– Number of digits limited for Order and Line numbers– Limited to 8 digits total (4/4, 5/3, 6/2, 7/1)– 9th digit reserved of SO/Job number prefix (Defaults to “C”)– E.g. Parameter setting below would create SO/Job of

PCCCCCCLL where P is the prefix, CCCCCC is the order number and LL is the line number:

COP Number to Shop Order/Job• Set SO/Job # to COP Order & Line Number

– Order number odometer will roll back to 1 based on number of digits set for Order number

– If enter too many lines will get warning– Limit only enforced for Non-stocked, Manufactured Parts

COP Number to Shop Order/Job• Set SO/Job # to COP Order & Line Number

– All lines sent will have unique SO/Job # number– “Next” Suffix NOT checked in Order Review

– If shop/job number to be assigned breaks COP Parameter rules then shop order number is left blank (and will error out)

COP Number to Shop Order/Job• Customer Order Interfaces

– eCommerce, eBiz and EDI updated to report rule exceptions:• Header – “COP Order header number is outside the auto job

number parameter rules.”• Line – “COP Order Line number is outside the auto job number

parameter rules and item is non-stock and manufactured”– Every attempt is made to create order even with errors

Implementation Considerations• If setting parameter to SO/Job # to COP Order & Line

Number– Query existing shop orders and jobs to see if there are any

current number overlaps– Review order volume to see if order number of digits is too

limiting– Review maximum number of lines to see if line number of

digits is too limiting– Review order review parameters– Develop procedure for exceptions to order numbering

rules.

COP Number to Shop Order/Job• Set SO/Job # to COP Order & Line Number

– Will want to set order review parameter to “manually” assign shop order number so this can be maintained• Order sources 20 and 30

Shop Floor “Real-Time” backflushBug ID 1983

Shop Floor “Real-Time” backflush• The SF posting will no longer have a second pass.

The generation of auto-issue and auto-close transactions are now done via UPDLB when the shop order is updated.

• The UPDLB subroutine is called from Shop Floor, Data Collection, and eProduction (not eProduction Lite) when writing a shop floor transaction. The Shop Floor transactions can be for SHPTRX, SHPEX1, DCSFTX, or SF_SQL_SHPTRX files.

Shop Floor “Real-Time” backflush• The changes to UPDLB are:

– Determine which file we are working with (based on calling routine).

– Update the S/O for the original trx.– Generate Release trx for Blanket trx (labor trx only).– Generate cell trx for post-to-cell operations.– Generate auto-issue trx for countpoint operations.– Generate auto-close trx for “Y” countpoint operation.

Shop Floor “Real-Time” backflush• Changes to UPDLB continued:

– Process operation trx that were generated.• Update the S/O.• Generate Cell trx.• Generate auto-issue trx.

– Process Material trx that were generated.• Update the S/O.• Update inventory.

– Process Auto-Close trx that were generated.• If an error occurs during any of the above, the

process will not continue further.

Shop Floor “Real-Time” backflush• Since all of the above happens at transaction entry, a

new flag is set/updated and a new key was added to determine how far this transaction got in this “pre-post” process.

• During the actual posting stream, the new post flag is checked and, if one section was not totally finished, it will reverse out any “half-baked” trx and restart beginning with that section.

• Note: this same routine (UPDLB) is called during transaction entry and posting.

• MDC (when we bring back the labor transaction,
