Update Works Order / Create New Stock Record Maintenance Screens

When entering works order details the option is available, subject to configuration, to create a new stock record. When creating a new stock record Bill of Materials uses its own separate screen design. As these are separate screen layouts they can be ‘left behind’ when amendments are made to the main entry screens. New in Release 6.5 you can set the BOM system to use the standard stock maintenance screens in preference to the applications ‘internal’ screens.

In addition the Works Order entry screens can be configured to offer different options when updating a works order as opposed to adding a works order.Often these screens are configured identically resulting in amendments being made in two separate places. New in Release 6.5 you can set the BOM system to use the same screen as the add action when updating a works order.

Installation

Application User Facilities

To enable the ‘create new’ options to use the standard stock maintenance screens new options have been added within the Application User Facilities for Bill of Materials. To update select Installation from the main menu followed by Application Manager and then Application User Facilities. Select the Bill of Materials application and then the option Enter/Amend Orders before selecting the Create New Stock/Record procedure.

Use the same screen(s) as for adding new orders – set to enable the system to use the standard maintenance for both adding and updating works orders, leave blank to continue to use the separate update screen. Once confirmed, if set, the system returns you to the menu or, if left blank, to the screen design for the update screen.
