lot/serial.
Reworking Rejected Material
Use Rework Transaction (18.22.17) to move previously rejected WLT-controlled material back into production. Use the WIP Lot Rework Data frame to indicate which lot/serials were reworked. The reworked WIP material is moved to the location you indicate in To Operation and To Queue in the work center and packing list you specify in the Destination Work Center and Machine frame.
Scrapping Reject Material
Use Scrap Transaction (18.22.18) to scrap or remove WIP quantities from any queue of an operation without backflushing. If you scrap quantities from a WLT‑controlled queue, use the WLT frames to specify the lot/serials of the WIP material you are scrapping. Depending on which queue you are scrapping material from, these WLT frames can appear:
• WIP Lot Input Queue Scrap Data. See
here.
• WIP Lot Output Queue Scrap Data. See
here.
• WIP Lot Reject Queue Scrap Data. See
here.
The WIP QOH at each queue is reduced by the quantity scrapped at the indicated work center and machine. Additionally, the quantity scrapped is added to the cumulative scrapped quantity for the indicated lot/serials.
Adjusting WIP Quantities for WLT‑Controlled Queues
Use WIP Adjust Transaction (18.22.21) to adjust quantities at an operation’s input, output, or reject queues. The current queue balances display when you run the program.
When adjusting quantities for WLT‑controlled operations, Reason Code and the three queue quantity fields are not editable. Use the WLT frames to specify adjustments to QOH balances for the WIP lot/serials in each queue. You can create entries for new lot/serials and optionally enter reason codes as needed. One WLT frame is used for each queue.
The three WLT frames appear in this order:
• WIP Lot Input Queue Adjust Data
• WIP Lot Output Queue Adjust Data
• WIP Lot Reject Queue Adjust Data
