Pack Create by WO

Use Pack Create by WO (16.15.2) to create packs and print labels based on work orders.

The system upgrades serial IDs booked for the work order to assign pack code and standard pack quantity. When the work order is linked with a sales order line, you cannot create packs for it in this function; you can only upgrade booked serial IDs.

Note: You can use Pack Create by WO to create packs and print labels for PO subcontract lines. You do this by creating packs for the corresponding discrete WO.

Use the frames to select the work order, enter receipt data, and enter pack information.

In the WO frame, enter WO information. The Item, Item Description, Site, BOM/Formula Code, Production Line, Open Quantity, and UM fields are display only and come from the work order.

In the Receipt Data frame, you enter lot/serial and reference information that you plan to use in WO receipt. You can still enter different lot/serial and reference data during the WO receipt.

The system displays serial creation information for the WO in the Serial ID Summary frame. The system displays the number of serial IDs required for this WO. It is determined by quantity ordered and serial hierarchy definition, including components that are determined by BOM explosion logic. The system also displays the number of serial IDs associated with this WO.

In the Pack Data frame, you enter pack data.

• When no booked serial IDs are associated with the current WO, the system creates New packs according to the pack information in this frame.

• When there are serial IDs already booked for this WO, the system assigns pack information to booked serial IDs first, and updates the Booked serial IDs to New serial IDs. If booked serial IDs are fewer than the specified packs and the WO is not linked with an SO, the system also creates New packs using the pack data.

Enter the work order number for which serial IDs have been booked or are to be created.

Enter the work order ID for which serial IDs have been booked or are to be created.

Enter the lot/serial number to use in the WO receipt. This field uses the same logic as the QAD EE WO receipt functions to obtain default values.

Enter the pack code for which the system assigns to booked serial ID or creates for serial IDs. The default is from the lowest-level serialized pack of the BOP structure that is determined by item (BOM), site, address (blank), and transaction type (RCT-WO).

You can modify the pack code. An assembly pack code is allowed. Blank is allowed when serial control of the item is set to M in Item Master Maintenance. When Pack Code is blank, the system considers it as item serialization. In this situation, the system ignores the pack quantity and UM.

In most cases, the pack code is the unit pack. However, if serial control of the unit pack is set to Never in Pack Code Maintenance, the system looks for the upper level whose serial control is other than Never.

Note: When determining BOP code from item packaging records, BOM has a higher priority than the item. In other words, when alternate BOMs are in use, the system still follows the matching logic described in Item Packaging Maintenance; however, BOM codes have a higher priority than item.

Enter the number of packs you want the system to create. You cannot enter a negative number. When the work order is linked with a sales order line, you cannot enter a number that is greater than the number of booked serial IDs.

When booked serial IDs are associated with the WO, the system tries to update booked serial IDs first.

• When the booked serial IDs are not associated with any SO line, and their quantity is less than the specified number of packs, the system creates New serial IDs. The number of created serial IDs equals:

• When the number of booked serial IDs is greater than the number of packs, the system updates the first N (number of packs) booked serial IDs with the stage set to New and adds pack code, pack quantity, UM, lot/serial, and reference. The system displays a message indicating that serial IDs are updated.

The default is based on the open quantity and quantity per of the lowest-level serialized pack in the BOP structure. When serial control of the unit pack is set to Never, the system multiplies the quantity per of each level whose Serial Control is set to Never.

Enter the expected quantity that the pack holds. The default is from the quantity per of the lowest-level serialized pack of the BOP structure. You cannot enter a negative number.

When serial control of the unit pack is set to Never, the system multiplies the quantity per of each level whose serial control is set to Never; however, you can modify it.

Enter the UM of the content the pack holds. The default is from the item UM. When you specify an assembly pack code, the value you enter here must be a pack UM.
