WO-L-C  Print Work Center Backlog

Purpose of Program

Use this report to print a schedule of open routing sequences by work center.  This report is usually run daily and serves as a prioritized work schedule for each work center.  The report offers a slightly different format for outside processing work centers and shows if any purchase orders have been issued or not for the outside processing to be performed.

General Program Operation

A variety of selection criteria are available to limit the report to a range of work orders.  You may select from/thru ranges of work centers, work orders, item numbers, machines, work order status codes, priority codes, classification codes, and scheduled finished dates.

All sequences in a work order after the first one begin with a starting quantity of zero.  When work is completed in one sequence, the start quantity for the next sequence gets updated by the quantity completed.  Sequences with a start quantity have parts available to be worked on; sequences with a start quantity of zero are those with which  parts have not yet arrived, and therefore they cannot be worked on.  If you answer N to Include Sequences with no Start Qty?, you can confine this report only to work orders that can physically be worked on.  If you answer Y, all work orders will be printed whether they can be worked on or not.  The report will be sorted by priority code and by finish date within priority code.
