Issue Components Automatically
Explanation
This activity is used to issue material automatically for a shop order. When this
activity is performed, the system will select the inventory location. During the
automatic issue of parts, the supply codes relating to the shop order material
lines are taken into consideration. If the supply code is Inventory Order, only
the standard inventory will be available for issue. If the supply code is
Project Inventory, only the project inventory for the project connected to the
shop order will be available for issue. If components are available, the parts
belonging to the connected project activity will be issued.
You can issue material for an entire shop order, perform a partial issue or
only issue reserved material. These options can be combined as per your
requirements.
The value in the Reserve/Issue Method field of the shop order material line is considered when automatically reserving/issuing material. This value determines how to reserve/issue material to the shop order.
For operation connected material, the option selected in the Outside Reserve/Backflush at the Work Center window is considered when automatically reserving material.
This value determines how the reserve/backflush of material is allowed from locations other than work center inbound locations.
If the Shared Location check box is selected in the Location tab of the Work Center window,
material can be reserved/issued to any demand.
If not selected, only the material demands from operations that are connected to the work center will be allowed to reserve/issue material
from this location.
Note: If the catch unit is enabled for the part, it will only be
possible to issue components automatically once the entire quantity in the
inventory location is issued. If the entire quantity in the inventory location
is not issued, a message will appear requesting you to enter the catch unit. In
such situations you need to perform the issue of components manually. For more
information refer to the online help file: Issue Components Manually.
If this is the first issue of material for the selected
assembly shop order, the system will automatically run the Perform Preliminary
Conformance Check function, thereby creating (or updating) the expected on-log
with the structure for the
level below. For more information on this function, refer the online help file:
Perform
Preliminary Conformance Check.
This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an
administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have
to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally,
whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log
is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.
Prerequisites
- All disassembly and repair orders connected to the
assembly shop order must have been completely received.
- Likewise, all
disposition orders connected to the disassembly order in a shop visit must
have been completely received.
(If an order on the level below is not finished, some serials may not be
reserved. This may cause the expected on-log to be updated with incomplete
information.)
- The shop order must have been released and there must be enough
unreserved material in stock. Note: it is not necessary to reserve
the shop order.
System Effects
The following system effects will take place as a result of this activity:
- Components are issued from inventory.
- Each shop material allocation row receives the status
Issued.
- The status of the shop order will be set to Started.
- The system will create WIP postings (Work In Progress postings) for the
components that have been issued.
- The system will locate and issue components according to the FIFO
algorithm (First In First Out algorithm).
- If the shop order was created from Project Delivery, the project
delivery structure will be updated with the quantity issued.
- If the catch unit is enabled for the part, the system will update the
Catch Qty Issued field in the
Shop Order/Material tab with
the corresponding catch unit value.
- When automatically issuing material for a shop order with a connected
supply pegging, the issue will reduce the pegged quantity by the same
quantity that was issued. Note: If more than one supply is pegged to
the same demand, you will be prompted to manually adjust peggings prior to
performing the issue of material.
- The expected on-log is created [or updated] with
the structure for the level below.
- Log entries are generated each time the Perform
Preliminary Conformance Check function is run (i.e., either manually or
automatically). These entries can be viewed in the
MRO Shop
Order/Prelim. Conformance Log tab,
CAMRO Interim Order
Structure/Prelim. Conformance Log tab or the
Preliminary Conformance Log window.

Procedure
- Open the Shop Order, Shop Orders
or MRO Shop Order
window.
- Search for the record(s).
- In the Shop Orderr or MRO Shop Orderr
window, right-click, point to Material Actions and click Issue.
In the Shop Orders window,
select the record(s) right-click, point to Material Actions and click
Issue.
- If you want to issue only reserved material, select the Issue All Reserved Material check box under Criteria
for Issue.
- If you want to issue all material for the shop order, including non-reserved material, select the Also Issue Nonreserved
Material check box. When you select this check box, the Issue All Reserved Material check box is selected
automatically.
- If you want to perform a partial issue for the shop order, enter the quantity of the parent part that you want to
manufacture in the Parent Quantity to Issue field. The specified quantity is issued first from reserved material, and
then any remaining quantity is issued from non-reserved material. To issue all material, leave this field blank.
- Click OK.
