  • 1.  SO quantity changes (affecting WT...)

    Posted 08-08-2022 17:02
    We have a customer running PM (the ScanCo version for now) which we upgraded from WO a couple years ago.  At the time we had daily automation for creating WO from new SO (custom report to make a CSV, imported), which we converted to the new version.  The fun part: we include up to 3 layers of components (for a limited list of BM recipes).

    Now, the customer is complaining about the manual work involved in managing SO edits (additions, quantity changes, deletions) as they relate to Work Tickets.  This can't be a unique situation.  Does anyone have any tips on how they approach SO edits related to production?

    So customer places an order and Work ticket is created via your custom report/CSV\VI.  Then some time later, customer changes sales order quantity and they are looking for an easier way to flow the changes to the work ticket?  Nothing comes to mind.  Is this a frequent occurrence?  Maybe they should be looking at Operations Management.  Sales order and Work ticket are integrated.  Changes to the sales order flow to the work ticket flow automatically.  @John Hoyt Is my thinking correct?.

    Yes, @Jeff Schwenk, I agree with your comment. Work Order and PM were intended to be make to stock systems. OM is designed to be make to order. When justifying the additional cost of OM, the customer needs to identify what the current procedure is costing them.​
