Road Map: Material Usage Maintenance

Use the Material Usage Maintenance (MUA) program to add a component to a manufacturing order, change component quantities, pick selected components, substitute components, and close all open components. See Background for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs in this sequence:

  • Manufacturing Order Maintenance (MIM) to enter a manufacturing order and optionally obligate and pick components.

OR

Requisition Maintenance (IRM) to create a requisition and release a manufacturing order.

OR

Consolidate Manufacturing Requisitions (MOCR) to release multiple manufacturing requisitions to create a single manufacturing order.

OR

Planned Order Maintenance (MOP) to enter planned orders, and then Order Release Preparation (MPR) and Order Release Selection (MRR) to release the orders.

OR

Sales Order Maintenance (OE) to enter a sales order and generate a manufacturing order for:

    • A make-to-order item (the Item code field in the Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) program that matches the Item code for immediate supply option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Inventory Control Options))

    • A subassembly (the Item code field in the Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) program for the item and its components matches the Subassembly release type option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options)

    • A configured product that requires assembly

    • An item you make is not in inventory, the order entry operator clicks Manufacture in manual obligation mode, and the Disable mfg order firewall option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options) is selected

You may also have run this program:

  • Shop Paper Print Queue (MSPPM) to process the print queue.

OR

Shop Paper Print (MSP) to print or reprint shop paper for a specific manufacturing order.

Note
The Shop paper release time option in the System Options Maintenance (XM) program (Manufacturing Options) determines when you can print shop paper. If set to S, you must create a shipment (pick components).

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Inventory Control Options) to set the Method for auto-obligation, Default warehouse for LWM transactions, and LWM default bin location options.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options) to select the Component reference user label for the enterprise and the Shop paper release time, Backflush components by operation seq?, Backflush comps not attached to oper?, and Substitutions allowed on mfg orders? options for your manufacturing branch.

  • Shop Calendar Maintenance (XCM) to set the shop calendar that forms the time basis for all manufacturing order processing and master scheduling, but not for sales, shipping, purchasing, or receiving.

  • Bill of Material Maintenance (MPS) to enter a bill of material.

  • Order Change Reason Codes Maintenance (TRCM) to set up codes to explain the reason for a due date change.

  • (Optional) User Field Maintenance (XMO) to set up user fields for this program.

  • Audit Trail Maintenance (XAT) to activate system logging of entries and changes.

  • Output Device Maintenance (XDM) to set up the output devices that you plan to use.

  • Date-Output Device Maintenance (ZE) to select your default output device and set whether you can override that device.

After you run this program

You will most likely run these programs in this sequence:

  1. (Conditional) Manufacturing Order Picking Selection (MSS) to obligate and pick all required components or sets of components.

OR

Picking Confirmation (MPK) or Secured Picking (SMPK) to pick all required components, sets of components, or selected components.

  1. WIP Movement (WIPM) to enter quantities completed, scrap parents or components, and update labor costs.

OR

Labor Entry (LLE) to enter actual hours, overtime hours, pieces produced, and pieces scrapped by employee.  

OR

Labor Import (LEI) to import regular and overtime hours, good pieces, and scrapped parents from an ASCII file.

  1. Receiver Maintenance (IRC) to receive the items into your branch, or into your stockroom if you are using direct-to-stock receiving.

    AND conditionally

    Receiving and Inspection (IRI) to enter inspection results for items that require inspection.

  2. (Conditional) Rejected Material Disposition (MRB) to select the disposition of items rejected during inspection.

You may also run these programs:

  • Material Usage Inquiry (MUQ) to display components on a manufacturing order.

  • Component Cost Inquiry (MCI) to display the standard cost and cost-to-date of components on a manufacturing order.

  • Audit Trails (ATR) to print an audit trail report.
