Work Order Entry Status Codes

 Important: If you are using work order for product cutting, use the Product Cut Queue to review the orders and change the status. Orders with cut products display in view-only mode through Work Order Entry.

Use when...

you create a work order. The system assigns this status.

you are ready to commit inventory and queue the warehouse to pick the inventory for shipment or processing. The system displays the process's assigned generation number to the right of the status and recalculates the cost of the outgoing material.

Important: Standard availability rules apply to work order products. If you change the status to In Process and a quantity will overcommit products, the system displays a warning. You must be authorized to overcommit inventory.

the work order step is finished and ready to be reconciled in A/P, if setup and processing costs apply.

If the work order step is in a closed accounting period, you cannot change the status to Complete. Run the Change Posting Date For Inprocess Work Orders driver to move it to the current accounting period, and then you can change the status. If you do not have this driver on your system, contact Eclipse Advanced Technologies Support.

Note: Once A/P reconciles the step costs, you cannot change information on the work order for that step.

you cancel the process.

the document you are working in is a template to use for creating work orders.

the quantity exceeds the amount on-hand to sell.

Important: A warning displays when using this status. The purchasing agent should be notified when using a Delete status because the system does not suggest on products in a Delete status. For more information about product status, see Product Status Codes in Product Maintenance.
