Defining WIP Parameters Trigger: Concept

WIP parameters define modes of operation and default values affecting various Work in Process functions. You define one set of WIP parameters per organization. Parameters are defined in several categories. Discrete parameters set discrete manufacturing defaults. Move Transaction parameters effect move transactions. Intraoperation Steps determine the steps that are enabled in routings. The Outside Processing category effects outside processing functionality. Scheduling parameters are used to include resource factors in scheduling calculations. In this topic, you will define parameters using the Work in Process Parameters page.

Defining WIP Parameters Step 3. Action The Work in Process Parameters page enables you to define default settings in WIP for transactions.

Step 4.

Action The Discrete tabbed region affects discrete manufacturing; it is the default display. The Default Lot Number Type parameter determines how lot numbers are assigned to discrete jobs if you are using lot control functionality.

Defining WIP Parameters Step 10. Action Material parameters are used for material transactions. Include Component Yield controls if component yield is factored into component quantities during material transactions.

Step 11.

Action Lot Selection Method determines how lot controlled assembly pull and component pull component items are selected during backflush transactions. Click the Lot Selection Method option.
