Work Order Status are:
Status 1: This is a Materials Requirments Planning (MRP) planned Work Order. All Work Orders generated by MRP begin at Status 1. MRP generates planned supply Work Orders as needed to satisfy the demand. MRP planned Work Orders are generated using demand and the MRP Policy setting on the Inventory Commodity Code or the overridden values on the Inventory Item Master.
NOTE Work Orders in Status 1 are replanned by MRP. During each MRP run, Work Orders in Status 1 are deleted at the beginning of each run, then replanned as needed. MRP also plans a new Work Order for items with new demand entered since the last planning run.
Status 2: Firm status. Work Orders in Status 2 are controlled and managed by the Planner. Manually created Work Orders begin at Status 2.
NOTE MRP will not delete or replan these orders. Changes to demand since the previous MRP run will be handled using new Work Orders and/or Action Messages.
The Planner uses the MRP action messages and the MRP Summary and Detailed Inquiries as inputs to make decisions about the actions, if any, to be taken on this Work Order. Work Orders that are Status 2 through 8 are scheduled by the Work Order Scheduling function.
Status 3: Allocation Attempted. When allocations are active there is an Allocation process which attempts to allocate components. When this Allocate process is attempted, the status is updated to Status 3, whether or not all components were successfully allocated. If all components were successfully allocated the 'Fully Allocated' checkbox is set to True (checked).
Status 4: Released. The Work Order is considered released to production and the picklist can now be printed.
Status 5: Picklist Generated. When the picklist records are generated, the system (not the User) will automatically change the Work Order status to ‘5’.
IMPORTANT The user can short close the Standard and Outside Operation Work Orders when the Work Order Status is '5 - Picklist Generated' or '7 - Partial Receipt'. For more details, refer How to short close a Work Order?
Status 7: Partial Receipt. Receiving the item being produced on the Work Order in less than the full Work Order quantity will automatically change the Work Order status to ‘7’.
Status 8: Complete. The Work Order quantity is completely accounted for, either by being fully received into inventory or by a combination of receipts into inventory and scrap. When this occurs, the system automatically changes the Work Order status to 8. The user may not manually change the status to 8, although Close Short, described above, will change the status to 8. Labor and component transactions may continue to be performed.
Status 9: Closed status. When the Work Order reaches status ‘8’, a new button appears in the Work Order header titled Close Work Order. Selecting this button causes the variance financial journal entries to be generated and brings the value of the Work Order Work in Progress valuation to zero. No further transactions can be done to the Work Order. A Work Order in a Status 9 will not display in Work Order pick lists, Time and Quantity Bookings options, or Planning applications.
