Assembly Work Orders
A work order is associated with a stock assembly. You must first create a stock assembly and then you may optionally raise a work order for that assembly. To create a stock assembly select from the main menu: Section|Assembly Manager|File|Add. Enter a title for the assembly for your own reference purposes and press OK. You will then be presented with the work order screen.
Work or 'production' orders may be raised for suppliers where special work or 'out plant' needs to be performed on your assembly. You may enter supplier details, reference and date information, as well as special work instructions for suppliers. It is then possible to print a work order for the task or tasks to be performed.
For example, you may be fabricating tin sheds but do not treat the steel used in the assembly. This task is performed by a third-party supplier. In this case you could raise a work order for the assembly for the treatment of the steel.
Raising a Work Order
To raise a work order fill in the details of the supplier, any applicable dates, and other relevant reference information. Then press the button. A number will then be generated for the work order. At this stage you may then press the button to produce a work order.
