Work Order

SSA Warehouse Management - 4000 Work Order User Guide 1

Work Order

SSA Warehouse Management 4000 Work Order is designed to operate within

warehouses that add value to existing Commodities, or combine component

Commodities into finished goods or sub-assemblies. Operations are typically outlined

and controlled by Work Orders. SSA Warehouse Management 4000 Work Order

was initially designed to support light manufacturing operations, but can also be used

to control any operations that expend components to create goods to be shipped or

sold.

Work Orders can be manually generated using the GUI interface, or by interfacing with

an outside system used to keep the flow of work ahead of the demand for finished

goods.

The Work Order module allows you to:

Gather components pre-defined to a Bill of Material

Move those components through one or more workstations, each associated

with a work center

Receive final product into inventory

Report Work Order activity through RF

View support documents and reports.

Work Order Functional Processing


Work Order Functional

Processing

To ensure that the pick details are set to picked status, components should be picked

using an RF device. This keeps the pick balance correct (if cycle counted) and

maintains an audit trail in case of problems. The system still allows Work Orderprocessing if this step is not completed. However, it is not recommended that this is

the standard practice.

This section describes how to perform Work Order pick tasks using RF. The following

topics are covered:

Picking Components Using RF1. From the SSA Warehouse Management 4000 RF Main Menu, select

Pick/Shipping. The Picking Tasks (K1) screen displays.

Picking Tasks (K1) Screen

2. Select Pieces/Units. The Pieces (K3) screen displays.

Pieces (K3) Screen

3. Populate the following fields by scanning or typing the information:

LBL#- Container ID

LOC- Location that displays in the door field of the pick list header

4. Press ENTER.

5. Repeat steps 3-4 for all products to be picked.

Note

The pick lists determine which items need to be picked.

Work Order Control/Update (AssemblyOperations)

After picking components, the worker is ready to begin processing the Work Order.

1. From the RF Main Menu select Work Order. The Operation (W1) screen

displays.

Operation (W1) Screen

2. Select Control/Update. The Control/Update (W2) screen displays.

Control/Update (W2) Screen


WO#- Work Order number.

OPER#- Operation number.

ACT- Scan or type one of the following actions:

START Updates the Work Order and operation status fields to In

Process.

COMPLETE Records the completion of any quantity that is finished. This

also specifies an ID to identify the pallet or container.

STATUS Displays the total quantity, completed quantity, and

remaining quantity of the specified operation.

4. Press ENTER.

5. Press ESC to return to the screen.

Note

If an assembler forgets how many units have been completed, the Work

Order number and operation number from the operation sheet can be

scanned. The assembler then scans the STATUS action code, and the

system returns the required information. Refer to screenshot sample below.

As an example, assume a Work Order exists for assembly of 100 units. The Work

Order has three (3) operations. Operations can only finish half of their quantities before

changing pallets. It is assumed that the job for this Work Order has been released and

the components have been properly delivered to the component drop zones. The

following defines the assembler action and how the system responds:

For the first operation, the assembler scans the Work Order number and

operation number from the barcodes provided on the operation sheet. The

assembler also scans the START barcode on the laminated action sheet

(following the example above) and enters the record. The system then

updates the Work Order header and entered operation to In Process.

When the first half of the work is completed, the assembler palletizes the

resulting goods.

The assembler then scans the Work Order number and operation number

from the barcodes provided on the operation sheet. They also scan the

COMPLETE barcode on the laminated action sheet and press enter. The

system provides additional fields for quantity and ID. The assembler keys

in a quantity of 50 and places a generic pallet label on the pallet, scans it,and presses enter. The system updates the operation of the Work Order

that 50 is completed and creates an RF-directed Work Center move task

to the operation complete drop zone (if the appropriate box was checked

on the Work Center Setup window).

The assembler finishes the second pallet containing the final 50.


from the barcodes provided on the operation sheet. The assembler also

scans the COMPLETE barcode on the laminated action sheet and presses

enter. The system provides additional fields for quantity and ID. The

assembler keys in a quantity of 50 and places a new generic pallet label

on the pallet, scans it, and presses enter. The system updates the

operation of the Work Order that all 100 are completed and creates a

second RF-directed Work Center move task to the operation complete

drop zone (if the appropriate box was checked on the work center setup

screen). It also sets the operation status to Complete and ships the

component order associated to the first operation reducing the stock on

those components.

The second assembler does what the first assembler did for the second

operation. The system responds the same as it did for the first operation.

The final assembler for the third and last operation scans the Work Order

number and operation number from the barcodes provided on the

operation sheet. They also scan the START barcode on the laminatedaction sheet that hangs in the Work Center and enters the record. The

system then updates the last operation to In Process.

The assembler then completes the first half of the finished goods and

palletizes the resulting Parent Commodities or finished goods.

The assembler then scans the Work Order number and operation three (3)

from the barcodes provided on the operation sheet. They also scan the

COMPLETE barcode on the laminated action sheet and press enter. The

system provides additional fields for quantity and ID. The assembler keys

in a quantity of 50 and places a generic pallet label on the pallet, scans it,

and presses enter. The system updates the operation of the Work Order

that 50 are completed and will create an RF directed Work Center move

task to the finished goods drop zone (if the appropriate box was checkedon the work center setup screen). It also creates an ITRAN record for the

50 finished goods enabling RF assisted put-away to be used to move the

goods to the best storage location.

The assembler finishes the second pallet containing the final 50.


from the barcodes provided on the operation sheet. The assembler also

scans the COMPLETE barcode on the laminated action sheet and presses

enter. The system provides additional fields for quantity and ID. The

assembler keys in a quantity of 50 and places a new generic pallet label

on the pallet, scans it, and presses enter. The system updates the

operation of the Work Order that all 100 are complete and will create

second RF directed Work Center move task to the finished goods drop

zone (if the appropriate box was checked on the work center setup

screen). It also sets the operation status to Complete and ships the

component order associated to the third operation reducing the stock on

those components. The system then creates a second ITRN record for the

last pallet of 50 so it too can be scanned for putaway to the best storage

location. It also sets the Work Order status to complete and if the global

preference is set to auto-close Work Order = True, it sets the Work Order

status to Closed.
