Moving in process MO's

sheila-murphy

I am looking to see what others have done to solve for a requirement around moving an in process manufacturing order to report against a separate operation. For various reasons in my current solution, users would like to maintain and existing MO that has had partial production reported against it. The original equipment or WorkCentre that is associated to that MO (and sttp) breaks down, and they would like to move production to another WorkCentre without creating a new MO. There are different cost components associated to each of the operations and they are reported automatically method 1

Previously I have done this, we simply added another WorkCentre as an additional operation to the MO, and reported against that operation. operation reporting was manual in that install though and costing across the original and new WorkCentre were the same. I don't think* this method is appropriate as the operation will be reported based on the sttp of the order.

Curious to see if other members have encountered similar requirements, and looking to brainstorm creative ways to solve.

Thank you.

I am not sure if i understood completely your request. We have cases where we change the operation in the "running MO" and we add maybe more operation and more material. The production team will report against those new entries (also if costs are different from prior). This will just create a variance for our accounting and analysis.

In other cases we also go back and correct the PDS002 if we realize that it was an error or that "it is a new way" of process the production.

Other times we adjust first the structure and then use the program that align again the production order to the new structure.

It depends from case to case.

Is this your question? or you have something else in mind? I am happy to discuss in a Teams meeting if you want elisabetta.venezia@pfaudler.com
