--- title: "Work Centre Completions" canonical: "https://kb.myframeworks.com.au/space/PROSTIXV48DOC/31103135/Work%20Centre%20Completions" format: markdown --- Goal: In this lesson you will learn how to key the completion details for a selected work centre and job. While keying these details, you can also enquire on the job status, job diary and technical specifications for a job. Steps: 1. From the 'Main Menu' select options - 'Production Scheduling' - 'Job Processing' - 'Work Centre Completions' . 2. The first screen displays a list of available work centres. 3. Select the required work centre and the next screen displays a list of all job deliveries that have a Production Scheduled for the selected work centre. Complete: the date on which work was completed. All work centres should be completed before completing the job. If a workcentre completion is reversed and the original period is now closed, the reversal will be posted to the current period. Owner: the name of the person in charge of this work centre task. Pr: key a two-digit priority code to indicate the sequence in which the jobs are to be performed. You may allocate a time that the work for this work centre and job is required to be completed as a way of prioritising jobs. For example you may use 7 for 7am and 19 for 7pm. Date Req: This field refers to the date by which production for the selected job is to be completed for the selected work centre. This date may have been calculated automatically by the system from the job delivery date and the information keyed in the work centre master file. For more information, refer to the section under File Maintenance for Work Centres . Status: refers to the production status of a job for the selected work centre. If a Manufacture stop code has been assigned to a work centre, all relevant jobs will be held until the necessary work centre completions have been performed and the word HOLD will appear in the Status field for each job. There may be more than one work centre responsible for holding up production of a job and the status of a job is detailed in the following section. For more information on stop codes, refer to the section under File Maintenance for Work Centres. PICK Rdy: displays 'yes' if the picking slip is ready to print. If you wish to stop the printing of Picking Slips until specific work centre tasks have been completed you can activate the 'OrderComp' flag in System Tailoring by setting the default value to 'no'. This way, every order has to be individually cleared as being ready for production or picking. The order can be set ready for production or picking in the Job Processing Order Maintenance section. For more information see the Sales Order Processing Manual under the section Processing the Order and Other Options. Slip Prtd: This field will show if Picking Slips have been printed. 4. To enquire on the work centres that are responsible for holding up production of a job, select the required job/delivery and press/click (Status). All work centres related to the selected job that has not been completed and has a stop code associated with them will be displayed. 5. To change the completion details of a work centre, select the required work centre and job then press/click . The next screen will display the fields that can be changed using this program: Date Complete: key the date on which work was completed and press/click to update the schedule for the selected job and work centre as being Completed. If a workcentre completion is reversed and the original period is now closed, the reversal will be posted to the current period. Owner: key the name of the person in charge of this work centre task. Priority: key a two-digit priority code to indicate the sequence in which the jobs are to be performed. You may allocate a time that the work for this work centre and job is required to be completed as a way of prioritising jobs. For example you may use 7 for 7am and 19 for 7pm. PICK Rdy: key 'yes' if the picking slip is ready to print. 6. You can maintain the Job Diary for a selected job/delivery by pressing/clicking the (J/Diary) key. 7. To Add a new entry to the job diary , press/click , key the diary notes and press/click to save. 8. To Change an existing job diary entry , highlight the entry, press/click , and key the changes to the diary notes. 9. You may maintain the Technical Specifications for a Customer by selecting the job and pressing/clicking (Specs). Technical specification details are customer specific information about how a customer would like his job processed, e.g. a customer may prefer to have steel lintels in the wall frames rather than timber lintels. For more information, refer to the section on Technical Specifications . 10. The next screen will display technical specifications that have already been entered. 11. To Add a new technical specification press/click . 12. To Change an existing technical specification , highlight the required entry and press/click . 13. To Delete a technical specification , highlight the required entry and press/click . 14. If sub work centres have been defined for a work centre, you will be able to complete the sub work centre details. To allocate quantities to sub work centres, select the work centre, highlight the required job delivery and press/click . The screen will display sub-centres that have been defined for the selected job: Grade: key the grade of timber to be used in production. This field is optional as not all work centres involve the use of timber e.g credit check. Sub Work Centres (1-5): key the quantities to be manufactured by each sub work centre. Comments: key any comments. Comments will only be held for enquiry. 15. The Transport Diary for the selected job may be maintained at this point if required. For more information, refer to the section on Transport Diary 16. If the manufacturing plant is linked to any third party software such as a CAD program, the following screen will allow you to import information from a file in the third party software to eliminate the need to re-key any information that may be imported from that file. 17. The next screen will allow you to import the components of the work centre from, for example a Truss Detailing Software package. To import work centre details from a file, key 'yes' and press/click . The process of importing a file will depend on the third party software linked to your ProStix system. Printing Picking Slips When the System Tailoring Flag ' SOPDelAll' is set to ' yes ' there is an option Mass P/Slip in Work Centre Completions to mass print picking slips. Multiple jobs can be selected/deselected by using the . Only jobs for the work centre that have not had a picking slip printed will be available for selection. The screen shows whether the jobs have credit approval and whether they have been allocated a Bay Location yet. The system prevents picking slips from being printed without credit approval. When the delivery does not have a Bay Location the prompt for the Delivery Location will be displayed and if the location is left blank the location will be auto-allocated. After allocation the location will be updated on the screen before printing so the operator will know before printing if they have accidentally allocated the wrong bay location. With System Tailoring Flag 'SOPDelAll' set to 'yes' both the Mass P/Slip and the P/Slip options will be available. With System Tailoring Flag 'SOPDelAll' set to 'no' neither the Mass P/Slip nor the P/Slip option will be available. When a job delivery is marked for printing, if the job has not been authorised a message appears for Mass P/Slip and P/Slip to remind the operator why this job can't yet be printed. This behaviour is also based on a flag 'OrdAppro' which basically states that you can print a picking slip if not approved. Review: You can now: Key the completion details for a selected work centre and job.
