Discrete Orders
The QAD EE legacy co-\by-product capabilities are only available for discrete work orders. The workbenches let you schedule both discrete and repetitive orders on a production line. This means that when you schedule with the workbenches, you leverage the co-/by- product functionality in a repetitive environment because the workbenches let you schedule discrete joint order sets on a production line.
If you use the workbenches for repetitive scheduling, but require co-/by-product scheduling functions, you should consider whether scheduling with discrete orders meets your requirements. When you consider this change, you should keep in mind these additional changes:
• To backflush, you must use Work Order Receipt Backflush (16.12) and Work Order Operation Backflush (16.19) for backflushing instead of advanced repetitive Backflush Transaction (18.22.13).
• There are costing differences between discrete and repetitive orders.
