Industry Overview
Scenario A
As you prepare to go home for the evening, your production supervisor rushes
into your office wearing a look of panic on his face. The line is down. A critical
part has failed; it is not stocked, and it will take three days to arrive. Another full
day is required to install the part and recalibrate the line. The cost of the repair is

not large -- eight hours of maintenance labor, plus the cost of the part. However,
other costs are significant: lost production time, idle workers, decreased customer
satisfaction, and the potential of losing that new contract. To make matters worse,
the maintenance manager informs you that the part that failed had been due for
maintenance. Had it been maintained properly, it would not have failed. The total
downtime for the planned maintenance would have been two hours.
Scenario B
You manage a large fleet of service vehicles that are used to maintain and install
gas and electric utilities. As a contractor to the largest public utility in the area, you
must keep your costs down and respond to project needs efficiently and
effectively. To keep your fleet in top condition, you have installed a system that
helps you manage the maintenance of all equipment. The system schedules critical
preventive maintenance activities, collects vital information that allows you to
predict problems, helps you deal more efficiently with unscheduled problems, and
captures parts and labor costs. As a result, you have been able to reduce equipment
downtime. When contract volume of your firm grew by 157 percent, you were able
to support it without adding any new equipment. In addition, your repair costs
dropped by 50 percent.
The scenarios above lead to an obvious conclusion. You can spend a small amount
of time and money to prevent problems, or you can spend a large amount of time
and money when problems occur. From an equipment/plant maintenance
perspective, performing preventative maintenance almost always beats the cost of
downtime.
Industry Problems
Most industries have equipment and facilities (buildings) that require some type of
maintenance. Healthcare facilities have medical equipment, backup electricity
generators, and other critical machines. Manufacturing plants have equipment and
facilities that must be operational, often around the clock. Distribution centers
have material-handling equipment, refrigeration systems, and vehicles ranging from
forklifts to trucks and trailers. Construction companies have vehicles, heavy
equipment, and tools that must be maintained and possibly relocated to various
project sites. Even a standard office has copiers, fax machines, and computers that
need regular maintenance to ensure ongoing productivity.
These types of industries have made substantial investments in the equipment and
facilities that are vital for running their businesses. With that in mind, two of the
most important objectives for a company are to:

Industry Overview
Preventive maintenance ensures that equipment is working properly and that the
maintenance performed minimizes downtime and reduces expensive breakdowns.
Preventive maintenance can be based on a variety of parameters such as a specific
date, period of time (for example, every 30 days), distance driven, hours operated,
or volume processed. Initial schedules should be based on manufacturer
recommendations or previous experience with the specific type of equipment. The
intent is to perform maintenance before the equipment breaks down. A “run until
it breaks” attitude is costly. A breakdown can result in associated parts being
ruined and additional repair costs. Unscheduled downtime leaves workers standing
idle and delays production schedules.
Lack of preventive maintenance also affects quality. When a machine is running, its
alignment, degree of precision, or efficiency may be drifting. This results in sub-
standard product or excessive waste. For example, in aggregate production (sand,
gravel, and crushed stone), an out-of-alignment loading device can result in lost
product due to spillage. Poor maintenance can also affect safety. This same spillage
can lead to excessive sand blowing, resulting in potential inhalation health hazards,
damaged equipment, and buried electrical cables. Most companies include safety as
one of their top priorities. Well-maintained equipment means a safer work
environment.

Equipment-Plant Maintenance
Regardless of the maintenance type being performed, the tracking, scheduling, and
management of equipment and facility maintenance can be a daunting task if you
use only a paper system. The main purpose of maintenance management is to
automatically alert you when a maintenance operation must occur, based on a
variety of criteria. A computerized system is key to meet this need. An
unscheduled event or a corrective maintenance action must be tracked. Recurring
problems can help you to identify opportunities to schedule preventive or
predictive maintenance activities. In turn, this allows you to reduce unplanned
downtime and provide the means to plan and perform the right maintenance at the
right time.
Cost Management

Industry Overview
To minimize costs, companies concentrate on several key areas, all of which are
supported by an integrated maintenance system:
The following are examples of typical problems with equipment maintenance, the
business activator that resolves each problem, and the return on investment.

Additional benefits of integration include the reduction of
setup time across multiple disciplines, and labor saved for
data entry duplication. Access to shared information results
in better planning and management. For example, informed
decisions are more likely to occur with respect to
equipment replacement. When information shows that
quarterly maintenance for a motor exceeds the cost of the
motor, you might consider replacing the motor rather than
repairing it.

Equipment master information is the primary data associated with the equipment
in your system and is made up of many equipment masters. You create an
equipment master for each piece of equipment in your system. The equipment
master establishes the basic information about a piece of equipment, such as the
following:
• Identification numbers
• Description
• Category codes
• Account coding
• Dates
• Location
• Status
You must identify every piece of your equipment in the system before you can use
the maintenance features in Equipment/Plant Management. After you create
equipment masters for your equipment, you can use the information to do the

Supplemental Data
You can use supplemental data to record information that is important to your
organization but is not included on the equipment master. Supplemental data is
entirely user defined. You can use columnar and text formats to enter
supplemental data. To prevent users from viewing information for which they are
not authorized, you can also establish security by user identification.
Specification Data
You can use specification data to record and track static information not included
on the equipment master. For example, you might need to store nameplate data to
which you can refer for correspondence regarding warranties.
Message Logs
Use message logs to communicate information such as status and condition about
a piece of equipment. You can associate message logs with equipment to record
operator notes or maintenance problems. You can also attach tickler dates to
maintenance-due messages so that they will appear at specified dates or intervals
based on units such as miles or hours.
Depending on the type of information that you want to maintain, you can use
equipment messages to meet any of your information needs. Use equipment
messages to do the following:

Equipment-Plant Maintenance
If you use Equipment/Plant Maintenance with the Fixed Assets system, the two
systems access the same category code tables. Equipment/Plant Maintenance users
frequently use the first 10 category codes as selection criteria for several tasks, such
as selecting equipment for updating meter readings, updating PM schedules, and so
on. You should reserve as many of the first 10 category codes in the equipment
master as you need for equipment maintenance purposes.
You can use up to three kinds of numbers to identify equipment throughout your
system:
• Equipment number
• Unit number
• Serial number
Every equipment master in your system must include an asset number. You can
also enter unit and serial numbers. You must define which of these numbers is
used as the primary number for identifying equipment in your system. Any
identification number that you assign to a piece of equipment on the equipment
master must be unique throughout your entire system.
You can set up parent and component relationships to group pieces of equipment.
For example, when you create master information, you can identify a building as a
parent of other equipment. One of its components might be an air conditioner. A
component can also be the parent of other equipment. For example, the air
conditioner might be the parent of a number of components, including a motor,
filters, and a compressor. Those components, in turn, might be the parents of still
other components, and so on.

Equipment-Plant Maintenance
Field Explanation
Company A code that identifies a specific organization, fund, entity,
and so on. The company code must already exist in the
Company Constants table (F0010) and must identify a
reporting entity that has a complete balance sheet. At this
level, you can have intercompany transactions.
Note: You can use Company 00000 for default values, such
as dates and automatic accounting instructions. You cannot
use Company 00000 for transaction entries.
................................Form-specific information.................................
The system uses the company number from the parent
master record as a default value for the Company Number
field when you set up parent/component relationships.
Responsible BU An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity
within a business for which you want to track costs. For
example, a business unit might be a warehouse location,
job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed
asset, employee, and so on, for purposes of responsibility
reporting. For example, the system provides reports of
open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business
units to track equipment by responsible department.
Security for this field can prevent you from locating
business units for which you have no authority.
Note: The system uses the job number for journal entries if
you do not enter a value in the AAI table.
................................Form-specific information.................................
If you want the asset or accumulated depreciation business
units to use the default value for the responsible business
unit, the responsible business unit and company number
must be in the same company. You set up the default
business unit on the Fixed Assets Constants form.
Account Number A field that identifies an account in the general ledger. You
can use one of the following formats for account numbers:
• Standard account number (business
unit.object.subsidiary or flexible format)
• Third G/L number (maximum of 25 digits)
• 8-digit short account ID number
• Speed code
The first character of the account indicates the format of
the account number. You define the account format in the
General Accounting Constants program.

Date Acquired The date your company acquired the equipment. If you use
J.D. Edwards Fixed Assets, the system also uses this date as
the date on which to start depreciation for the equipment.
If you want the system to calculate depreciation from a date
other than the date acquired, you can change the start
depreciation date on the Depreciation and Accounting
Values form.
Unit Number An alternate identification code that a company assigns to
assets. This is commonly the number stenciled on the
equipment. You can enter alphanumeric unit numbers up to
12-characters long. You are not required to use a unit
number to identify equipment. Every equipment unit
number must be unique.
Serial Number A 25-character alphanumeric number that you can use as an
alternate asset identification number. You might use this
number to track assets by the manufacturer’s serial number.
You are not required to use a serial number to identify an
asset. Every serial number that you enter must be unique.
Parent Number An identification code for an asset that you can enter in one
of the following formats:
1 Asset number (a computer-assigned, 8-digit,
numeric control number)
2 Unit number (a 12-character alphanumeric field)
3 Serial number (a 25-character alphanumeric field)
Every asset has an asset number. You can use unit number
and serial number to further identify assets as needed.
If this is a data entry field, the first character you enter
indicates whether you are entering the primary (default)
format that is defined for your system, or one of the other
two formats. A special character (such as / or *) in the first
position of this field indicates which asset number format
you are using. You assign special characters to asset number
formats on the Fixed Assets system constants form.
................................Form-specific information.................................
A number that identifies the immediate parent asset in a
parent/component relationship. For example, a car phone
and radar detector are components that belong to a car. If
you leave this field blank, the system uses the asset’s
primary identification number. If you change the parent
number, the system displays a window so you can enter the
date on which you assigned the asset a new parent.

Field Explanation
Status A user defined code (12/ES) that identifies the equipment
or disposal status of an asset, such as available, down, or
disposed.
................................Form-specific information.................................
The system updates the value in this field when you run the
Asset Disposal program to dispose of the asset.
Inventory Number A number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in
short, long, or third item number format.
For process work orders, the item number is the process.
................................Form-specific information.................................
This is a number assigned in the Inventory Management
system that identifies equipment repair parts, parts lists, and
routings that relate to this asset or piece of equipment. For
example, the number could identify a replacement part for
which inventory is maintained. This number could also
identify the parts list and routing used to maintain this piece
of equipment. The inventory number is informational only
and is edited against the Inventory Master.
Last Asset Number An 8-digit number that uniquely identifies an asset.
Entered
Asset Number An 8-digit number that uniquely identifies an asset.
Revenue Account A field that identifies an account in the general ledger. You
can use one of the following formats for account numbers:
• Standard account number (business
unit.object.subsidiary or flexible format)
• Third G/L number (maximum of 25 digits)
• 8-digit short account ID number
• Speed code
The first character of the account indicates the format of
the account number. You define the account format in the
General Accounting Constants program.
Location The current physical location of an asset. Location must be
a valid business unit or job number in the Business Unit
Master table (F0006).

Creating an Equipment Master
Field Explanation
Start Date The date on which an address, item, transaction, or table
becomes active, or the date from which you want
transactions to appear. The way the system uses this field
depends on the program. For example, the date that you
enter in this field might indicate when a change of address
becomes effective, or it could be a lease effective date, a
price or cost effective date, a currency effective date, a tax
rate effective date, and so on.
................................Form-specific information.................................
The date that an asset was transferred to its current
location.
Note: After you create the master record, you must use the
Asset Transfer or Transfer Processing programs to make
changes to this field.
Current Item Qty This is the current number of units for an asset. The
current item quantity is used in conjunction with the
original quantity. The Current Item Quantity field should
always reflect the current or remaining amount of units.
................................Form-specific information.................................
The default value for this field is 1. If you dispose of a
portion of an asset’s original quantity, you should adjust the
current quantity downward to reflect the amount actually
remaining. If you change the current quantity for an asset, a
window appears so that you can enter a location and
effective date for the quantity change. If you split an asset,
the system automatically updates this field.
Original Item Qty The original number of units for an asset. If assets are
purchased and accounted for in quantities (more than one),
you can specify the original quantity purchased. For
example, if you purchase 100 office chairs, you would set
up one asset item with an original quantity of 100. Then, as
you disposed of office chairs, you would adjust the current
quantity to reflect the current balance. This adjustment
allows you to track assets purchased in bulk quantity on one
master record.
Amount - Investment Tax The amount of investment tax credit (ITC) to be
Credit considered in depreciation calculations.
New or Used A code of N indicates a new asset. A code of U indicates a
used asset. This code is used in computing the ITC
limitation on the acquisition of used assets.
Financing Method A user defined code (12/FM) that designates how a fixed
asset was acquired. For example, financed or purchased
outright.

You can enter a variety of supplemental information for a piece of equipment. Use
supplemental information to further track, review, and report on the equipment in
your system. You set up and maintain supplemental information by defining
supplemental data types and entering information appropriate for each
supplemental data type. You define as many supplemental data types as you need.
For example, you might set up supplemental information for motor graders that
includes supplemental data types such as vibration readings, oil readings, condition
reports, and so on.
When you define supplemental data types, you specify the format in which you
want to record and track information. Valid formats include the following:
When you need to review supplemental information for a piece of equipment, you
can quickly determine whether a particular supplemental data type contains

Equipment-Plant Maintenance
When you enter supplemental data in code format, the information appears in
predefined columns. For example, the form for entering oil readings might have
columns for oil contaminant, date, description, and amount.
To ensure consistency of data entry, the fields that require supplemental data are
typically associated with specific user defined code tables, or generic rates and
messages tables. Any value that you enter in one of these fields must be included in
the associated user defined code table or generic rates and messages table. For
example, assume that you have set up a supplemental data type for oil readings that
includes a field for oil contaminants. Further, assume that you associated the field
for oil contaminants with a user defined code table. The user defined code table
might list all of the valid oil contaminants for which you analyze data. If you
attempt to enter a contaminant that is not included in the user defined code table,
an error message appears.

equipment is physically moved. You can update equipment location information
for planned and current relocations and keep a log of all historical relocations. For
example, you can do the following:
You enter equipment location information into the system so you can track
equipment locations as you physically transfer equipment from one job site or
business unit to another. If you have multiple quantities of an equipment item,
such as scaffolding, you can also do the following:
• Relocate quantities of the same equipment item to more than one current
location
• Relocate quantities of the same equipment item to a single location from
more than one current location
When you update the location information for a piece of equipment, the system
automatically updates the following fields in the Asset Master table (F1201):
• Equipment Status

Equipment-Plant Maintenance
• Location and Start Date (if the current transfer beginning date is greater
than the existing location/start date and you have only one current location)
When you relocate partial quantities of a piece of equipment, the system changes
the location code of the original location record to a history record for the full
quantity of the equipment. In addition, the system creates separate location records
for the equipment, as follows:
• For the partial quantity of equipment that remains at the original location,
the system creates a new location record with a location code of current
• For the partial quantity of equipment that you relocate, the system creates a
new location record with a location code of current
When equipment has multiple current locations, the Location and Start Date fields
in the equipment master are blank. The system message Multiple Current Locations
appears in the location description line.
The system automatically consolidates multiple current locations when you enter
location information for multiple pieces of the same equipment that have identical
billing information. For example, for equipment that is in multiple locations, if you
enter location information that includes identical relocation dates, times, and
billing information, the system creates a single location record for the equipment
and applies a location code of current to the record.
When you change location information for equipment that is a parent, the system
automatically relocates all components that are at the same location as the parent
to the new location.
When you enter location information into the system, the system updates the

Working with Equipment Locations
Field Explanation
Transfer Action Code For Equipment Location Billing clients only. This code
indicates whether a piece of equipment was rented or sold
to the job to which it was transferred, or sold to the job and
subsequently bought back. When you rent equipment to a
job, the Location Billings program bills the job
continuously, using the rental rates that you set up the
Rental Rates form (P1301) to determine the amount to bill.
When you sell equipment to a job, the Location Billings
program bills the job one time, using the equipment’s
replacement value as the amount to bill. When you sell
equipment to a job and subsequently buy back the
equipment, the system bills the job for the difference
between the equipment’s replacement cost and the buyback
percentage of the replacement cost. You define the buyback
percentage in Rental Rules.
Valid codes are:
1 Rented to the job
2 Sold to the job
3 Sold to the job and subsequently bought back
4 Future Use
Note: This field is used only in Equipment Management. It
is not used in Fixed Assets.
Equipment Rate Code A user defined code (00/RC) that indicates a billing rate,
such as DY for daily, MO for monthly, and WK for weekly.
You can set up multiple billing rates for a piece of
equipment.
If you leave this field blank, the system searches for a valid
billing rate in the following sequence:
1. Account Ledger Master (F0901) - This table
contains the most detailed rate information. You
can assign multiple rates for a job. For example,
you can set up separate rates for different
equipment working conditions.
2. Job or Business Unit Master (F0006) - This table
contains less detailed rate information than the
Account Ledger Master. You can only set up a
single rate for a job based on this table.
3. Rental Rules (F1302) - This table contains the
least detailed rate code information. The system
searches this table according to the criteria you
establish when setting up the table.

Object Account The portion of a general ledger account that refers to the
division of the Cost Code (for example, labor, materials,
and equipment) into subcategories. For example, dividing
labor into regular time, premium time, and burden.
Note: If you are using a flexible chart of accounts and the
object account is set to 6 digits, J.D. Edwards recommends
that you use all 6 digits. For example, entering 000456 is not
the same as entering 456, because if you enter 456, the
system enters three blank spaces to fill a 6-digit object.
Subsidiary A subdivision of an object account. Subsidiary accounts
include more detailed records of the accounting activity for
an object account.
Subledger A code that identifies a detailed auxiliary account within a
general ledger account. A subledger can be an equipment
item number or an address book number. If you enter a
subledger, you must also specify the subledger type.
Subledger Type A user defined code (00/ST) that is used with the Subledger
field to identify the subledger type and how the system
performs subledger editing. On the User Defined Codes

Field Explanation
Ledger Type A user defined code (09/LT) that specifies the type of
ledger, such as AA (Actual Amounts), BA (Budget
Amount), or AU (Actual Units). You can set up multiple,
concurrent accounting ledgers within the general ledger to
establish an audit trail for all transactions.
Units/Unit Cost A code that determines whether the system displays
amounts or statistical units. You can use statistical units to
track equipment information for a piece of equipment.
Valid values are:
N Display currency amounts. This is the default
value.
Y Display statistical units such as hours. The
statistical units you define for this code are stored
in the AT00 automatic accounting instruction.
A Display statistical units such as those used to
indicate fuel consumption. The statistical units
you define for this code are stored in the FMA
automatic accounting instruction.
B Display statistical units such as miles. The
statistical units you define for this code are stored
in the FMB automatic accounting instruction.
Equipment can accumulate usage amounts based
on hours, miles, fuel, and so on. When you
display equipment costs by units or unit cost, the
first account listed shows the number of units
that have accumulated for that piece of
equipment. The remaining account balances
reflect actual amounts divided by the total units or
a per unit cost for each account.
Field Explanation
Detail/Summary A code that you enter with one of the following values:
D No summarization
O Object account level of summarization when
sequencing by object
R Subsidiary account level of summarization when
sequencing by subsidiary
S Complete summarization by Automatic
Accounting Instruction object account
When sequencing by object account, D and O are valid
values. S is valid only for Fixed Assets. When sequencing by
subsidiary account, D is a valid value. R is valid only for
Equipment Management.
Note: If you wish to see the transaction ledger for a
particular account, you cannot summarize. If you are
displaying miles or units, these amounts are always
summarized.

document types (user defined code 48/ID). See Understanding User Defined
Codes.
From the Equipment Work Orders menu (G1316), choose Estimate to Actual
Variance.
• Order Number
Actual amounts for parts and materials appear, based on inventory
transactions from the Item Ledger table (F4111). Actual labor amounts
appear, based on payroll transactions from the Employee Transaction
History table (F0618) and the Employee Transaction Detail table (F06116).
The actual amounts for miscellaneous costs that appear are based on general
ledger transactions.
If the work order that you want to review does not include a parts list or
labor routing instructions, the system uses the estimated amounts from the
work order.
You add costs to a work order whenever you issue parts and materials to a work
order. You can use any J.D. Edwards system that creates transactions (journal
entries) with a subledger type of W in the Account Ledger table (F0911) to add
costs to a work order. Each transaction contains the work order number.
When the maintenance tasks associated with a work order require parts, you add
the cost of the parts to the work order by issuing parts to the work order.
Depending on the parts requirements of the maintenance tasks and how you have
applied parts to a work order, you can choose from the following methods to issue
parts to a work order:
Issuing parts included on Use this method if you have set up parts lists for your work
parts lists orders. When you issue parts included on the work order
parts list, the system reflects a reduction in available
inventory for the parts by reducing the commitment for the
parts.
Issuing miscellaneous Use this method if you need to assign different account
parts to a work order numbers to parts issues than the account from the work
order parts list. You can also use this method if you want to
add parts costs directly to a piece of equipment without
using a work order.
GSet up the 4122 and 4124 AAIs in the Inventory Management system. See
Setting Up AAIs in Distribution Systems in the Inventory Management Guide.

You issue parts included on the work order parts list when you need to add costs
for parts to a work order. This method is especially useful when you want to issue
all parts from the parts list to the work order at the same time.
You can also use Work Order Inventory Issues to issue parts to a work order that
are not included on the work order parts list. When you issue parts that are not
included on the work order parts list, the system updates the parts list to include
the additional parts. You can use processing options to restrict the parts issued to a
work order to only parts that are included on the parts list.
You can issue nonstock parts to a work order if you have defined them on the
work order parts list. When you use Work Order Inventory Issues to issue
nonstock parts, the system updates the work order parts list but does not create
any accounting transactions.
Note: When you issue parts to a work order for a piece of equipment for which
you have defined a warranty, the system provides a soft warning indicating the
warranty status.
GReview the processing options for Work Order Inventory Issues and verify
that you have chosen the option for the Equipment Management selection.

You should be familiar with the following terms and concepts related to the PM
cycle:
• 250-hour inspection
• Clutch adjustment
• Lubricate ventilation fan
• 10,000-hour engine rebuild
Preventive maintenance You create one PM schedule for each piece of equipment
schedule for which you want to perform PMs. The PM schedule
defines which service types should apply to a piece of
equipment. The PM schedule also defines the service
interval for each service type. A service interval refers to the
frequency at which the service types will be performed.
Primary Procedures
When you create a PM schedule, you include the service types that the equipment
requires and the intervals at which the service types must be performed.
Scheduling PMs
Completing PMs
You indicate when maintenance has been performed by completing PMs and PM
work orders. When you complete a PM, the system creates a historical record of it.
For most service types other than warranty service types, the system then generates
a new PM based on statistical information that you gather when you perform the
maintenance. The system does not generate a new PM for warranty service types.

Maintenance
You create a PM schedule for each piece of equipment that you want to maintain.
On each PM schedule, you indicate all of the service types you want to associate
with the piece of equipment. You also specify the rules governing how and when
the service types are performed. In addition, you can use PM schedules to signal
warranty expirations, equipment messages such as warnings and problem reports,
and other planning events not necessarily associated with preventive maintenance
tasks.
You can link related service types to a primary service type. When you link service
types, the system determines if separate maintenance tasks can be performed
concurrently, based on rules that you set up.
• A specific date
• A specified interval of days since maintenance was last performed
• Statistical units based on employee usage, such as employee hours
• Statistical units based on meter readings, such as fuel, miles, or hours
Working with PM schedules consists of the following tasks:
GCreating a PM schedule
Creating a PM Schedule
You create a PM schedule for each piece of equipment that you want to maintain.
On each PM schedule, you indicate all of the service types that you want to
associate with the piece of equipment. You also specify the rules governing how
and when the service types are performed. Service types can be for regularly
scheduled maintenance, as well as unscheduled maintenance tasks, such as
cleanings on an as-needed basis, or repairs at the point of equipment failure. In
addition, you can use PM schedules and service types to signal warranty service,
equipment messages such as warnings and problem reports, and other planning
events not necessarily associated with preventive maintenance tasks, such as license
renewals and recertifications.

Field Explanation
Service Type A user defined code (system 12, type ST) that describes the
preventive maintenance service to be performed. Examples
of codes include CLUTCH for adjust clutch, OIL for
change oil, 10H for 10 hour service, and so forth.
Field Explanation
Schedule Date The date that you want to receive a reminder message about
an asset.
................................Form-specific information.................................
This is the future date on which the scheduled maintenance
is due. You can enter a service interval based on the
schedule date and service days. If you enter both a schedule
date and service days, the system schedules the maintenance
to come due, based on the schedule date that you indicate.
Subsequent schedule dates for maintenance are calculated,
based on the last completed date, in conjunction with the
service days interval.
Frequency Indicator When used in conjunction with Schedule Date, this field
indicates the frequency at which the system schedules
maintenance. When maintenance is completed, the system
automatically schedules the next maintenance according to
the value that you enter in this field. Valid values are:
blank No frequency indicator
1 Same date each month
2 Last date each month
3 Same date each quarter
4 Same date each year
5 Same day each week
6 Semi-annually (same date at six month intervals)
Field Explanation
Multiple This code determines whether maintenance service types
can be rescheduled and can come due again before the
maintenance task for the originally scheduled service type
has been completed. Valid codes are:
Blank One Cycle (default). Maintenance is not
rescheduled until the original maintenance task
has been completed.
1 Multiple Cycle with Multiple Work Orders. When
the service type has come due, it is automatically
rescheduled to come due again regardless if the
original maintenance is completed. Multiple work
orders can accrue.
2 Multiple Cycle. When the service type has come
due, it is automatically rescheduled to come due
again regardless if the original maintenance is
completed. Only one work order can accrue.
3 Maintenance Loop. The Update PM Schedule
program assigns the Maintenance Loop code to
PM schedules generated through maintenance
loops. These PM schedules are not repeated in
the PM cycle. Maintenance tasks for all
equipment indicated in the maintenance loop are
performed under a single work order.
4 Warranty. A code that indicates that the
equipment is under warranty. The system
provides a warning on the Work Order Inventory
Issues form and the Purchase Request form
(when accessed from the Work Order Parts List).
When a PM that includes warranty service types is
completed, the system includes the warranty
service in the PM history record, but does not
reschedule the warranty service types.
Schedule Interval Hours The hours to be expended before you schedule
maintenance. To determine if maintenance is due, the
Update PM Schedule Status program uses this quantity and
the threshold percent from the maintenance rules table. It
calculates the total hours as the service hours plus the hours
run as of the last date you performed a maintenance. It then
compares this amount to the actual hours from the AA
ledger for the AT00 automatic accounting instruction to
determine if maintenance is due.
NOTE: Hours is only an example of a statistical unit. You
can define other statistical units appropriate to your
organization within the AT00 automatic accounting
instructions.
Field Explanation
Occurrences The estimated number of occurrences per year for the
service type. The PM Projections program uses information
from this field, in combination with the last completed date,
to project future schedule requirements.
You can use processing options to automatically calculate
the estimated occurrences, based on one of the following:
• One year of PM history
• Two years of PM history
• Inception-to-date PM history
................................Form-specific information.................................
If you use processing options to calculate the estimated
occurrences, you cannot manually update this field.
Procedure A list of valid codes for a specific user defined code list.
Model WO A number that identifies an original document. This can be
a voucher, an order number, an invoice, unapplied cash, a
journal entry number, and so on.
Last Completed Hours Number of hours at last maintenance.
Maintenance Priority This field is used to indicate the relative priority that this
maintenance has in relation to all other maintenance.
For each piece of equipment that you maintain, you can link several related service
types to a primary service type. For example, for a particular piece of equipment,
you might set up the following:
You use threshold percentages to specify when the system should include the
maintenance tasks for linked service types when it schedules the primary service
type. A threshold percentage is the percentage of a service interval that you define
as the trigger for maintenance to be scheduled. For example, you might set up a
service type to be scheduled every 100 hours with a threshold percentage of 90
percent. When the equipment accumulates 90 hours, the system schedules the
maintenance.
The system schedules the related maintenance to be performed with the primary
maintenance if the equipment is within the threshold percentage that you specify.
If the system has already scheduled the PMs for the linked service types when the
primary service type is due to be scheduled, the system might cancel the work
orders or process them normally, depending on the current status of the PMs and
the maintenance rules that you define for the primary service type.
You can specify whether the system creates a separate work order for each linked
service type, or combines maintenance tasks for all linked service types into the
work order for the primary service type. You can also specify how the system
processes work orders that it creates for linked service types that have been
scheduled before the primary service type. For example, if the system has already
created a work order for a linked service type when the primary service type
becomes due, you can specify the status, such as completed or canceled, that the
system assigns to the existing work orders.

Field Explanation
Separate Work Order A code that determines whether a separate work order will
be used when grouping maintenance tasks together.
1 The maintenance for separate tasks will be done
under separate work orders.
2 The maintenance for separate tasks will be done
under one work order or the maintenance for one
task will render the maintenance for the other
tasks unnecessary. If you are combining work
orders, the system will assign a canceled work
order status to any outstanding work order. For
example, if you combine work orders for a 250-
hour service and a 500-hour service, the system
will assign a cancelled work order status to the
work order for the 250-hour service.
Note: You can enter Y for 1 or N for 2.
Threshold Percent A percentage measure that indicates how close a piece of
equipment is to needing maintenance. This percentage is
based on the greater of the actual date, miles, hours, or fuel
consumption. A percentage of 090 indicates that the piece
of equipment is 10% away from needing maintenance. A
percentage greater than 100 indicates that maintenance is
past due.
NOTE: Miles, hours, and fuel are only examples of
statistical units. You can define other statistical units
appropriate to your organization within the
Equipment/Plant Management automatic accounting
instructions.
Threshold Days A daily measure of how close an equipment maintenance
line item is to being eligible for being performed, taking
into account the greater of the actual date, miles, hours, or
fuel consumption compared to the threshold date, miles,
hours, or fuel consumption.
NOTE: Miles, hours, and fuel are only examples of
statistical units. You can define other statistical units
appropriate to your organization within the
Equipment/Plant Management automatic accounting
instructions.

When you use maintenance loops, you eliminate the need for separate work orders
for each piece of equipment that you inspect. For example, if you have 25 pumps
of similar style and configuration for which you perform a routine inspection every
week, you can do the following:
The system only recycles the original PM. It does not recycle the PMs for the
associated equipment.
You can create a maintenance loop using a virtual or logical piece of equipment,
such as a production line or department. The logical equipment encompasses the
equipment that you want to include in the loop. If you use a logical piece of
equipment as the basis for a maintenance loop, you must create an equipment
master for the logical piece of equipment.

Use model PM schedules to store PM schedule information that you want to apply
to multiple pieces of equipment. You create model PM schedules based on
combinations of equipment category codes. When you need to create PM
schedules for equipment, you can use a model PM schedule that contains the
appropriate category codes.
The system stores model PM schedules in a table which it accesses when you apply
a particular model to a piece of equipment. When you apply a model PM schedule
to a piece of equipment, the system creates a unique record that you can modify to
satisfy the maintenance requirements of that equipment. The model PM schedule
remains unaltered and can be applied to other equipment as needed.
You create model PM schedules when you have multiple pieces of similar
equipment for which a single PM schedule can apply. You create model PM

Process
Work with meter readings when you need to enter and update meter information
about your equipment. You use meter readings to monitor equipment use and
trigger maintenance tasks based on accumulated statistical units, such as miles. For
example, you can schedule maintenance for a machine or piece of equipment,
based on mileage, elapsed time (hours), fuel consumption, cycles, or tonnage. You
can define as many accounts for statistical units as you need. However, you can use
only three types of statistical units to trigger maintenance. You determine the
statistical units that you want to use.
You can enter and update meter readings for individual pieces of equipment or for
multiple pieces of similar equipment. The table below summarizes the differences:
Individual pieces of Enter and update meter readings for individual pieces of
equipment equipment when you need to record equipment usage on a
piece-by-piece basis
Multiple pieces of Enter and update meter readings for multiple pieces of
equipment equipment if you are doing the following:
In addition, you can update equipment records to indicate that a meter was
replaced due to damage. You can also indicate when a meter rolls over. A meter
rollover is the point at which a meter has reached its maximum value and reverted
to a zero reading.

You can use meter estimates to update meter readings for equipment with usage
that is consistent and predictable. For example, assume that you have a production
line that includes multiple pieces of equipment. The production line runs 16 hours
each day. You can set up meter estimates that indicate 16 hours per day for each
piece of equipment on the line. You can then update the meter readings each day
or set up your system to automatically update the meter readings at the end of each
day.
You must set up meter estimates for each piece of equipment for which you want

Routes Routes define the path along which the Workflow system
moves a work order. Depending on your needs, a route can
be relatively simple and sequential, or increasingly complex
with joins or splits, parallel routing, iterative routing, (such
as a loop) and so on.
Workflow processes Workflow processes refer to processes that you have set up
to be handled through scripted workflow. For each process
that you define, you set up criteria that indicates the start
and end of the process. You also determine what the
workflow activities involved in the process are, such as
sending an approval message, calling an application such as
Capacity Plan Generation, or launching a sub-process. In
addition, for each process, you determine all of the relevant
data that the system requires in order to complete the
process. Finally, you determine the path, such as an
approval route, that a process takes, and whether the
process is contingent upon some conditional value, such as
work order status, amount, and date. Activity conditions
determine the next workflow activity in the process.

Primary data structures The primary data structure contains the data that makes an
instance of a process unique from another instance. In
Equipment/Plant Maintenance, where workflow processes
are set up primarily for events in the work order life cycle,
the primary data structure typically consists of the work
order number.
Attribute data structures Attribute data structures contain all pieces of data that a
given process and any activity within the process need to
complete the flow. Workflow Management uses the
attribute data structure to communicate between activities
within a process.
processes, add new ones, or use them as they are. Typically, you will need to
customize workflow processes to meet the needs of your organization. An example
of a predefined process for Equipment/Plant Maintenance is the process for Work
Order Approval.
You can have multiple versions of a workflow process. However, the system
allows only one version of a process to be activated at a time. You specify whether
a version is activated by choosing the version on Work With Processes and then
choosing either Activate or Deactivate from the Row menu.
You can use the Work With Processes form to search for predefined processes or
as the entry point to add new processes.
You can use the Workflow Revisions form to add new processes.
See Also
After you have set up workflow processes, you can add an unlimited number of
activities to a process, choosing from the following types of predefined activities:
Batch application This activity starts a batch application. You can launch any
report or batch process at this point.
Halt process This activity stops the process for a period of time that you
specify, after which the process resumes. If you do not
specify a time, you must restart the process manually.
In addition to the activities described above, each workflow process must begin
with the Start activity. By default, whenever you set up a process and attach a Start
activity, the system attaches the end activity.
A typical workflow process (in this case, an approval process) with various types of
activities attached is as follows:
A Workflow Process

You can review all of the activities that are currently set up in Workflow
Management from the Relationships Tab on the Workflow Revisions form.
All of the data fields that are currently attached to a particular process appear on
the Data Tab on the Workflow Revisions form.
Note: Before you can revise an existing activity, you must deactivate the activity.
Choose Deactivate from the Row Menu.

After you have set up and attached activities to a workflow process, you must add
process rules to the process. Process rules are user defined and determine the
conditions that must be met for Workflow Management to progress from activity
to activity. There are two types of process rules, as follows:

The following example is meant to assist your understanding of how the various
components of workflow management, such as processes, sub-processes, and
activities work together to provide a comprehensive workflow solution. The work
order approval process represents a typical workflow process within
Equipment/Plant Maintenance. By reviewing the example, you will be better aware
of the particular workflow components that require modification to meet your
business needs.
In the example provided, the approval process for a work order differs, based on
the document type of the work order and the work order type. Document type and
work order type are elements of the attribute data structure that you must set up to
In the example, the workflow process is initially triggered by the creation of a work
order or any change made to the status of a work order. The system uses Work
Order Activity Rules to determine if the status change is allowed. If the status
change is not allowed, workflow does not begin and an error message appears.
Otherwise, workflow begins normally. In Equipment/Plant Maintenance,
regardless of any subsequent processes, the first work flow process for work
orders is the WOactRules (Work Order Activity Rules) process. This process is
hard-coded and cannot be modified.

You must create a work order master for every work order that you track. The
master consists of basic information that defines the work order, such as the work
order number, description, and the business unit to which the work order is
charged. You can also enter additional information, such as category codes, to
further identify the work order.
The system stores work order master information in the Work Order Master table
(F4801).
You can assign record types to work orders and then enter descriptive information
into each record type to communicate important information about a task to
others who are involved. For example, you might want to include special
instructions, and information about parts and tools needed to complete the task.
In addition, you can copy parts from a standard parts list or assign non-standard
parts to a work order. You can also assign detailed labor routing instructions to a
work order. For example, you can do the following:
GSetting up a project
GDefine your chart of accounts for the charge-to business unit information.
See Creating and Updating Your Chart of Accounts in the General Accounting Guide.
You can assign up to ten category codes to a work order. Use category codes to
further identify and organize work orders that have similar characteristics. This is
especially useful for analyzing and reporting on work order information from a
variety of perspectives, such as shop, division, and type of work. You can also
analyze work order costs according to category codes. J.D. Edwards provides
several predefined category codes. You can use these or customize your own
category codes. You define all values for each category code.
Note: Many of the fields on Work Order Details are optional, but information in
these fields is particularly useful when you search for a work order or group of
work orders. You can use processing options to direct the system to enter default
values in several fields, such as address book fields, category code fields, approval
type fields, and manager and supervisor fields if you defined them during system
setup.
You can also retrieve numerous default values from a parent work order, if you
specify one. For example, you can use values from a parent work order to provide
default values for the following fields:

Field Explanation
Charge to BU An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity
within a business for which you want to track costs. For
example, a business unit might be a warehouse location,
job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed
asset, employee, and so on, for purposes of responsibility
reporting. For example, the system provides reports of
open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business
units to track equipment by responsible department.
Security for this field can prevent you from locating
business units for which you have no authority.
Note: The system uses the job number for journal entries if
you do not enter a value in the AAI table.
Field Explanation
Branch/Plant A code that represents a high-level business unit. Use this
code to refer to a branch or plant that might have
departments or jobs, which represent lower-level business
units, subordinate to it. For example:
• Branch/Plant (MMCU)
• Dept A (MCU)
• Dept B (MCU)
• Job 123 (MCU)
Business unit security is based on the higher-level business
unit.
................................Form-specific information.................................
This field identifies the Branch/Plant that maintains the
parts inventory.
Start Date The start date for the order. You can enter this date
manually, or have the system calculate it using a
backsheduling routine. The routine starts with the required
date and offsets the total leadtime to calculate the
appropriate start date.
................................Form-specific information.................................
You must enter a start date if you attach a parts list or
routing to the work order.
Std Parts/Inst A number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in
short, long, or third item number format.
For process work orders, the item number is the process.
Planned Comp The date that the work order or engineering change order is
planned to be completed.
Estimated Hours The estimated hours that are budgeted for this work order.
Subledger Inactive Code A code in WorldSoftware or an option in OneWorld that
indicates whether a specific subledger is active or inactive.
Any value other than blank indicates that a subledger is
inactive. Examples are jobs that are closed, employees that
have been terminated, or assets that have been disposed. If
a subledger becomes active again, set this field back to
blank.
If you want to use subledger information in the tables for
reports but want to prevent transactions from posting to
the master record, enter a value other than blank in this
field.
Approval Type A user defined code (system 48, type AP) indicating the
type of work order approval path that a work order follows.
You can use processing options to specify a default
approval type based on the type of work order.
Field Explanation
Type Bill of Material A user defined code (40/TB) that designates the type of bill
of material. You can define different types of bills of
material for different uses. For example, you can
differentiate between bills of material for maintenance and
manufacturing.
The system enters bill type M in the work order header
when you create a work order, unless you specify another
bill type. The system reads the bill type code on the work
order header to know which bill of material to use to create
the work order parts list. MRP uses the bill type code to
identify the bill of material to use when it attaches MRP
messages. Batch bills of material must be type M for shop
floor management, product costing, and MRP processing.
Type of Routing A user defined code (40/TR) that indicates the type of
routing. You can define different types of routing
instructions for different uses. For example, you can
differentiate between equipment maintenance routings and
manufacturing routings.
You define the routing type on the work order header. The
system then uses the specific type of routing that you define
in the work order routing.
Search X-Ref An alphanumeric value used as a cross-reference or
secondary reference number. Typically, this is the customer
number, supplier number, or job number.
W.O. Flash Message A user defined code (00/WM) that indicates a change in the
status of a work order. The system indicates a changed
work order with an asterisk in the appropriate report or
inquiry form field. The system highlights the flash message
in the Description field of the work order.

You can enter a variety of supplemental information for a work order. Use
supplemental information to further track, review, and report on the work orders
in your system. You set up and maintain supplemental information by defining
supplemental data types and entering information appropriate for each
supplemental data type. You define as many supplemental data types as you need.
For example, you might set up supplemental information for maintenance work
orders that includes a supplemental data type associated with safety procedures.
When you define supplemental data types, you specify the format in which you
want to record and track information. Valid formats include:
When you need to review supplemental information for a work order, you can
quickly determine whether a particular supplemental data type contains
information. On Work With Supplemental Data, a check mark appears in the
leftmost field (unlabeled) next to rows for which supplemental data in code format
has been entered. In addition, regardless of the data format, if narrative data exists
for a supplemental data type, a paper clip appears when you place the mouse
pointer over the field.
Working with supplemental information for work orders consists of the following
tasks:
When you enter supplemental data in code format, the information appears in
predefined columns. For example, the form for entering safety procedures might
have columns for procedure name, special tool requirements, responsible work
centers, and safety equipment.
To ensure consistency of data entry, the fields that require supplemental data are
typically associated with specific user defined code tables, or generic rates and
messages tables. Any value that you enter in one of these fields must be included in
the associated user defined code table or generic rates and messages table. For
example, assume that you have set up a supplemental data type for safety
procedures that includes a field for safety equipment. Further, assume that you
associated the field for safety equipment with a user defined code table. The user
defined code table might list all of the safety equipment that you track. If you
attempt to enter a piece of safety equipment that is not included in the associated
user defined code table, an error message appears.

You can assign parts to a work order to satisfy parts requirements for maintenance
tasks. Depending on how you set up your system, you can indicate how and when
the system commits inventory to satisfy a work order’s parts requirements. For
example, you can use Workflow Management to direct the system to commit
inventory to a work order only at a particular work order status.
You can assign parts from a standard parts list that you enter when you create the
work order. In addition, you can assign inventory parts that do not appear on a
standard parts list, such as when you are creating a work order for an unanticipated
emergency repair. You can also assign parts for which you do not maintain an
inventory master, such as special order parts that you rarely need. All parts
inventory information applicable to a work order appears on Work Order Parts

Field Explanation
Work Center An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity
within a business for which you want to track costs. For
example, a business unit might be a warehouse location,
job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed
asset, employee, and so on, for purposes of responsibility
reporting. For example, the system provides reports of
open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business
units to track equipment by responsible department.
Security for this field can prevent you from locating
business units for which you have no authority.
Note: The system uses the job number for journal entries if
you do not enter a value in the AAI table.
Field Explanation
Operation Sequence A number used to indicate an order of succession.
In routing instructions, a number that sequences the
fabrication or assembly steps in the manufacture of an item.
You can track costs and charge time by operation.
In bills of material, a number that designates the routing
step in the fabrication or assembly process that requires a
specified component part. You define the operation
sequence after you create the routing instructions for the
item. The Shop Floor Management system uses this
number in the backflush/preflush by operation process.
In engineering change orders, a number that sequences the
assembly steps for the engineering change.
For repetitive manufacturing, a number that identifies the
sequence in which an item is scheduled to be produced.
Skip To fields allow you to enter an operation sequence that
you want to begin the display of information.
You can use decimals to add steps between existing steps.
For example, use 12.5 to add a step between steps 12 and
13.
Operation Description A description can be:
• Brief information about an item
• A remark
• An explanation
Machine Run Hours The standard machine hours that you expect to incur in the
normal production of this item.
Labor Run Hours The standard hours of labor that you expect to incur in the
normal production of this item.
The run labor hours in the Routing Master table (F3003)
are the total hours that it takes the specified crew size to
complete the operation. The hours are multiplied by the
crew size during shop floor release and product costing.
Operation Status A user defined code (31/OS) that identifies the current
status of a work order or engineering change order as the
operation steps in the routing are completed.
Rate This is the rate used to estimate the labor cost of a routing
step. The system derives this rate from frozen standard
rates.
Start Date The start date for the order. You can enter this date
manually, or have the system calculate it using a
backsheduling routine. The routine starts with the required
date and offsets the total leadtime to calculate the
appropriate start date.
Field Explanation
Overlap Percent A number that indicates the percentage that successive
operations can overlap. The actual overlap percentage
entered for the operation sequence is the percent by which
that operation overlaps the prior operation. For example, if
you enter 80%, this indicates that work can begin on the
overlapped operation when 20% of the prior operation is
completed.
Notes:
1. Overlapping has no effect on move and queue
calculations.
2. The percent entered must be less than or equal to
100%.
Enter percents as whole numbers: 5% as 5.00
Crew Size The number of people who work in the specified work
center or routing operation.
The system multiplies the Run Labor value in the Routing
Master table (F3003) by crew size during costing to
generate total labor amounts.
If the Prime Load Code is L or B, the system uses the total
labor hours for backscheduling. If the Prime Load Code is
C or M, the system uses the total machine hours for
backscheduling without modification by crew size.
Instruction Number A generic rates and message code (48/SN) that is assigned
to a standard note, message, or general narrative
explanation. You can use this code to add instructional
information to a work order. You set up codes for this field
on the Generic Message/Rate Types table (F00191).
When you have an existing work order with information that is applicable to other
work orders, you can copy it using Copy Work Order. For example, you might
need to perform maintenance on a machine that is similar to the maintenance that
you performed on another machine. Instead of creating a new work order, you can
copy the work order for the previous maintenance. When you copy an existing
work order, the system assigns a unique number to the new work order.
Otherwise, the following information remains unchanged:
• Record types
You can also use a parent work order as the basis for creating a work order. The
system uses the information stored in the master for the parent work order to
automatically enter the basic work order information, category codes, and record
type information into the new work order. Use this method when you need to
group work orders that share information that used for reporting and cost
accounts.
From the Equipment Work Orders menu (G1316), choose Work Order Entry.
1. On Work with Work Orders, complete the following field in the Query by
Example row to locate the work order:
2. Choose the work order and then choose Copy Work Order Detail from the

• Entering Basic Work Order Information for the processing options for this
program
When you have set up maintenance tasks to come due on an as-needed basis rather
than a scheduled interval, you can notify the system when you want to create a
work order to perform the tasks. For example, you might want to wash a piece of
equipment only when it is in the shop for other maintenance.
Note: When you create a work order for unscheduled maintenance, the system
runs the ZJDE001 version of the Update PM Schedule Status program. The
default values for this version ensure that the system updates the maintenance
status and PM schedule only for the equipment for which the unscheduled
maintenance task applies. J.D. Edwards recommends that you do not change the
processing options for this version.
GSet up a PM service type for each unscheduled maintenance task and verify
that the service type has no schedule date or service interval. See Creating a
PM Schedule for more information about setting up service types.
From the Equipment Work Orders menu (G1316), choose Backlog Management
or Equipment Backlog.
• Equipment Number
3. Choose a service type for which you want to perform maintenance and then
choose Create Work Order from the Row menu.
The system updates the PM schedule to indicate the maintenance as 100
percent due and generates the corresponding work order.
See Also
• Locating Work Orders for the processing options for this program
You can create model work orders for any service type on a PM schedule. When
you create a model work order, the system assigns it a unique number. When you
enter a model work order number for a service type on a PM schedule, depending
on how you set processing options on Update PM Schedule Status, the system
automatically generates a new work order based on information from the model
each time that the service type comes due. For example, the new work order might
include the parts list, routing instructions, and any media objects that you attached
to the model work order.
Technical Considerations
Parts lists and routings When you choose Parts List from a model work order, the
for model work orders system accesses the Standard Parts List form. When you
choose Routings, the system accesses the Standard
Instructions form.
In addition, you can copy a media object from the model work order to the
assigned PM work order.
Note: You can use any existing work order as a model work order. You assign
model work orders to service types when you create PM schedules. J.D. Edwards
recommends that you enter a work order type that includes an X in the first
position of the second description line for the user defined code for Work Order
Type (00/TY). When you use Backlog Management to search for work orders, you
can specify that the system exclude model work orders from the search.
GVerify that you have set up the user defined code table for Work Order
Type (00/TY) with at least one work order type that includes an X in the
first position of the second description line. See Understanding User Defined
Codes.

Setting Up a Project
For a group of maintenance tasks that are interrelated and subordinate to a larger
task, such as a plant shutdown or the retooling of a manufacturing line, you can
combine the tasks into a project. Setting up a project is especially useful when you
need to monitor the day-to-day details of a project within the context of the
project as a whole.
The system automatically enters basic work order information, category codes, and
record type information from the parent work order into each work order in the
project. After you create the project hierarchy, you can enter specific information
for each work order by accessing the Work Order Details form. Use processing
options to specify which Work Order Details form that the system will display
when you want to enter additional work order information. You can then enter
additional information about each work order, such as status comments or an
extended description of the task.

3. To further define each step of the project, complete the following optional
fields and click OK:
• Hours - Estimated
• Message Number
Field Explanation
Parent W.O. No A number that identifies the parent work order. You can
use this number to do the following:
• Enter default values for new work orders, such as
Type, Priority, Status, and Manager
• Group work orders for project setup and
reporting
After you have created work orders, you can perform a variety of tasks to manage
the work orders as they move through the work order life cycle. For example, you
can:
You can use a variety of search criteria to locate work orders in your maintenance
organization. You can locate work orders using Backlog Management or
Equipment Backlog. The method that you choose depends on the information that
you know about the work orders that you want to locate, as well as the tasks that
you want to perform after you locate the work orders.
The following graphic shows many of the forms and functions that you can access
when you use Backlog Management or Equipment Backlog:
* Company
* Equipment Status
* Description
* Responsible Business Unit

You can enter a variety of search criteria on Backlog Management to locate work
orders in your maintenance organization. You can also use Backlog Management
to complete multiple tasks with a single work order. For example, after you locate a
work order, you can access a program that allows you to make revisions to the
parts list.
Use Backlog Management to review work order information that is not specific to
a piece of equipment or a category of equipment. When you use Backlog
Management, you can use any combination of the information shared among work
orders to locate them. For example, you can locate all the work orders for a
business unit that are assigned to a particular supervisor. Depending on how you
set up your system and on the processing options that are in effect, the system
enters * in many of the search fields on Backlog Management, such as the
following:
• Status
• Supervisor
• Manager (Planner)
• Customer
• Originator
You can perform a broad, relatively unfiltered search for work orders by accepting
the wildcard values, rather than completing specific search fields. To search for

You can revise information about your work orders as they move through the life
cycle. For example, you can change the start date of the work order if you do not
have the labor resources or parts to complete the maintenance task. You can revise
a variety of other information, including the following:
GSwapping a component
The life cycle of a work order includes the steps or statuses through which a work
order must pass in order to accurately communicate the progress of the
maintenance tasks it represents. For example, the life cycle of a work order can
include statuses that indicate the following:
When you have completed all of the tasks requested on a work order, you can
change the work order’s status to complete. When you change the status of a work
order to complete, the system provides a warning message that alerts you to any

Swapping a Component
To simplify moving equipment components from parent to parent, you can swap
an equipment component for another on a work order. When you swap a
component, you can specify changes that you want to make to the parent and
component relationships for each component. For example, you might need to
install a new exhaust fan in Production Line 1 while you service the old exhaust
fan. You can update the parent and component relationships to indicate that the
new exhaust fan is now a component of Production Line 1.
When you swap components, you can update the status of each component
affected by the swap. For example, you can indicate a status of Down for the
exhaust fan that you removed from Production Line 1 and a status of Working for
the new exhaust fan that you installed.
You can also revise the responsible business unit of the old component. In
addition, you can revise the location information for either component. When you
revise the location information for the new component, you can specify a location
or use the location of the component’s parent.

Record Types
Use maintenance planning to accurately forecast parts and labor resources needed
to complete your maintenance tasks. Use maintenance planning to minimize
equipment downtime by ensuring that the necessary parts, materials, and
maintenance personnel are available when a piece of equipment requires
maintenance.
When you use maintenance planning, you define a range of maintenance work
orders for which the system projects parts requirements and labor requirements.
Additionally, you can integrate this information with forecasted (planned) work
orders that the system generates when you run a preventive maintenance
projection.
This section describes features and functions that depend on the installation of the
complete Equipment/Plant Management system. To be able to use Maintenance
Planning, you must have purchased and installed the following systems:
PM Projections
When you run the PM projection, you can use the information that the system
generates to help plan your maintenance activities. You specify the time period for
which you want the system to forecast when equipment requires maintenance. The
PM projection includes the following information:
• Equipment numbers
• Service types associated with the equipment
• Projected start dates for each service type
• Estimated hours for each service type
• Estimated parts and labor costs
• Forecast type
Parts Plans
Use the parts plan to review the availability of required parts. When you generate a
parts plan, the system generates messages that you should review to identify
various parts planning needs. For example, you review parts messages to determine
the quantity needed of a particular part at a future date. You can also direct the
system to create purchase orders for parts currently not on hand, but needed in the
future.
Labor Plans
Use the labor plan to review the demands that maintenance tasks place on your
labor resources. When you generate a labor plan, the system generates messages
that alert you to over-capacity or under-capacity conditions. You can adjust your
labor resources accordingly or reschedule selected maintenance tasks to alleviate
the over-capacity or under-capacity conditions.
You can use PM projections to collect and review detailed information about
future maintenance tasks. For example, depending on the time period that you
specify, you can review the following:
GReviewing PM projections
Run the Update PM Projections program to forecast parts and labor requirements
for future PMs. When you run this program, you specify the dates for which you
want the projection to apply.
The system uses information from the Asset Master Information table (F1201) and
the Maintenance Schedule table (F1207; specifically, the estimated occurrences
value and the last completed date for each service type) to determine when a piece
of equipment will be due for maintenance. The system also uses parts and labor
resource information from the model work order to determine future parts and
labor requirements.
When you run Update PM Projections, the system updates the following tables:
Forecast table (F3460) The system uses values from this table to calculate parts
and labor requirements for projected PMs.
Note: You must have purchased and installed Requirements Planning (system 34)
and Capacity Requirements Planning (system 33) to use parts and labor planning
functions. In addition, you must associate model work orders with PM schedules
to supply the system with the necessary data to determine parts and labor
requirements.
When you select Update PM Projections, the system displays a versions list. The
versions list includes DEMO versions that you can run or copy and modify to suit
your needs. When you run a version, the system displays Processing Option
Revisions before submitting the job for processing.
After you select the appropriate processing options, the system displays a message
that the job was submitted to batch.

You can generate a parts plan to assist you in planning parts and materials
requirements for work orders. When you generate a parts plan, the system
compares the parts inventory you have on hand with the parts needed for work
orders. The system determines parts requirements for actual work orders, such as
work orders generated for corrective maintenance and forecasted (planned) work
orders.
Based on this comparison, the system determines the availability of the parts
needed for work orders. The system also generates messages that you can review
to ensure that the right parts are available when they are needed. The messages
include the following recommendations:
• Days - 14
• Weeks - 7
• Months - 4
When you review part availability by time, the system uses the planning horizon as
the basis for the parts projection information it displays.
When you use processing options for generating a parts plan, J.D. Edwards
recommends the following:
Every time you generate a parts plan, the system deletes all previous messages
regarding parts availability. The system also deletes all detail messages for the parts
you specify, except messages that you enter manually and messages that you direct
the system to hold.
Note: In order for the system to include an inventory part when the system
calculates part availability, the inventory part must have an item balance record.
To ensure accurate information when you generate a parts plan, other system users
should not access programs that use inventory or planning tables. When you run
Plan Generation, Processing Option Revisions appears before submitting the job
for processing.
GVerify that the workday calendar has been set up for the time period for
which you want to generate the parts plan. If your parts planning requires
order lead time, you must account for backward and forward scheduling to
accommodate the lead time. See Setting Up the Workday Calendar.

When you generate a parts plan, the system produces messages that identify when
planning conflicts exist. For example, depending on how you set up your system, if
a part’s usage exceeds availability, the system produces an order message. You can
process the messages according to the system’s recommendations, delete them, or
clear them. You can also create your own messages to serve as reminders about
particular parts.
The types of messages that the system produces are determined by user defined
codes (34/MT). You can add or change any message that appears on Item Detail
Messages. You can also direct the system to perform actions on messages that you
add or change. Standard message types include warning messages and planned
purchase order messages. Other messages include the following:

Field Explanation
Component Branch / Plant A secondary or lower-level business unit. The system uses
the value that you enter to indicate that a branch or plant
contains several subordinate departments or jobs. For
example, assume that the component branch is named
MMCU. The structure of MMCU might be as follows:
Branch/Plant - (MMCU)
Dept A - (MCU)
Dept B - (MCU)
Job 123 - (MCU)
Component Number A number that the system assigns to an item. It can be in
short, long, or third item number format.
For process work orders, the item number is the process.
As of Date The date used for effectivity checking. Enter a specific date
to display documents (orders, bills of material, routings, as
applicable) that are effective on or after that date. The
current system date is the default, but you can enter any
future or past date.
You can review a list of the work orders that include a particular component on
the work order parts list, or a list of the equipment that uses a particular
component. This is useful if, for example, you have critical information about a
part, such as recall information, and you need to quickly determine where you have
installed the part. In addition, you can review the bills of material that include a
particular component, either by the pieces of equipment or the work orders for
which the bill of material applies.
From the Material Planning menu (G1323), choose Where Used Inquiry.
1. On Work With Bill of Material Where Used, complete the following fields:
• Component Number
2. To limit the information that appears, complete the following optional field

You can use part cross-references to track your maintenance parts in a variety of
ways. When you set up part cross-references, you assign cross-reference types to
each part. For example, you can assign cross-reference types for the following:
From the Material Planning menu (G1323), choose Item Cross Reference.
1. On Work With Item Cross Reference, complete the following field and click
Find to locate cross-reference information for a part:
• Item Number
2. Choose the record for the item that you want to revise and then choose
Cross Reference by Item from the Row menu.
From the Labor Planning menu (G1324), choose Labor Plan Generation.
You can generate a labor plan to assist you in planning labor resources for your
maintenance tasks. When you generate a labor plan, the system compares available
labor resources with the labor resources required by forecasted (planned) work
orders and actual (firm) work orders. Based on this comparison, the system
generates messages that alert you to over-capacity and under-capacity conditions.
Ideally, you adjust your resources and schedule your maintenance tasks to achieve
a 100-percent capacity throughout your maintenance organization.
Every time you generate a labor plan, the system deletes all previous capacity
messages, except messages that you direct the system to hold and messages that
you enter manually.
When you run the Labor Plan Generation program, the system displays Processing
Option Revisions before submitting the job for processing. After you select the
appropriate processing options, the system prompts you to specify a destination
for the report output.
When you select data for Labor Plan Generation, J.D. Edwards recommends that
you set critical work centers not equal to 4. A critical work center is a work center
that you want the system to include as a demand for labor resources when the
system processes a labor plan.
GYou must generate a parts plan before you generate a labor plan. See
Generating a Parts Plan.

When the system generates a labor plan, it updates several forms and generates a
variety of messages. You can review these forms and messages to plan the resource
units needed to complete your maintenance tasks. The forms and messages include
the following information:
Capacity load You can use capacity load to analyze the difference between
the required labor resources (load) and the available labor
resources (capacity) for any time period that you specify.
You can review load versus capacity for a dispatch group or
for individual work centers within the dispatch group.
Period summary You can review detailed information about the work orders
scheduled to be completed within a period that you specify.
You can also review a summary of the total capacity load
for all work orders within a period.
Labor messages identify any labor resource conflicts. For example, you might have
scheduled too many maintenance tasks for a work center without enough
technicians to perform the work.

Capacity Mode (1) The Maintenance Planning system does not use Resource
Requirements Planning.
You can use capacity load information to help you allocate your labor resources as
optimally as possible. You can compare the load created by your maintenance tasks
with the labor resources available to perform the maintenance tasks.
When you review detailed capacity load information by work center, you specify a
work center and the unit of measure, such as hours, by which you track your
maintenance tasks.
You can review all of the maintenance tasks that make up the capacity load on a
work center. You can also specify the planning period you want to review. In
addition, you can do the following:
• Identify the percentage of the total load for the work center for which each
maintenance task accounts
• Identify the resource units, such as hours, required for each maintenance
task
When you review detailed capacity load information by work center, you specify a
work center and the unit of measure, such as hours, by which you track your
maintenance tasks. Depending on how you set up your system, the system
provides some or all of the following information by period:
Released load The load created from actual (firm) work orders.
Planned load The load created from forecasted (planned) work orders.
Percent of capacity used The total load divided by the rated capacity.

After you have identified which work centers have over-capacity and under-
capacity conditions, you should revise labor resources to correct the conditions
and balance the workload. When you correct over-capacity and under-capacity
conditions, you help maximize the efficiency of your maintenance organization and
save costs.
You can also make short-term revisions to the work center that is responsible for
the maintenance tasks. For example, you can do the following:
You can revise work order dates to correct over-capacity and under-capacity
conditions. You can also reschedule individual operation sequences (routing steps)
on a work order.

Field Explanation
Field Explanation
Efficiency A user defined value that indicates how efficiently a work
center operates. This value usually refers to staff efficiency.
When you enter a value in this field, and the Modify Cost
by Work Center Efficiency field in the Job Shop
Manufacturing Constants table (F3009) is set to Y, the
system creates a new cost component (B4) from the cost
calculated from the direct labor cost (B1).
For example, if the constant is set to Y, the value of this
field is 80%, and the direct labor cost is 10, the system
creates a B4 cost component for 2 in the Item Cost
Component Add-Ons table (F30026).
The Refresh Resource Units program also uses this value as
a default when calculating rated capacity.
Enter percents as whole numbers. For example, enter 80%
as 80.00.
Note: The system expects that the routing times entered for
each operator are the actual times it takes to complete an
operation. Efficiency does not affect total cost. Efficiency
does reassign some of the costs into different cost
components. Efficiency does not change the duration or
backscheduling of a work order.
User defined codes You set up user defined codes to enter information to
customize your system to your specific business needs. You
can customize a wide variety of information using user
defined codes.
Supplemental data You set up supplemental data to define the types of detailed
information that you want to track for equipment and work
orders. Supplemental data is entirely user defined and you
determine the data that you want to track based on your
business needs.
Work order information You set up work order information to provide the system
with the information needed to process work orders
according to your business needs. For example, you must
do the following:
GSetting up equipment
Before you can use Equipment/Plant Maintenance features, you must set up basic
information about your equipment. The system accesses the information that you
set up when it executes various programs within Equipment/Plant Maintenance.
You set up equipment constants only one time for Equipment/Plant Maintenance.
Typically, you should not change the system constants. However, if you need to
change them for any reason, you should understand the consequences. For
example, if you change the default business unit for asset accounts, the change
affects only the equipment that you add to the system after the change, and not the
equipment that exists in the system prior to the change.
For some equipment constants, you must perform an additional process to update
the system with your latest change. For example, if you change the symbol for the
asset number on the Equipment Constants form, you must also run the Refresh
Asset Number in F0911 program in Fixed Assets Global Updates to ensure that
other programs that use symbols to identify the asset number reflect the change.
Note: Equipment/Plant Maintenance shares some constants with the Fixed Asset
system. You should work with the system administrator for Fixed Assets to ensure
that the constants are set up to meet the needs of Fixed Assets and
Equipment/Plant Maintenance.
• Revenue Default
• Revenue Responsible BU
5. To define the supply and demand inclusion rules that the system uses for
material planning, complete the following field:
• Inclusion Version
6. To define the work order record type for maintenance loops, complete the
following field:
• Maintenance Loop
Field Explanation
Symbol to Identify Asset You can assign one of three different numbers to an asset.
Number These numbers are:
• Asset Number - an 8-digit, computer assigned
number
• Serial Number - a 25-digit model or serial number
• Unit Number - a 12-digit, alphanumeric, user
defined number
When you enter an asset number, you may use a prefix or
symbol to designate the number you enter. If you use this
number most often, you should leave the symbol blank so
that you just need to enter the number. If it is not the
number you use most often, you should define a symbol,
such as / or *, that you will type before you enter the
number so that the system knows which number you are
representing.
Note: You can leave only one asset number blank. The
other two must have a symbol so that all three numbers are
unique. Verify that the symbols that you use are not
significant for any other purposes of data entry, for
example, a period or comma.
Depreciation Category Use this Fixed Asset category code to group assets into
Code depreciation categories. Inquiries, reports, journals, and
other processes that depend on the depreciation category
refer to the value in this category code.
NOTE: You must set up a default value for this category
code.
Field Explanation
Supplemental Category Enter the number of the equipment category code that
Code controls which supplemental data types the system displays
on the Equipment Management supplemental data forms.
When you set up supplemental data, you use Data Type
Cross Reference to specify which types of data appear on
supplemental data forms. For example, on Equipment
Constants, you can specify equipment category code 2
(Major Equipment Class) as the supplemental data category
code. Then, on Data Type Cross Reference, you can specify
which data types are appropriate for each class of
equipment you set up under Major Equipment Class, such
as specification sheets and transportation notes for heavy
equipment.
Inclusion Version A user defined code (40/RV) that identifies an inclusion
rule that you want the system to use for this branch/plant.
The Manufacturing and Warehouse Management systems
use inclusion rules as follows:
• For Manufacturing:
Allows multiple versions of resource rules for
running MPS, MRP, or DRP.
• For Warehouse Management:
Allows multiple versions of inclusion rules for
running putaway and picking. The system
processes only those order lines that match the
inclusion rule for a specified branch/plant.
If you leave this field blank, the system does not update the
capacity plan when you create a work order or change the
status of a work order.
................................Form-specific information.................................
This code determines whether the system submits capacity
planning interactively when you create a work order or
when you change the status of a work order. The value you
enter defines which version of the supply/demand
inclusion rules the system uses to update the capacity plan.
Maintenance Loop The detail specification record type. Record types are user
defined. You can set them up on the Detail Specification
Types form and use them to describe certain types of work
order or engineering change order information.
................................Form-specific information.................................
This is the work order record type that stores the associated
equipment you define for maintenance loops. For example,
if you enter record type E on this form, when you set up a
maintenance loop, the system includes all equipment
contained in record type E on the work order.
Many J.D. Edwards programs need information about your account structure and
specific account values to process business transactions properly. You define your
account structure and specific account values by using automatic accounting
instructions (AAIs). The system stores the AAI values that you define for your
company in the Automatic Accounting Instructions table (F0012). Whenever a
program performs an accounting function, it accesses the Automatic Accounting
Instructions table.
You set up AAIs by company, based on account numbers, and in some cases,
ranges of account numbers. The system includes predefined ranges. You must
specify the business unit and object account for the AAIs as necessary.
Additionally, you must specify subsidiary accounts for certain AAIs.
The system uses single AAI values to find individual accounts and AAI ranges to
find account ranges. When you set up AAI ranges, you must observe the following
guidelines:
• You must set up your AAI ranges in numerical order. However, you are not
required to set up your object accounts in numerical order.
AAIs for Equipment/Plant Maintenance include the following categories:
Equipment AAIs
PM AAIs
• FP - Identifies the account that the system charges when you create a
purchase order for parts on the work order parts list
See Also
• Working with AAIs in the General Accounting Guide for more information
about adding or changing AAIs
The guidelines that follow pertain only to AAIs relevant to Equipment/Plant
Maintenance.
FX Range
The system uses the FX range in the AAIs to determine which journal entries in
the general ledger can post to equipment. You must specify all equipment accounts
within the FX range of accounts. The FX range of accounts consist of the
following:
• FX01 - FX02. Beginning and ending range for asset cost accounts
• FX03 - FX04. Beginning and ending range for accumulated depreciation
accounts
• FX05 - FX06. Beginning and ending range for depreciation expense
accounts
When you set up the FX range of AAIs, you must apply the following rules:
FC Range
The system uses the FC range in the AAIs to determine which accounts are
reserved for asset cost accounts.
When you set up the FC range of AAIs, you must apply the following rules:
• Define up to 49 FC ranges.
• Define account ranges for all asset cost accounts.
• Set up FC account ranges for company 00000 only. The FC range is not
company specific.
AT Range
The system uses the AT range of AAIs to determine which general ledger accounts
are included in the summary lines on the Cost Summary form. Use AT01 - AT99
to specify these interim total accounts and wording that appear for each total on
Cost Summary. Use AT00 to define the account in which to store statistical
information for hours. The AT range of AAIs is optional.
For example, you might specify that your balance sheet accounts are in account
range 1000 - 3999 and your income and expense accounts are in the 4000 - 8999
range. You could set up your AT range as follows:
• AT01. Object account 4000. This interim total sums all object accounts
below 4000, or accounts 0 - 3999. The system does not include object
account 4000.
• AT02. Object account 9000. This interim total sums all object accounts
between 4000 - 8999. The system does not include object account 9000.
When you set up the AT range of AAIs, you must apply the following rules:
The system uses these AAIs to determine the statistical accounts to use when
equipment accumulates units, such as miles, hours, and fuel. The system uses
statistical units to track equipment use. Programs that use these AAIs include:
• Meter Readings
• PM Schedule
• Update PM Schedule
• PM History and Completion
• Equipment Cost Analysis
When you set up FMA, FMB, and AT00 AAIs, you can set them up to be
company-specific. In addition, you must apply the following rules:
• FTC
• FTC1 - FTC0
• FTxx
See Also
The system uses these AAIs to define the statistical account that records the
original meter reading determined by the Meter Readings program. Each of these
AAIs corresponds to a statistical account as follows:
FP AAI
The system uses the FP AAI to determine which account to charge when you
create a purchase order from the work order parts list. You can set up the FP AAI
to be company-specific. Additionally, you must apply the following rules:
See Also
• Appendix A - Inventory Concepts and Setup for more information about setting
up line types
Because the system already has AAIs in place, you must verify that these AAIs are
appropriate for your business needs. You can revise existing AAIs and set up
additional AAIs as needed.
GSet up your chart of accounts. See Creating and Updating Your Chart of Accounts
in the General Accounting Guide.
To review individual AAI items in detail and revise them as needed, use the Set Up
Single AAI Item form. You also use this form when you copy an existing AAI
item.

You cannot change the following fields for existing AAI items:
• Item Number
• Company
Note: J.D. Edwards recommends that you do not change the following
account segment fields:
• BU Option
• Object Option
• Subsidiary Option
Field Explanation
System A user defined code (98/SY) that identifies a J.D. Edwards
system.
Sequence No. A number used to organize the table into a logical group for
online viewing and reporting.
Business Unit An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity
within a business for which you want to track costs. For
example, a business unit might be a warehouse location,
job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed
asset, employee, and so on, for purposes of responsibility
reporting. For example, the system provides reports of
open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business
units to track equipment by responsible department.
Security for this field can prevent you from locating
business units for which you have no authority.
Note: The system uses the job number for journal entries if
you do not enter a value in the AAI table.
................................Form-specific information.................................
Defining a business unit code might be optional, depending
on the type of AAI. For example, if the business unit code
is optional and you do not set one up for the AAI, the
system might use the business unit of a voucher or invoice,
or it might use the business unit associated with the
company of a transaction.
Object Account The portion of a general ledger account that refers to the
division of the Cost Code (for example, labor, materials,
and equipment) into subcategories. For example, dividing
labor into regular time, premium time, and burden.
Note: If you are using a flexible chart of accounts and the
object account is set to 6 digits, J.D. Edwards recommends
that you use all 6 digits. For example, entering 000456 is not
the same as entering 456, because if you enter 456, the
system enters three blank spaces to fill a 6-digit object.
Subsidiary A subdivision of an object account. Subsidiary accounts
include more detailed records of the accounting activity for
an object account.
................................Form-specific information.................................
This number identifies the general ledger subsidiary account
for the AAI when one is required.
Defining a subsidiary account can be optional, depending
on the type of AAI. Use 99999999 to express the end of a
range of subsidiary accounts.

Related Tasks
Setting up a new AAI by The following method is an efficient way to use an existing
copying an existing AAI AAI to set up a new AAI:
The system keeps the existing AAI and adds the new one.
When you set up equipment next numbers, you enable the system to automatically
assign unique numbers for certain items. For example, when you create an
equipment master for a new piece of equipment, the system assigns a unique
equipment number to the equipment. You must set up next numbers for the
following items:
• Compute Depreciation
• Single/Mass Asset Transfer
• Single/Mass Asset Disposal
• Enter Beginning Balances
• Asset Splits
Text key number The system generates a text key number to uniquely identify
each location and to associate location tracking text to the
location. The system assigns every location a text number,
regardless of whether you enter text for the location.
The system stores these next numbers in the Fixed Assets system (system 12). The
system generates next numbers from the Next Numbers table (F0002).
Caution: J.D. Edwards strongly recommends that you do not use blank as a next
number value. In addition, to ensure data integrity and to prevent the system from
assigning duplicate next numbers, you must never change a next number to a lesser
value.
1. On Work With Next Numbers, type 12 in the following field and click Find
to locate next numbers for Equipment/Plant Maintenance:
• Product Code
3. On Set Up Next Numbers by System, complete the following fields for each
number that you need to set up:
• Next Number
Do not delete next number values. Deleting a next number value
might prevent the system from assigning an automatic next number
or cause other unpredictable results.
Field Explanation
Next Number The number that the system will assign next. The system
can use next numbers for voucher numbers, invoice
numbers, journal entry numbers, employee numbers,
address numbers, contract numbers, and sequential W-2s.
You must use the next number types already established
unless you provide custom programming.
Check Digit Used When next numbers are used you may add a digit to the
end of each next number. If you are using check digits, and
the next number is “2”, the computer will add a check digit
to the end of the number and assign “27”. This check digit
enhances automated next numbers by avoiding assignment
of transposed numbers. For example, if “19” has been
assigned, the computer will not assign “91”.
You can control the accounts and depreciation values that the system enters into
the equipment master and account balance information when you add a new piece
of equipment to the system. You simplify the entry process of new equipment
information when you set up the following default values:
• Accounting class
• Equipment class
• Depreciation accounts
• Revenue accounts
• Depreciation information
You must set up depreciation default values for each asset cost account in each
company. You should verify that the default values are correct before you set up or
enter new equipment master information.
Note: The values that you set up on Depreciation Default Coding are also used by
the Fixed Assets system. You should coordinate the depreciation default setup and
any subsequent changes that you make with your accounting department.
From the Equipment Setup menu (G1341), choose Depreciation Default Coding.
• Company
The company number that you associate with the asset cost and
accumulated depreciation accounts must be the same as the company
number that you assign to the piece of equipment.
• Ledger Type
• Depreciation Method
• Revenue Credit
If you use depreciation method 00, you are not required to complete
any of the account fields. The only exception is the Revenue Credit
field. Complete this field if you plan to do any type of equipment
billing. If you use any other depreciation method, you must complete
these account fields.
Field Explanation
Company A code that identifies a specific organization, fund, entity,
and so on. The company code must already exist in the
Company Constants table (F0010) and must identify a
reporting entity that has a complete balance sheet. At this
level, you can have intercompany transactions.
Note: You can use Company 00000 for default values, such
as dates and automatic accounting instructions. You cannot
use Company 00000 for transaction entries.
Asset Cost Obj/Subsidiary The general ledger account (object number) used to record
a fixed asset’s acquisition cost. Within each company, you
define default coding instructions for asset cost accounts.
Then, based on these default codes, when you set up a new
asset, the system automatically assigns:
• Major and subclass codes
• G/L accounts for depreciation and revenue
• Depreciation books
LT A user defined code (09/LT) that specifies the type of
ledger, such as AA (Actual Amounts), BA (Budget
Amount), or AU (Actual Units). You can set up multiple,
concurrent accounting ledgers within the general ledger to
establish an audit trail for all transactions.
................................Form-specific information.................................
For Equipment/Plant Management users:
As a minimum setup requirement, you must set up a ledger
type of AA (actual amounts).
Field Explanation

S Actual Start Date for Primary Rule/First Day of
Period for Secondary Rule
Note: Numeric codes apply to standard depreciation
methods only.
To determine the date for F (First-half/Second-half), use
the following guidelines:
• If the asset was placed in service in the first half of
the year, then the adjusted depreciation start date
is the first day of the year.
• If the asset was placed in service in the second
half of the year, then the adjusted depreciation
start date is the first day of the succeeding year.
• The first half of the year expires at the close of the
last day of the calendar month that is closest to
the middle of the tax year.
• The second half of the year begins the day after
the expiration of the first half of the tax year.
Field Explanation
Major Accounting Class A user defined code (12/C1) that determines the
accounting class category code. You use this accounting
category code to classify assets into groups or families, for
example, 100 for land, 200 for vehicles, and 300 for general
office equipment.
J.D. Edwards recommends that you set up major class
codes that correspond to the major general ledger object
accounts in order to facilitate the reconciliation to the
general ledger.
Note: If you do not want to use the major accounting class
code, you must set up a value for blank in the user defined
code table.
Major Equipment Class A user defined code (12/C2) that is used to classify assets
into groups or families. You use the equipment category
code as a subclass to further define the accounting class, for
example, 310 for copy equipment, 320 for projectors, and
330 for typewriters within the accounting class for general
office equipment.
Note: If you do not want to use the major equipment class,
you must set up a value for blank in the user defined code
table.
Revenue Credit A field that identifies an account in the general ledger. You
can use one of the following formats for account numbers:
• Standard account number (business
unit.object.subsidiary or flexible format)
• Third G/L number (maximum of 25 digits)
• 8-digit short account ID number
• Speed code
The first character of the account indicates the format of
the account number. You define the account format in the
General Accounting Constants program.
If you set up category codes for your business unit that would also be helpful for
tracking and reporting on your equipment, you can set up default values to map, or
associate specific business unit category codes to specific equipment category
codes. You can also map specific equipment category codes to specific work order
category codes.
When you set up an equipment master for a new piece of equipment, the system
automatically enters the category codes that you specified from the responsible
business unit on the equipment master. Similarly, when you set up work orders for
equipment, the system automatically enters the category codes that you specified
from the equipment master on the work order. If you change the responsible
business unit for a piece of equipment, the system reassigns equipment category
codes based on the new business unit.
Note: The default values you set up on Category Code Mapping appear on
Equipment Master only if the values are valid for the business unit and the
equipment. For example, if you want to map the value for category code 05 from
the business unit master to category code 08 on the equipment master, the values
for both category code tables must match. The same applies when you map
equipment category codes to work order category codes.
• Mapping Type
2. Complete the following fields for each pair of category codes that you want
to map:
Use specification data to define which types of static data, such as nameplate
information, you want to record for a particular equipment class. For each
equipment class, you can create up to 99 pages of data with as many as 16 data
fields per page. You can set up the sequence in which the data appears and specify
the names for the various data fields.
GVerify that you have entered a supplemental category code on Fixed Asset
Constants. See Setting Up Equipment Constants.
From the Supplemental Data Setup menu (G1344), choose Specification Cross
Reference.
3. Complete the following fields for each type of specification data that you
want to set up:
• Sequence Number
• Description
• Field Number
• Item Size
• Product Code
• Display Decimals
• Justify (R or L)
• Field Type
If you do not enter a field type, the system enters a default value of A.
6. If the equipment class for which you are setting up specification data
requires more than 16 specification data types, complete the following field
to create a new page:
• Page No
Field Explanation
Sequence Number A number that is used to sequence specification data. For
any item of specification data, enter the number in the
order you want it to appear on the Specification Data Entry
form (World), or the Specification Data Revisions form
(OneWorld).
Note: After you define a specification data item, you cannot
change its sequence number. If you need to revise the
sequence in which a data item appears, you must type over
existing data item information at the sequence number for
which you want the data item to appear.
Field Number This number defines which field in the Specification Data
table you are setting up. For this field number, you can
define a description, the sequence in which it will display,
and any editing rules that you want to apply to the data.
Field Explanation
Item Size The field size of the data item.
NOTE: All amount fields should be entered as 15 bytes, 0
decimals, and the data item type should be P (packed).
Product Code A user defined code (98/SY) that identifies a J.D. Edwards
system.
User Defined Codes A code that identifies the table that contains user defined
codes. The table is also referred to as a UDC type.
Display Decimals A value that designates the number of decimals in the
currency, amount, or quantity fields the system displays.
For example, U.S. Dollars would be 2 decimals, Japanese
Yen would be no decimals, and Cameroon Francs would be
3 decimals.
Required Field (Y/N) A code that specifies whether a value is required. The
default is N for Not Required. Valid codes are:
Y or 1 - This value is required to be valid.
N or 0 - This value is not required.
Field Type Enter the type of data that the user will enter in the field on
the Specification Data Entry form. Valid values are:
A Alpha Numeric
N Numeric
D Date
T Time
Page No This is the page number within the Specification Sheets.
The Specification Data file (F1216) contains only 32 fields
per page. If a particular class of equipment needs more
than 32 fields to store the static data, you will have to create
a new page number with the file.
Note: Equipment/Plant Maintenance uses the category codes from the Fixed
Assets system (12). Many forms throughout Equipment/Plant Maintenance display
the first 10 of 23 category codes. J.D. Edwards recommends that you assign
specific equipment needs to as many of the first 10 category codes as you need.
This will help you to perform online searches for equipment. You can then use the
remaining codes for fixed asset reporting needs.
Caution: User defined codes are central to J.D. Edwards systems. You must be
thoroughly familiar with user defined codes before you change them.
Use these codes to group equipment into categories, such as office equipment,
furniture, heavy equipment, plant equipment, and so on.
J.D. Edwards recommends that you set up a one-to-one relationship with major
accounting class and the asset cost account.
Use these codes to further categorize equipment into subclasses. For example, set
up codes to divide office equipment into groups such as copiers, computers,
printers, and so on.
Use these codes to further group equipment into meaningful classifications based
on your needs. J.D. Edwards provides many predefined values. You can use the
predefined values or modify them to your business needs. For instance, category
If you use Equipment Billing, you must use category code 10 to define billing rate
groups.
Use these codes to identify the operational status of equipment, such as whether it
is available, working, down, or disposed.
Equipment status codes might also be used by the Fixed Assets system to track
types of disposals.
Use these codes to define and group different types of messages, such as planned
maintenance, problem reporting, lease terms, and so on.
Use these codes to specify how a piece of equipment was acquired, such as leased
or purchased outright. Finance method information is stored in the Asset Master
table (F1201).
Use these codes to define the ledger types for various sets of books. The default
ledger type for equipment transactions is AA (Actual Amounts). Any ledgers that
you define in user defined code table 12/LT are in addition to the AA ledger. You
are not required to specify any ledgers in this table.
Use special handling codes to indicate how you want the system to process data
for these additional ledgers. Valid codes for this table’s special handling codes are
as follows:
Note: You must also define all additional ledger types on General Accounting
Ledger Types (09/LT).
Use these codes to identify the different types of maintenance tasks that you assign
to the preventive maintenance schedules for each piece of equipment, such as
LUBE for equipment lubrication, INSPECT for safety inspection, and so on.
Use these codes to identify the status of a maintenance task at a specific time. For
example, you might set up a code to indicate that a maintenance task is waiting for
parts and another code to indicate that the work is in progress.
Use these codes to categorize preventive maintenance schedules. For example, set
up codes to divide preventive maintenance schedules into groups, such as critical
and non-critical.
Use these codes to group work orders by type, such as emergency work order or
preventive maintenance work order. The system displays this classification code
field on Enter Work Orders and Backlog Management.
The Work Order Processing system includes predefined type code values. If these
type codes do not meet your needs, you can modify them, or you can create new
ones.
Use these codes to group work orders by priority, such as urgent or low priority.
The system displays this classification code field on Enter Work Orders and
Backlog Management.
Use these codes to group work orders by current condition. You can update the
status code for a work order as work progresses. The system displays this
classification code field on a variety of forms related to the life cycle of a work
order, such as Work With Work Orders and Work Order Details.
Category code 01 is a special four-character user defined code that appears on all
work order forms and reports. You can use category code 01 for the work order
phase or matter codes. Use phase or matter codes to do the following:
Use category codes 02 - 10 to customize and further define your work orders.
Category codes 02 - 10 have no predefined values. The system displays the first ten
category codes on Backlog Management. You can set up these codes to help you
limit your search for work orders on Backlog Management.
For example, you can set up category code 2 as a work order failure code to
indicate reasons for equipment failure. You could then set up codes to indicate
equipment failure due to the following:
• Operator error
• Design flaw
• Lubrication or cooling problem
Use these codes to differentiate between different types of work order transactions
in the general ledger. For example, you can create document types for preventive
maintenance work orders, corrective maintenance work orders, and so on.
Use record type codes to organize the descriptive information that you enter and
track for your work orders. For example, you might set up record types to include
the following types of information:
Use these codes to define the document types that the system displays on Cost by
Work Order. For example, you can set up codes for the following document types:
• Inventory issues
• Work order inventory issues
• Accounts payable entries
• Time entries
Use these codes to define the inventory document types that the system displays
on the work order Estimate to Actual Variance form. For example, you can set up
codes for the following types of inventory issues:
• Inventory issues
• Work order inventory issues
Use these codes to define the types of parts lists that you can assign to a work
order, such as preventive maintenance parts lists, corrective maintenance parts
lists, and so on.
Use these codes to define the types of labor routing instructions you can assign to
a work order, such as preventive maintenance instructions, corrective maintenance
instructions, and so on.
You can record and track supplemental data in several J.D. Edwards systems,
including the following:
• Address Book
• General Accounting
• Human Resources
• Asset Management
• Inventory Management
• Work Orders
Supplemental data is stored in unique databases for each system. When you set up
supplemental data, you define the types of supplemental information that you want
to track in each database. You define as many supplemental data types as you need.
The methods by which you set up and maintain supplemental data are the same for
all systems.
Asset Management (AM) The key field for the asset management supplemental
database is Asset Number.
Work Order (WO) The key field for the work order supplemental database is
Document Number.
After you define supplemental data types, you can set up language preferences for
each supplemental database. When you do so, the information that you enter
appears in the language of your choice.
• Capacity
• Transportation notes
• Vibration readings
• Oil Readings
• Specification sheets
Depending on your needs, you can define a supplemental data type in any of the
following formats:
Narrative format (N) Narrative format allows you to enter information in free
form text. You might want to use the narrative format for
the following:
• Transportation notes
• Detailed equipment descriptions
• Problem reports
Code format (C) The system provides two code formats. Format C edits
supplemental against user defined codes. Format M edits
data against Generic Rates and Messages.
Program format (P) Use the program format to access a specific program and
version number from a supplemental data type. Instead of
customizing menus, you can set up supplemental data types
to access the forms that you use most often. Setting up
supplemental data types in this manner allows you to access
these forms from a single menu selection, which saves you
time and streamlines your data entry tasks.
From the Supplemental Data Setup menu (G1344), choose Supplemental Data
Setup.

Field Explanation
Column Name An alphanumeric code that identifies a column. A column
represents a performance factor, such as the average unit
cost for an item and the last cost that you paid for an item.
For example, you can review performance factors to
compare suppliers’ costs and services for a certain item.
Description A user defined name or remark.
Column Heading 1 The first line in the heading that describes the column. The
system automatically centers this line for the column.
Column Heading 2 The second line in the heading that describes the column.
The system automatically centers this line for the column.
Formula A calculation that the system uses to determine an amount
or quantity for this column. You can use a single predefined
value or multiple predefined values in conjunction with
mathematical operators to enter a formula. Valid
mathematical operators are:
+ Add
- Subtract
* Multiply
/ Divide
( ) Left and right parentheses for nesting
For example, you can enter the following formula to have
the system calculate on-time percentages:
20/(20+21+22)
The formula above equals on-time percentages because:
• 20 is the value for on-time amounts
• 21 is the value for early amounts
• 22 is the value for late amounts
Multiplier The factor by which the amounts or unit quantities in a
column are multiplied. The result of the calculation in the
Formula field is multiplied by this factor before it is
displayed on the Job Status Inquiry screen.
For example, if you want to scale down extremely large
numbers to thousands, type .001 in this field. If you want
percentages to be displayed as whole numbers, type 100.

Field Explanation
A user defined code (system 12, type ST) that describes the
preventive maintenance service to be performed. Examples
of codes include CLUTCH for adjust clutch, OIL for
change oil, 10H for 10 hour service, and so forth.
Thru % A percentage measure that indicates how close a piece of
equipment is to needing maintenance. This percentage is
based on the greater of the actual date, miles, hours, or fuel
consumption. A percentage of 090 indicates that the piece
of equipment is 10% away from needing maintenance. A
percentage greater than 100 indicates that maintenance is
past due.
NOTE: Miles, hours, and fuel are only examples of
statistical units. You can define other statistical units
appropriate to your organization within the
Equipment/Plant Management automatic accounting
instructions.
PM Status A user defined code (12/MS) that indicates the
maintenance status of a piece of equipment, such as 50 for
maintenance due or 60 for waiting for parts.
Note: Status code 98 is reserved for canceled maintenance.
Status code 99 is reserved for completed maintenance.
Status code 01, the default, is reserved for initial
maintenance setup.
Field Explanation
WO Type A user defined code (00/TY) that indicates the
classification of a work order or engineering change order.
You can use work order type as a selection criterion for
work order approvals.
WO Status A user defined code (system 00, type SS) that describes the
status of a work order.
WO Priority A user defined code (00/PR) that indicates the relative
priority of a work order or engineering change order in
relation to other orders.
A processing option for some forms lets you enter a default
value for this field. The value then displays automatically in
the appropriate fields on any work order you create on
those forms and on the Project Setup form. You can either
accept or override the default value.
WO BU A code that determines which Business Unit will be used as
the Charge to Business Unit on Assigned Work Orders that
are created when items are scheduled for maintenance.
Codes are:
1 Use the Charge to Business Unit from the Model
Work Order on the Assigned Work Orders.
2 Use the Responsible Business Unit from the Item
Master (F1201) as the Charge to Business Unit on
the Assigned Work Orders.
Assoc. From The first code in a range of codes that identifies which
associated service types already scheduled for maintenance
should be grouped together. These service types are
grouped with the primary service type and assigned to the
same work order. For example, if a monthly vehicle
inspection and an annual vehicle inspection occur in the
same month, the system would group the monthly
inspection (associated service type) with the annual
inspection (primary service type) and assign it to the same
work order.

Before you can use the work order features in Equipment/Plant Maintenance, you
must provide the system with information necessary to customize work orders for
your business needs. For example, you can set up different managers and
supervisors for work orders, based on work order category codes. When you
assign category codes to a new work order, the system automatically assigns the
correct managers and supervisors.
In addition to setting up managers and supervisors, you must set up the following:
Work order next numbers You set up the beginning number for work orders. The
system assigns a unique number for each work order
generated.
Record type information You use record types to organize and track detailed
information about a work order, such as its full description,
final disposition, and so on. You can then track the
information according to the record type to which you
assigned the information.
Work order activity rules You can set up rules that specify the statuses or steps
through which a work order must pass. In addition, you can
specify that certain statuses trigger events in the work order
life cycle, such as the following:
Work order approvers You specify the individuals that are responsible for
approving work orders at various points in the work order
life cycle.
Standard parts lists and You can set up standard parts lists for work orders. You use
work order instructions a standard parts list when the maintenance task for which
the work order applies is routine and repetitive, and for
which you have advance knowledge of the parts
requirements.
Default user locations Many of the forms within the Work Order system require
and printers you to specify a location, such as a branch or plant, to
which you are assigned. You can set up default locations for
each person in your organization who uses the Work Order
system. You can also assign a default print queue to each
person. When a person prints a work order, the system uses
the default print queue that you set up unless the person
specifies otherwise.
Supply and demand You must set up rules that govern which document types
inclusion rules and document statuses create a supply or demand for parts.
Due to system integration features, you access other J.D. Edwards systems to
complete certain setup tasks. The guidelines for completing these tasks are
discussed as needed in this chapter.
When you create a work order, you can specify that the system automatically enter
the address book information for managers and supervisors based on any
combination of the first three work order category codes. The system automatically
enters address book values in the following fields on Work Order Entry:
• ANPA (Supervisor)
• ANSA (Manager)
You can set up as many versions of default managers and supervisors as you need.
For example, you can assign a specific manager and supervisor to every work order
with a failure code (category code 02) of F1 - Improper start-up or operation. You
can assign another manager and supervisor to every work order with a failure code
of F2 - Improper installation or repair.
From the Work Order Setup menu (G4841), choose Work With Work Order
Default Codes.
1. On Work With Work Order Default Codes, click Add to access Default
Supervisor and Manager.
• Phase/System
• Computer
• Release
• Supervisor
• Manager
You must complete at least one category code field and one address book
field for each version of default managers and supervisors that you set up.
Field Explanation
Phase/System A user defined code (00/W1) that indicates the current
stage or phase of development for a work order. You can
assign a work order to only one phase code at a time.
Note: Certain forms contain a processing option that allows
you to enter a default value for this field. If you enter a
default value on a form for which you have set this
processing option, the system displays the value in the
appropriate fields on any work orders that you create. The
system also displays the value on the Project Setup form.
You can either accept or override the default value.
Note: A processing option for the SAR Entry lets you enter
a default value for this field. The value than displays
automatically in the System Code field on the SAR Entry
form when you add a new SAR. You can either accept or
override the default value.
Computer A user defined code (00/W3) that indicates the type or
category of the work order.
Note: A processing option for some forms allows you to
enter a default value for this field. The system enters the
default value automatically in the appropriate fields on any
work orders that you create on those forms and on the
Project Setup form. You can either accept or override the
default value.
Note: A processing option for the SAR Entry lets you enter
a default value or this field. The value then displays
automatically in the Release To Fix field on the SAR Entry
form when you add a new SAR. You can either accept or
override the default value.
Release A user defined code (00/W2) that indicates the type or
category of a work order.
Note: A processing option for some forms lets you enter a
default value for this field. The system enters the default
value automatically in the appropriate fields on any work
orders that you create on those forms and on the Project
Setup form. You can either accept or override the default
value.
Note: A processing option for the SAR Entry lets you enter
a default value for this field. The value then displays
automatically in the Computer field on the SAR Entry form
when you add a new SAR. You can either accept or
override the default value.
Field Explanation
Supervisor The address book number of the supervisor.
Note: A processing option for some forms allows you to
enter a default value for this field based on values for
category codes 1 (Phase), 2, and 3. Set up the default values
on the default Managers and Supervisor form. The system
will automatically display the information you specified on
all work orders you create if the category code criterion is
met. You can override the default value.
Manager The address book number of a manager or planner.
Note: A processing option for some forms allows you to
enter a default value for this field based on values for
category codes 1 (Phase), 2, and 3. You set up the default
values on the Default Managers and Supervisors form.
After you set up the default values and the processing
option, the default information displays automatically on
any work orders that you create if the category code
criterion is met. You can either accept or override the
default value.
When you set up work order next numbers, you enable the system to automatically
assign unique numbers for each work order generated by you or the system.
The system stores next numbers for work orders in the Work Orders/Service
Billing system (system 48). The system generates next numbers from the Next
Numbers table (F0002).
Caution: J.D. Edwards strongly recommends that you do not use blank as a next
number value.
1. On Work With Next Numbers, type 48 in the following field and click Find
to locate next numbers for the Work Order system:
• Product Code
3. On Set Up Next Numbers by System, complete the following field for each
number that you need to set up:
• Next Number
Equipment/Plant Maintenance users need to set up only the Work Order
Number. J.D. Edwards strongly recommends that you do not use blank as a
next number value.
Field Explanation
Next Number The number that the system will assign next. The system
can use next numbers for voucher numbers, invoice
numbers, journal entry numbers, employee numbers,
address numbers, contract numbers, and sequential W-2s.
You must use the next number types already established
unless you provide custom programming.
Check Digit Used When next numbers are used you may add a digit to the
end of each next number. If you are using check digits, and
the next number is “2”, the computer will add a check digit
to the end of the number and assign “27”. This check digit
enhances automated next numbers by avoiding assignment
of transposed numbers. For example, if “19” has been
assigned, the computer will not assign “91”.
You use record types to organize the detail information that you track for work
orders. For example, you can organize information, such as original task
description, tools required, safety provisions, and so on.
For each record type that you use you can specify how the information appears.
You can also control the display format for these record types. For each record
type that you set up you can specify a format that is text only or a format that
includes text and three columns. If you use the format for text and three columns,
you must specify at least one of the column headings that you want to appear. The
text-only format does not include headings. If you specify even one column
heading for the record type, the record type changes to the format that includes
text and three columns. If you change the format of a record type after you’ve
assigned it to one or more work orders, the system updates the format of that
record type for all work orders.
You can review record types, formats, and column headings by choosing Record
Types from Work With Work Orders, or Record Type Review from Work Order
Details.
Note: You must set up the following record types for Equipment/Plant
Maintenance:
• Maintenance Loops
• Associated PMs
GDefine work order record types. See Understanding User Defined Codes for
more information about defining work order record types.
See Also
From the Work Order Setup menu (G4841), choose Detail Specifications Over
Titles.
• Record Type
• Sub-Title 1
• Sub-Title 2
• Sub-Title 3
Field Explanation
Record Type The detail specification record type. Record types are user
defined. You can set them up on the Detail Specification
Types form and use them to describe certain types of work
order or engineering change order information.
Sub-Title 1 A subtitle, description, remark, name, or address.
The text that you type in this field appears as a column
heading on the Work Order Detail Entry form for the
record type indicated.
System Prerequisites
Required record types You must set up the following record types for
Equipment/Plant Maintenance:
• Maintenance Loops
• Associated PMs
The record type that you set up for associated PMs must be
assigned to record type Z. This record type stores all
associated service types to be performed on a work order.
• Define the expected sequence of work order statuses in a work order life
cycle, as well as alternate statuses that are allowed at a given point in the
cycle
• Specify whether the work order is active or inactive at a particular status
• Change the PM status when the work order changes status
• Define whether a work order can be changed at a particular status
You can set up work order activity rules that differ by work order document type
and work order type. Document types are user defined codes that you use to
specify how a document is processed by the general ledger. For example, you
might define separate document types for PM work orders and corrective work
orders. A work order type is a user defined code that you can use to classify work
orders, such as maintenance work orders, model work orders, and so on.
From the Work Order Setup menu, (G4841), choose Work Order Activity Rules.
1. On Work With Work Order Activity Rules, click Add to access Work Order
Activity Rules.
2. On Work Order Activity Rules, complete the following fields in the header
area of the form to specify a classification of work orders:
• Order Type
• WO Type
3. To define the activity rules for a classification of work orders, complete the
following fields for as many rows as applicable:
• WO Status
• Next Status
• Allowed Status 1
• Allowed Status 2
• Allowed Status 3
• Allowed Status 4
• Allowed Status 5
Each row represents a specific rule. Before you can use a status code as a
next status or other allowed status, you must set up a rule whereby the status
code is the work order status for that rule.
Do not delete a status code from the activity rules table if another set of
activity rules uses it as a next status or another allowed status.
4. For each rule that you defined above, complete the following optional fields:
• Maint. Status
• Lock Flag
5. To assign a reject status to a rule, choose its record and from the Row
menu, choose Reject Status.
• Reject Status
Field Explanation
Order Type A user defined code (00/DT) that identifies the type of
document. This code also indicates the origin of the
transaction. J.D. Edwards has reserved document type
codes for vouchers, invoices, receipts, and time sheets,
which create automatic offset entries during the post
program. (These entries are not self-balancing when you
originally enter them.)
The following document types are defined by J.D. Edwards
and should not be changed:
P Accounts Payable documents
R Accounts Receivable documents
T Payroll documents
I Inventory documents
O Purchase Order Processing documents
J General Accounting/Joint Interest Billing
documents
S Sales Order Processing documents
OS Subcontract
OP Purchase Order
R2 Contract Billing
................................Form-specific information.................................
Enter the work order document type for which these rules
apply.
WO Type A user defined code (00/TY) that indicates the
classification of a work order or engineering change order.
You can use work order type as a selection criterion for
work order approvals.
WO Status A user defined code (system 00, type SS) that describes the
status of a work order.
Allowed Status 1 This is an optional field that indicates a status that can be
assigned as the next step in the order process. Although this
is not the preferred or expected next step, this status is an
allowed override. The system does not allow you to initiate
an order line step or status that is not defined as either the
expected next status or an allowed status. Other allowed
status codes let you bypass processing steps. In processing
options, these codes are often referred to as override next
status codes.
You must define a status code as a work order status in the
Work Order Activity Rules table before you can use it as a
next status or another allowed status.
Field Explanation
Subledger Inactive A code in WorldSoftware or an option in OneWorld that
indicates whether a specific subledger is active or inactive.
Any value other than blank indicates that a subledger is
inactive. Examples are jobs that are closed, employees that
have been terminated, or assets that have been disposed. If
a subledger becomes active again, set this field back to
blank.
If you want to use subledger information in the tables for
reports but want to prevent transactions from posting to
the master record, enter a value other than blank in this
field.
Maint. Status A user defined code (12/MS) that indicates the
maintenance status of a piece of equipment, such as 50 for
maintenance due or 60 for waiting for parts.
Note: Status code 98 is reserved for canceled maintenance.
Status code 99 is reserved for completed maintenance.
Status code 01, the default, is reserved for initial
maintenance setup.
Lock Flag A code that determines whether a work order can be
changed at a particular status. The lock applies to records in
both the Work Order Master table (F4801) and the Work
Order Instruction table (F4802). Values are:
Blank Do not lock the work order.
1 Lock the work order.
2 Lock the work order with a completion date.
3 Do not lock the work order with a completion
date.
Reject Status The status that the work order will default to if an approver
rejects a work order.
You can set up a variety of approval routes for all of the individuals who need to
receive notification that a work order requires their approval. You use address
book numbers of the individuals responsible for the approval of a work order to
include them in an approval route. You can also establish specific approval routes
based on the following:
• Organizational structure
• Work order amount
From the Workflow Management Setup menu (G0241), choose Group Revisions.
3. For each individual responsible for approval of work orders in this route,
complete the following fields:
• Address Number
• Alpha Name
4. Complete the following optional fields for each approver and click OK:
• Name - Remark
• Escalation Hours/Minutes
Field Explanation
Parent Number The address book number of the parent company. The
system uses this number to associate a particular address
with a parent company or location. For example:
• Subsidiaries with parent companies
• Branches with a home office
• Job sites with a general contractor
This address must exist in the Address Book Master table
(F0101) for validation purposes. Any value you enter in this
field updates the Address Book Organizational/Structure
table (F0150) for the blank structure type.
The value you enter in the Parent Number field updates the
Address Organization Structure Master table (F0150) if the
Structure Type field is blank.
................................Form-specific information.................................
The Address Book number of the primary level in a
hierarchy, or reporting relationship. A parent in one
hierarchy can be a child in another hierarchy. A hierarchy
can be organized by business unit, employee, or position.
For example, you can create a hierarchy that shows the
reporting relationships between employees and supervisors.
Structure Type A user defined code (01/TS) that identifies a type of
organizational structure that has its own hierarchy in the
Address Book system (for example, e-mail).
When you create a parent/child relationship for the
Accounts Receivable system, the structure type must be
blank.
................................Form-specific information.................................
Identifies the type of distribution list, such as WFS for
workflow, ORG for group, and EML for e-mail.
Address Number A number that identifies an entry in the Address Book
system. Use this number to identify employees, applicants,
participants, customers, suppliers, tenants, a location, and
any other address book members.
Alpha Name A user defined name or remark.
Remark A generic field that you use for a remark, description, name,
or address.
Begin Eff Date The date on which the address number appears in the
structure. The Beginning Effective Date field prevents the
address number from occurring in the structure until the
beginning effective date is the same as the current date. If
left blank, the address number always occurs in a structure
unless there is an ending effective date.
Field Explanation
End Eff Date The date on which the address book record will cease to
exist in the structure.
Escalation Hours The amount of time that must elapse before a message is
escalated.
You must set up profiles for all of your designated work order approvers. The
system uses the approver’s address book number to send electronic mail messages
associated with work order approvals and to define the work order approval
routing.
When an approver enters a password to complete the approval process, the system
validates the password against the approver’s user ID number. The system uses the
User ID number to verify that the address book number is valid for the approver.
From the System Administration Tools menu (GH9011) choose User Profiles.
• User ID
• Address Number
You can set up standard parts lists and standard work order instructions for work
orders. You use a standard parts list when the maintenance task for which the
work order applies is routine and repetitive and when you have advance knowledge
of the parts requirements.
You can set up as many standard parts lists and standard work order instructions
as you need. In addition, you can use a standard parts list or a version of standard
work order instructions on as many work orders as you need. Typically, you assign
standard parts lists and standard work order instructions to model work orders, but
you can also use information from standard parts lists and standard work order
instructions to create parts lists and routing instructions that you can attach to
corrective work orders.
The following graphic shows how the system uses information from a standard
parts list and standard work order instructions to generate a parts list and labor
routing instructions for a work order that is assigned to a specific maintenance
task:
A
Model Work
Order
Additional
Model Work
Orders
Update Preventive
Maintenance Status
B C
Assigned
Work Order
You can use standard parts lists and standard work order instructions for as
A many model work orders as you need.
Parts information for the assigned work order comes from the model work
B order. The system copies information from the standard parts list to the parts list
that is attached to the assigned work order.
Routing instructions for the assigned work order come from the model work
C order. The system copies the standard work order instructions to the routing
instructions that are attached to the assigned work order.
Setting up standard parts lists and standard work order instructions consists of the
following tasks:
You can create standard parts lists that you can attach to work orders. This is
especially useful when you have routine maintenance tasks that require identical
parts.
For example, for a particular piece of equipment, you overhaul the hydraulic
assembly every 250 hours. Because the overhaul procedure requires the same
repair kit, you would set up a standard parts list that includes all of the parts
necessary to overhaul the hydraulic assembly.
GVerify that you have purchased and installed the following systems. You
must have installed these systems to be able to set up a standard parts list.
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose Standard Parts List.
1. On Work With Bill of Material, complete the following fields and click Find:
• Branch
• Item Number
2. Choose the record and then choose BOM Revision from the Row menu.
• Type of Bill
4. For each component part, complete the following fields in the detail portion
of the form:
• Item Number
5. Complete any of the following optional fields for each component part and
click OK:
• Unit of Measure
• Line Type
Field Explanation
Batch Quantity The quantity of finished units that you expect this bill of
material or routing to produce. You can specify varying
quantities of components based on the amount of finished
goods produced. For example, 1 ounce of solvent is
required per unit up to 100 units of finished product.
However, if 200 units of finished product is produced, 2
ounces of solvent are required per finished unit. In this
example you would set up batch quantities for 100 and 200
units of finished product, specifying the proper amount of
solvent per unit.
Type of Bill A user defined code (40/TB) that designates the type of bill
of material. You can define different types of bills of
material for different uses. For example, you can
differentiate between bills of material for maintenance and
manufacturing.
The system enters bill type M in the work order header
when you create a work order, unless you specify another
bill type. The system reads the bill type code on the work
order header to know which bill of material to use to create
the work order parts list. MRP uses the bill type code to
identify the bill of material to use when it attaches MRP
messages. Batch bills of material must be type M for shop
floor management, product costing, and MRP processing.
Field Explanation
Item Rev. Level A value that indicates the revision level of a bill of material.
It is usually used in conjunction with an engineering change
notice or engineering change order. The revision level of
the bill of material should match the revision level of its
associated routing, although the system does not check this.
This value is defined and maintained by the user.
Quantity The number of units that the system applies to the
transaction.
................................Form-specific information.................................
A number that indicates how many components you use to
manufacture the parent item. A quantity of zero is valid.
The default value is 1.
UM A user defined code (00/UM) that identifies the unit of
measurement for an amount or quantity. For example, it
can represent a barrel, box, cubic meter, liter, hour, and so
on.
FV A code that indicates if the quantity per assembly for an
item on the bill of material varies according to the quantity
of the parent item produced or is fixed regardless of the
parent quantity. This value also determines if the
component quantity is a percent of the parent quantity.
Valid values are:
F Fixed Quantity
V Variable Quantity (default)
% Quantities are expressed as a percentage and must
total 100%
For fixed-quantity components, the Work Order and
Material Requirements Planning systems do not extend the
component’s quantity per assembly value by the order
quantity.
Is Cd A code that indicates how the system issues each
component in the bill of material from stock. In Shop Floor
Management, it indicates how the system issues a part to a
work order. Valid values are:
I Manual issue
F Floor stock (there is no issue)
B Backflush (when the part is reported as complete)
P Preflush (when the parts list is generated)
U Super backflush (at the pay-point operation)
S Sub-contract item (send to supplier)
Blank Shippable end item
You can issue a component in more than one way within a
specific branch/plant by using different codes on the bill of
material and the work order parts list. The bill of material
code overrides the branch/plant value.
Field Explanation
Ln Ty A code that controls how the system processes lines on a
transaction. It controls the systems with which the
transaction interfaces, such as General Ledger, Job Cost,
Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Inventory
Management. It also specifies the conditions under which a
line prints on reports and is included in calculations. Codes
include the following:
S Stock item
J Job cost
N Nonstock item
F Freight
T Text information
M Miscellaneous charges and credits
W Work order
Oper Seq# A number used to indicate an order of succession.
In routing instructions, a number that sequences the
fabrication or assembly steps in the manufacture of an item.
You can track costs and charge time by operation.
In bills of material, a number that designates the routing
step in the fabrication or assembly process that requires a
specified component part. You define the operation
sequence after you create the routing instructions for the
item. The Shop Floor Management system uses this
number in the backflush/preflush by operation process.
In engineering change orders, a number that sequences the
assembly steps for the engineering change.
For repetitive manufacturing, a number that identifies the
sequence in which an item is scheduled to be produced.
Skip To fields allow you to enter an operation sequence that
you want to begin the display of information.
You can use decimals to add steps between existing steps.
For example, use 12.5 to add a step between steps 12 and
13.

• Entering Production Information in the Product Data Management Guide for the
processing options for this program
You can create standard work order instructions that establish labor routing steps
for work orders. For example, assume that you have created a standard parts list
for routine hydraulic maintenance. The hydraulic maintenance has multiple steps
that must be performed in a specific sequence, such as machine lockout,
disconnect motor, and so on. In addition, some of the steps must be performed by
different work centers (crafts), such as electrical, mechanical, and so on. For this
task, you would create standard work order instructions that specify the work
centers and sequence of operations necessary to install the parts. You can then
attach the instructions to each actual (firm) work order created for hydraulic
maintenance.
GVerify that you have purchased and installed the following systems. You
must have installed these systems to be able to set up standard work order
instructions:

Field Explanation
Work Center An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity
within a business for which you want to track costs. For
example, a business unit might be a warehouse location,
job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed
asset, employee, and so on, for purposes of responsibility
reporting. For example, the system provides reports of
open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business
units to track equipment by responsible department.
Security for this field can prevent you from locating
business units for which you have no authority.
Note: The system uses the job number for journal entries if
you do not enter a value in the AAI table.
................................Form-specific information.................................
For Product Costing, this is the work center from which
costs are retrieved.
For Equipment users, this is the craft or resource
responsible for completing the maintenance activity.
Manufacturing Accounting does not support journal entries
by work center.
Field Explanation
Oper Seq# A number used to indicate an order of succession.
In routing instructions, a number that sequences the
fabrication or assembly steps in the manufacture of an item.
You can track costs and charge time by operation.
In bills of material, a number that designates the routing
step in the fabrication or assembly process that requires a
specified component part. You define the operation
sequence after you create the routing instructions for the
item. The Shop Floor Management system uses this
number in the backflush/preflush by operation process.
In engineering change orders, a number that sequences the
assembly steps for the engineering change.
For repetitive manufacturing, a number that identifies the
sequence in which an item is scheduled to be produced.
Skip To fields allow you to enter an operation sequence that
you want to begin the display of information.
You can use decimals to add steps between existing steps.
For example, use 12.5 to add a step between steps 12 and
13.
Description A description can be:
• Brief information about an item
• A remark
• An explanation
Run Labor The standard hours of labor that you expect to incur in the
normal production of this item.
The run labor hours in the Routing Master table (F3003)
are the total hours that it takes the specified crew size to
complete the operation. The hours are multiplied by the
crew size during shop floor release and product costing.
................................Form-specific information.................................
For Equipment/Plant:
This is the estimated number of hours needed to complete
a maintenance activity.
Queue Hours The total hours that an order is expected to be in queue at
work centers and moving between work centers.
The system stores this value in the Item Branch table
(F4102). You can calculate this value using the Leadtime
Rollup program or you can enter it manually. When you run
the Leadtime Rollup program, the system overrides manual
entries and populates the table with calculated values.
Field Explanation
Move Hours The planned hours that are required to move the order
from this operation to the next operation in the same work
center.
If the Routing Master values are blank, the system retrieves
the default value from the work order routing. However,
the system uses these values only for backscheduling
variable leadtime items.
Line/Cell A number that defines a production line or cell. Detailed
work center operations can be defined inside the line or
cell.
Crew Size The number of people who work in the specified work
center or routing operation.
The system multiplies the Run Labor value in the Routing
Master table (F3003) by crew size during costing to
generate total labor amounts.
If the Prime Load Code is L or B, the system uses the total
labor hours for backscheduling. If the Prime Load Code is
C or M, the system uses the total machine hours for
backscheduling without modification by crew size.
................................Form-specific information.................................
For Shop Floor Management:
The Crew Size field on the Work Order Routing form
contains the value entered on the Work Center Revision
form (P3006). You can override the value by changing this
field on the Work Order Routing form. However, the Work
Center Revision form will not reflect this change.
Supplier The address book number of the preferred provider of this
item.
You can enter the number for the supplier or you can have
the system enter it each time that you receive the item from
a supplier. You specify whether the system enters the
supplier using processing options for Enter Receipts.
Field Explanation
Cost Type A code that designates each element of cost for an item. An
example of the coding structure is as follows:
A1 Purchased raw material
B1 Direct labor routing rollup
B2 Setup labor routing rollup
C1 Variable burden routing rollup
C2 Fixed burden routing rollup
Dx Outside operation routing rollup
Xx Extra add-ons, such as electricity and water
The optional add-on computations usually operate with the
type Xx extra add-ons. This cost structure allows you to use
an unlimited number of cost components to calculate
alternative cost rollups. The system then associates these
cost components with one of six user defined summary
cost buckets.
Craft Code A user defined code (07/G) that defines the jobs within
your organization. You can associate pay and benefit
information with a job type and apply that information to
the employees who are linked to that job type.
PO (Y/N) Determines if the Work Order Generation program
(P31410) creates a purchase order for a subcontracted
operation within a routing. Valid values are:

Many of the forms within the Work Order Processing system require that you
specify a location, such as a branch or plant, to which you are assigned. You can
set up default locations for each person in your organization who uses the Work
Order Processing system. A default location is the branch/plant that is assigned to
your user ID or terminal ID. If you do not set up a default location for your user
ID or terminal ID, you must enter a location manually.
You can also assign a default print queue to each person who uses the Work Order
Processing system. When you print a work order, the system uses the default print
queue that you set up, unless you specify otherwise. If you do not assign a default
print queue, the system uses either the print queue assigned in the particular
version for which the Work Order Print program applies or the print queue
assigned to your user profile.
From the Inventory System Setup menu (G4141), choose Default Location and
Printers.
1. On Work With Default Location and Printers, click Add to access Default
Location and Approval.
• Terminal/User ID
• Branch/Plant
4. On Default Print Queues, complete the following field for each document
for which you want to assign a default print queue and click OK:
• Output Queue
To balance your parts inventory with the demand for parts created by maintenance
work orders, you must set up supply and demand inclusion rules. You use supply
and demand inclusion rules to specify the documents that create a supply for parts,
such as purchase requests, and the documents that create a demand for parts, such
as PM work orders, corrective work orders, and so on. In addition, you specify the
statuses at which the various documents create supplies or demands.
Materials Requirements You can set up and apply different versions of the supply
Planning (MRP) and demand inclusion rules, depending on the type of
material plan that you run. For example, you can set up one
version of the rules to apply to a long-range material plan
and another version to apply to a short-range material plan.
Capacity Requirements You can set up and apply different versions of the supply
Planning and demand inclusion rules, depending on the type of
capacity plan you run. For example, you can set up one
version of the rules to apply to a long-range capacity plan
and another version to apply to a short-range capacity plan.
Supply/Demand Inquiry Based on the version of the supply and demand inclusion
rules you choose, all of the documents that create a supply
or demand for a particular part appear on Supply/Demand
Inquiry. You can then access documents and make
revisions to balance the supply with the demand.
• Purchase requests
• Purchase orders
• Blanket purchase orders
In Equipment/Plant Maintenance, the following document types create a demand
for parts:
When you review a version of the supply and demand inclusion rules, the system
displays all document types and related statuses that are available. You choose the
document types and document statuses that you want to include in the version.
Document types for which inclusion rules currently apply appear in a contrasting
color. For review purposes, you can specify that the system only display document
types for which inclusion rules currently apply.
GSet processing options to include work order document types WO, WM,
and any other work order document types that you have defined. See
Understanding User Defined Codes for more information about defining work
order document types.
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules.
• Version
2. Choose each record that includes the order type and line status for which
you want the inclusion rules to apply and click Select.
When you apply inclusion rules to work order documents, line types do not
appear. Line types are not applicable to the Work Order system.
Field Explanation
Rule Version A user defined code (40/RV) that identifies an inclusion
rule that you want the system to use for this branch/plant.
The Manufacturing and Warehouse Management systems
use inclusion rules as follows:
• For Manufacturing:
Allows multiple versions of resource rules for
running MPS, MRP, or DRP.
• For Warehouse Management:
Allows multiple versions of inclusion rules for
running putaway and picking. The system
processes only those order lines that match the
inclusion rule for a specified branch/plant.
If you leave this field blank, the system does not update the
capacity plan when you create a work order or change the
status of a work order.
Before the system can generate material and labor plans and create planning
messages, you must define general planning information for each branch or plant
in your organization. General planning information determines how the system
commits inventory to the branch or plant, which work days to include when you
generate a material or capacity plan, how the system processes changes to standard
parts lists, and so on.
You must define material and resource planning values for each branch or plant.
For example, you can specify rules that govern how the system commits and
routes inventory. You can also specify that the system log changes you make to
standard parts lists if you need to track the changes. You can also define the
number of hours per day that each branch or plant operates. The system uses this
information to determine the maximum workload for each work center in a branch
or plant.
• Branch
4. To specify the work hours per day, complete the following fields for each
maintenance shift on the Shifts tab:
• Hours
• Shift Code
5. Under the Hard/Soft Commit heading, click one of the following options
on the Commitment Control Tab and then click OK:
• Hard/Soft Commit
• Hard/Soft Commit
• Hard/Soft Commit
Field Explanation
Log Bill of Material A code that determines whether changes to the bill of
material are recorded in the Bill of Material Change table
(F3011). When you log bill of material changes, the system
saves the old bill of material and the new changed bill of
material.
For World:
Valid values are:
Y Yes, log changes.
N No, do not log changes.
Blank The system assigns a default value of N.
For OneWorld:
To record changes to the bill of material, click the Log Bill
of Material option under the BOM/Routing Options
heading. If you do not click Log Bill of Material, the
program does not record changes.
Field Explanation
On-Line BOM Validation An option that determines whether the system performs an
online component or parent validation and low-level code
assignment when you revise a bill of material.
J.D. Edwards recommends that you validate items online
unless your bills of material are extremely large. If you
choose not to validate items online, you must validate the
items in batch. Run the Print Integrity Analysis program
(P30601) after updates to the bill of material and before you
run the Frozen Cost Update program (P30835) or perform
a DRP/MPS/MRP generation (P3482).
For World:
Valid values are:
Y Yes, validate items online.
N No, do not validate items online.
For OneWorld:
To specify that the system validates items online, click the
On-Line BOM Validation option under the BOM/Routing
Options heading. If you do not click the On-Line BOM
Validation option, the system does not validate items
online.
You must set up workday calendars for each maintenance branch or plant. You use
the calendar to specify which days are workdays, holidays, and so on. You need to
set up a workday calendar for every month for which you want to generate parts
and labor plans. The system uses workday calendar information to plan and
schedule labor resources, based on the workdays you specify. You should set up
calendars six months to a year at a time.
When you initially set up a workday calendar, the system automatically specifies all
weekdays as workdays and all Saturdays and Sundays as non-work days. You can
accept these values or change the days to suit your business needs.
From the Planning Setup menu, (G1346), choose Work Day Calendar.
1. On Work With Work Day Calendar, complete the following fields and click
Add to access Work Day Calendar Revisions.
• Branch
• Calendar Month
2. On Work Day Calendar Revisions, enter a valid day type on the entry
calendar for each day that you want to set up.
J.D. Edwards provides several predefined day type codes (00/DT). With the
exception of Workday (W), which is hard coded, you can use these codes,
revise them, or add new ones.
Technical Considerations
be written.
Before you can generate and review a parts plan, you must set up information that
the system uses to process the plan. For example, you must set up a table of user
defined quantity types that the system uses to calculate and display the supply and
demand of parts. You must also specify the action messages that you want to
appear when the system detects a conflict between the availability and the demand
for a part.
In addition, you can set up different versions of the supply and demand inclusion
rules to accommodate different types of parts plans that you want to generate. For
example, you can generate a long-range parts plan and a short-range parts plan.
You use supply and demand inclusion rules to specify the document types that you
want the system to include when it processes each plan.
Before you can use the parts planning features in Equipment/Plant Maintenance,
you must set up the following user defined codes:
• Quantity types
• MRP calculation display
• MRP action messages
The system uses these codes to calculate and display the availability of parts. The
system also uses these codes to determine which action messages to display when
it detects a conflict between the availability and the demand for a part.
See Also
Quantity Types
Quantity types are user defined codes (34/QT) that represent the availability of
parts. J.D. Edwards provides several predefined codes, including the following:
Caution: The table for quantity types is shared with other manufacturing systems.
Under no circumstances should you delete this table. Values within this table have
special meaning to the system, but you can change the description fields. J.D.
Edwards recommends that you leave this table unaltered.
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose MRP Calculation Display
You must set up the MRP Calculation Display table (34/MM) with the quantity
type codes that you want the system to consider when it calculates the availability
of a part. You can revise the codes in this table to meet your specific calculation or
display purposes.
For example, you can set up a table to specify that the system do the following:
Specifying a default MRP You can use processing options to specify which version of
calculation display table the MRP calculation display table that the system uses. The
maintenance material planning version of the MRP
calculation display table appears unless you specify
otherwise.
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose MPS/MRP Action Messages.
You must define the action messages that you want to appear when the system
notifies you of parts planning conflicts. For example, depending on the severity of
a parts shortage, you can direct the system to provide messages to place an order
for a part, expedite an existing order, increase the quantity of an existing order, and
so on.
The system stores MRP action message codes in user defined codes (34/MT). You
can change the description of the codes to meet your business needs.
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules.
You typically use the same version of supply and demand inclusion rules that you
set up for work orders. However, you can set up other versions of the supply and
demand inclusion rules to accommodate your parts planning needs. You use
supply and demand inclusion rules to specify the documents that create a supply
for parts, such as purchase requests, and the documents that create a demand for
parts, such as work orders. In addition, you specify the statuses at which the
various documents create supplies or demands.
When you generate a parts plan, the system considers only the documents you that
specify in the inclusion rules when it calculates parts availability. For example, you
can set up a version of the supply and demand inclusion rules that includes all
purchase orders, regardless of status, but only PM work orders up to and including
a status of MC (work order in planning.)
Using this example, the system calculates supply according to parts for which any
purchase orders exist. The system calculates demand according to the parts
requirements of PM work orders with statuses within the range that you specified.
The system does not take into consideration parts requirements for work orders
with unspecified status in the inclusion rules.

• Setting Up Supply and Demand Inclusion Rules for additional guidelines for
setting up inclusion rules
Before you can generate and review a labor plan, you must set up information that
the system uses to process the plan. For example, you must set up the work
centers that are responsible for maintenance and specify the number of employees
in each maintenance work center. You must also set up additional user defined
codes, such as the codes that the system uses to calculate the availability of labor
resources.
In addition, you can set up different versions of the supply and demand inclusion
rules to accommodate different types of labor plans that you want to generate. For
example, you can generate a long-range labor plan and a short-range labor plan.
You use supply and demand inclusion rules to specify the document types that you
want the system to include when it processes each plan.
You must set up resource units to enable the system to calculate labor demands
and labor costs for maintenance tasks. The system calculates resource units by
multiplying the work hours per day by the number of employees in a work center.
In Equipment/Plant Maintenance, a work center usually represents the employees
who perform maintenance work, although it can also represent a department or a
machine. You must set up your work centers before the system can calculate
resource units and labor costs.
In addition, you must establish standard labor rates. The system uses standard
labor rates to calculate rate information on work order labor routings and on the
work order Estimate to Actual Variance program.
GSet up workday calendars for each branch or plant. See Setting Up the
Workday Calendar.
You must provide the system with the following types of information about each
of your maintenance work centers:
• Basic information, such as work center names, crew sizes, job processing
time, and so on
• Grouping information, so that you can combine similar work centers for
planning and reporting
• Labor rate information
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose Work Center Revision.
• Work Center
• Dispatch Group
• Location Branch
• Number of Employees
• Prime Load
• Critical W/C
• Efficiency
8. On Work Center Rate Revisions, complete the following fields and click
OK:
• Business Unit
• Cost Method
Field Explanation
Work Center An alphanumeric field that identifies a separate entity
within a business for which you want to track costs. For
example, a business unit might be a warehouse location,
job, project, work center, branch, or plant.
You can assign a business unit to a voucher, invoice, fixed
asset, employee, and so on, for purposes of responsibility
reporting. For example, the system provides reports of
open accounts payable and accounts receivable by business
units to track equipment by responsible department.
Security for this field can prevent you from locating
business units for which you have no authority.
Note: The system uses the job number for journal entries if
you do not enter a value in the AAI table.
Dispatch Group A category code used to group work centers within an
overall business unit. For example, you can use this code to
group similar machines operating out of several work
centers that report to one business unit.
Field Explanation
Location Branch A code that represents a high-level business unit. Use this
code to refer to a branch or plant that might have
departments or jobs, which represent lower-level business
units, subordinate to it. For example:
• Branch/Plant (MMCU)
• Dept A (MCU)
• Dept B (MCU)
• Job 123 (MCU)
Business unit security is based on the higher-level business
unit.
Number of Employees The normal number of employees in this work center.
When you run the Work Center Resource Units Refresh
program, the system multiplies this number by the Number
of Work Hours Per Day from the Manufacturing Constants
table (F3009) to generate the total gross labor hours
available in the work center each day.
Prime Load A code that determines if a work center is machine or labor
intensive. The system also uses prime load codes in
Resource Requirements Planning and Capacity
Requirements Planning calculations to develop load
profiles.
Valid codes are:
L Run labor hours only
M Machine hours only
B Run labor plus setup labor hours
C Machine plus setup hours
O Other (will not generate resource units)
Critical W/C A code that indicates whether the work center is critical or
not critical when the system calculates capacity. Valid values
are:
N Not a critical work center.
1 A critical work center in calculating RRP only.
2 A critical work center in calculating RCCP and
CRP.
3 A critical work center in calculating RRP, RCCP,
and CRP. The system also displays Type 3 work
centers when you select Type 1 or Type 2 in this
field.
4 Not a capacity work center. The system does not
include this work center in capacity planning.
Note: The data selection is a system feature that processes
certain groups of information with the CRP and RCCP
programs.
Field Explanation
Efficiency A user defined value that indicates how efficiently a work
center operates. This value usually refers to staff efficiency.
When you enter a value in this field, and the Modify Cost
by Work Center Efficiency field in the Job Shop
Manufacturing Constants table (F3009) is set to Y, the
system creates a new cost component (B4) from the cost
calculated from the direct labor cost (B1).
For example, if the constant is set to Y, the value of this
field is 80%, and the direct labor cost is 10, the system
creates a B4 cost component for 2 in the Item Cost
Component Add-Ons table (F30026).
The Refresh Resource Units program also uses this value as
a default when calculating rated capacity.
Enter percents as whole numbers. For example, enter 80%
as 80.00.
Note: The system expects that the routing times entered for
each operator are the actual times it takes to complete an
operation. Efficiency does not affect total cost. Efficiency
does reassign some of the costs into different cost
components. Efficiency does not change the duration or
backscheduling of a work order.
Cost Method A user defined code (40/CM) that identifies a cost method.
Use cost methods to indicate the method for the system to
use. Cost methods 01 through 19 are reserved for J.D.
Edwards use.
Direct Labor A rate, in cost per person per hour, that the system uses
with the Run Labor hours of the associated routing to
calculate the standard run labor cost.
Versions
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose Work Center Resource Units
Generation.
After you set up work centers and whenever you revise work center information,
you must run the Work Center Resource Units Refresh program to calculate
available resource units. You specify a time period and a branch or plant for which
you want the system to calculate resource units. The system uses the Prime Load
Code field on Work Center Master Revisions to determine how to calculate the
resource units that a work center is capable of generating over a particular period
of time. To calculate resource units for maintenance work centers, you typically use
a prime load code of L for labor hours.
When you use a prime load code of L, the system calculates resource units using
the following information:

information about running, copying, and changing batch versions
• Generating Resource Units Automatically in the Manufacturing and Distribution
Guide for the processing options for this program
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose Item Cost Component-Frozen
Update.
When you set up work centers, you enter a value for simulated labor rates on Work
Center Rates Revisions. You must run the Item Cost Component-Frozen Update
program to create the frozen direct labor rate. The system uses the frozen direct
labor rate to calculate the estimated labor routing costs to work orders.

information about running, copying, and changing batch versions
• Updating Frozen Costs in the Product Costing and Manufacturing Accounting Guide
for more information about the Item Cost Component-Frozen Update
program and the processing options
Before you can use the labor planning features in Equipment/Plant Maintenance,
you must set up the following user defined codes:
• CRP display
• Message types
The system uses these codes to calculate and display labor availability when you
generate a labor plan. The system also uses these codes to determine which action
messages appear when it detects a conflict between the availability of labor
resources and demand for labor resources.
See Also
CRP Display
You must set up the CRP Display table (33/MM) with the codes that you want to
appear on Capacity Load. The system provides several predefined codes, such as:
• 10 - Released Load
• 40 - Load Versus Capacity
• 80 - Available Capacity
• 90 - Accumulated Available Capacity
You can use these codes or modify them to meet your specific calculation or
display purposes.
Message Types
You use message type codes (33/MM) to define the action messages that you want
to appear when the system notifies you of load and capacity conflicts. For example,
you can define messages that indicate an over-capacity condition, an under-
capacity condition, and so on.
From the Planning Setup menu (G1346), choose Supply/Demand Inclusion Rules.
You typically use the same version of supply and demand inclusion rules that you
set up for work orders. However, you can set up other versions of the supply and
demand inclusion rules to accommodate your labor planning needs. You use
supply and demand inclusion rules to specify what type of work orders and range
of work order statuses that you want the system to include when it calculates
available labor resources.
For example, you can set up a version of the supply and demand inclusion rules
that includes only PM work orders up to and including a status of MC (work order
in planning).
See Also
• Setting Up Supply and Demand Inclusion Rules for additional guidelines for
setting up inclusion rules
Use global update programs to make system-wide changes that affect a variety of
information within Equipment/Plant Maintenance. For example, you can do the
following:
You can update certain equipment information globally to reduce the amount of
processing time it takes to maintain current equipment information in your system
and throughout your organization.
From the Advanced Operations menu (G1331), choose Update Message Log.
Run the Update Message Log program to keep tickler dates and units current in
the message log. For example, if you set up a reminder message to appear at 3,000
miles for a piece of equipment, you use this update to ensure that the message
appears when the equipment reaches the 3,000-mile mark.
The Update Message Log program compares tickler dates with the system date and
tickler units (for example, miles or hours) to the current unit reading that you
record for the corresponding piece of equipment. The program updates all the
units that have reached or exceeded the tickler amounts that you post in the AAI
automatic accounting instruction. When the update is complete, the corresponding
equipment number on Equipment Search is highlighted to indicate that message
exists for the equipment.
Note: You should run this program only if you use the Tickler Miles/Hours field
in the message log.
When you select Update Message Log, the system submits the job directly to
batch. You should update the message log frequently to keep message tickler units
current. J.D. Edwards recommends running Update Message Log as part of your
unattended operations.
From the Advanced Operations menu (G1331), choose Update Location Code.
You can update the location of equipment from a planned location to a current
location. Run the Update Location Code program to change planned equipment
locations to current locations when the system reaches the As of date that you
specify in the processing options.
When you run Update Location Code, the system updates the following tables:
Caution: Ensure that the data selections that you make specify only the equipment
for which you want to update location information. If you are uncertain whether a
piece of equipment should be included in the update, you can review its current
and planned locations on Work With Locations.

1. As of Date ____________
You can update certain work order information globally to reduce the amount of
processing time needed to maintain current information throughout your
organization.
From the Advanced Operations menu (G1331), choose Update W/O Actual
Amounts.
Run the Update Work Order Actual Amounts program to replace the actual hours
in the Work Order Routing table (F3112) with the total hours for each operation
sequence from the Employee Transaction History table (F0618). The program also
reads the Account Ledger table for material and subcontract amounts. The
program then updates the following information in the Work Order Master table
(F4801):
From the Advanced Operations menu (G1331), choose Update WO Status Based
on PO Receipt.
You can update the status of work orders based on whether parts ordered from
associated purchase orders have been received. This action is especially useful
when scheduling work orders based on the arrival of ordered parts. You can
specify the status that the system updates work orders based on both partial and
full receipt of the items on the associated purchase order. You can also specify the
recipient of an e-mail message informing of the change in work order status.
WO Status
E-Mail Address
From the Advanced Operations menu (G1331), choose Standard Parts List
Update.
When you change a work order parts list that is based on a standard parts list, you
can update the Bill of Materials Master table (F3002) to ensure that all future work
orders using the same standard parts list will contain the revised information.
When you add a part to a work order parts list, the Standard Parts List Update
program adds the part to the standard parts list. When you change the quantity of a
part on the work order parts list, the program updates the quantity on the work
order parts list. The system compares the transaction quantity on the work order
part to the quantity indicated on the standard parts lists when it updates the
standard parts list.
You can also use the Standard Parts List Update program to update the equipment
parts list. The update program works the same way as for the standard parts list,
except that it updates the standard parts list from the Asset Master table (F1201) as
well as the the standard parts list from the Work Order Master table (F4801).
If you post work order transactions to the general ledger and then change the
equipment number of the phase code on the work order, you should run this
program to ensure that the Account Ledger table (F0911) reflects the most current
work order information. You can use this program to reflect changes to the phase
code or equipment number for multiple work orders. You can also use this
program to enter a value in the phase field on many general ledger transactions.
When you choose Update Phase/Equipment Number in the G/L, the system
submits the job directly to batch processing.
GVerify that no one accesses the Work Order Master table while you run this
procedure.
GUpdating PM schedules
Updating PM Schedules
You can globally add, change, or delete PM schedules. You specify the service type
that you want to change and enter information about the equipment for which you
want the changes to apply.
You can also make global revisions to a group of PM service types. You narrow
the list of equipment for which you want the revisions to apply by using any
combination of the first ten equipment category codes. For example, for any
service type, you can do the following:
• If you enter a schedule date, the system removes all other meter service
intervals.
• If you enter a meter service interval, the system removes the schedule date.
• If you enter a schedule date and a frequency indicator, the system removes
any existing service days.
• If you enter a schedule date and service days, the system removes the
existing frequency indicator.
2. To specify the service type that you want to update, complete the following
field and click Find:
• Service Type
Before completing an update, you can review all of the equipment that
would be updated by entering a service type and leaving the category code

You can create PM schedules for multiple pieces of equipment. This is particularly
useful when you set up your system initially or when you add multiple pieces of
identical equipment to your operation. You create PM schedules for multiple
pieces of equipment by assigning a service type to equipment that matches specific
selection criteria on Work With Global PM Schedule. You use the first ten
equipment category codes to select the equipment for which the PM schedule
applies.
Caution: When you create PM schedules for multiple pieces of equipment, the
system updates the PM schedules for all equipment that matches the equipment
category codes that you specify. If you are uncertain whether the process will affect
equipment for which you have previously created PM schedules and you do not
want the new PM information to apply, you should not use Work With Global PM
Schedule to create the PM schedules. Instead, create individual PM schedules using

This appendix contains important information that you need if you use the
Inventory Management system to manage parts inventories.
You can plan for future parts needs by reviewing information that the system
provides about parts and part quantities. For example, you can monitor quantity
information about how many parts are on demand, available in supply, and
available to be promised. To use quantity information to determine your current
and future inventory needs, you need to understand the following concepts.
Stocking Types
Stock parts The most vital parts for which you know there is a
predictable demand, such as parts required for routinely
scheduled maintenance tasks. Typically, you want to keep a
physical inventory of these parts.
Pseudo nonstock parts Parts for which you do not need to keep a physical on-hand
quantity, such as parts required for future maintenance
tasks or parts that are easily and quickly acquired. Typically
you don’t want to keep a physical inventory of such parts.
However, you want to maintain inventory records to assist
in planning and to simplify purchasing. You can set up
pseudo nonstock parts with an inventory master record and
indicate an on-hand quantity of zero.
Nonstock parts Parts for which you rarely have a need and for which you
do not need an inventory master.
On-hand quantity refers to the number of parts that are physically in stock in the
primary unit of measure. On-hand quantity of parts can be affected by the
following:
For example, you can set up the availability calculation to subtract any quantities
that are committed to work orders, and add any quantities that are on purchase
orders or in transit.
Commitments
When you set up general planning constants, you can specify whether the system
uses hard or soft commitments to commit parts to a work order.
When you specify hard commitment, the system does the following:
• Does not indicate an actual reduction in inventory at the point that the
maintenance task creates a demand for the part
• Does not specify a location from which to remove the part
The following graphic illustrates shows how the Inventory Management system
commits inventory:
Primary Location
Fill Order
for 125 Items
75 Items Items
75 Items
Pulls from the primary
location until the
supply is depleted
50 Items
Secondary Location
125 Items
25 Items
Secondary Location
50 Items Items
The system uses supply and demand inclusion rules to calculate the supply and
demand quantities for an inventory part. Unlike a manufacturing environment
where work orders create a supply of parts or materials, work orders in a
maintenance environment create a demand for parts.
Starting with the requested date on the work order parts list, the system calculates
the demand quantity from the following sources:
• Work order requirements and parts lists - The quantity required minus the
quantity issued
• Safety stock - Any quantity reserved as protection against fluctuations in
demand and supply
Starting with the requested date on purchase orders, the system calculates the
supply quantity from the following sources:
• Manufacturing systems use the bill of material to create a parts list for a
work order. When you create a work order, you are preparing to produce a
product. The parts list indicates the material and quantity that you will need.
• Distribution systems use the bill of material to locate and assemble a group
of items.
You must complete the following fields for each maintenance part that needs a
master record.
Note: The values that you enter in these fields will be default values in the same
fields on the Item/Branch Plant Information form.
Stocking Type A user defined code that indicates how a part is normally
stocked.
G/L Class A user defined code that controls which general ledger
accounts receive the monetary amount of inventory
transactions for this item.
• Planner Number
• Buyer Number
• Master Planning Family
The Planner Number and Buyer Number fields are located on the Item Master
form, as well as the Item/Branch Plant Information form. The Master Planning
Family field is located on the Category Codes form and is discussed later in this
appendix.
Planner Number The address number of the material planner for a part.
Buyer Number The address number of the person responsible for setting
up and maintaining the correct stocking levels for inventory
parts.
You must enter a value in the Supplier field on the Item/Branch Plant Information
form for each part. You can access this form either from Work With Item Master
or Work With Item Branch.
From the Work With Item Master form in the Inventory Management system, you
can access the Additional System Information form. You must complete the
following fields on this form to specify the rules by which the system plans for,
orders, and issues parts.
Order Policy Code A code that designates the rules for reordering in the
Requirements Planning system.
Issue Type Code A code that defines how each item in the bill of material is
issued from stock.
Planning Code A code that indicates how the system processes this item.
Time Basis A code that identifies the time basis or rate to use for setup,
machine, or labor hours entered for any routing step.
To aid in parts planning and inquiry functions, you can assign each part to a master
planning family. If you did not enter a planner number or a buyer number on
either Item Master Revisions or Item/Branch Plant Information, you must enter a
value for the master planning family.
Master Planning Family A code under which you can organize logically-related
parts. For example, you can organize parts by type, location,
machine, and so on.
The following Inventory Management setup tasks have special implications for
Equipment/Plant Maintenance users:
When you set up constants for each branch or plant, you should enter values in the
following fields to ensure that inventory transactions create journal entries in the
general ledger. In addition, you can specify a description for inventory transactions.
General Ledger Depending on your reporting needs, you can specify the
Explanation description that appears on the second line of the general
ledger journal entry for inventory transactions:
Write Units to Journal Depending on your reporting needs, you can specify that
Entries the system enters both amounts and units for inventory
transactions on the Account Ledger table (F0911).
When setting up stocking type codes do not use hard-coded stocking types.
Instead, create your own stocking type and enter a M or P in the second
description line. Do not enter a K (Kit). This code is reserved for sales order
processing.
Note: You can use the hard coded stocking types if you are actually using the parts
for their intended purpose.
Line types control how parts transactions interface with the General Ledger and
the Inventory Management system. Specifically, the line type that you assign to a
part is a code that does the following:
• Controls which of four systems with which the transaction interfaces, such
as General Ledger, Inventory Management, Accounts Receivable, and
Accounts Payable
• Specifies the conditions for printing a line on reports
• Specifies the conditions for including a line in calculations
You set up line types in the Procurement system. Depending on your planning and
reporting needs, you might need to set up an additional line type to differentiate
pseudo nonstock part transactions from genuine nonstock part transactions.
Caution: You should be thoroughly familiar with order line types before you add
or modify them. Extreme damage to your system can occur if you do not set up
order line types with precision and logic.
See Also
G/L Interface An option that indicates whether the system reflects the
monetary or unit value of any activity containing this order
line type in the general ledger.
Inventory Interface A code that identifies the type of interface to the Inventory
Management system. Valid codes are:
B - The system edits the item and the G/L account when
using format 4 in purchase order entry. The system
retrieves price data from the inventory tables, but the
system does not update the quantity on the purchase order.
This code is valid only when the Interface with G/L code is
set to Y (yes). Budget checking is fully functional with this
interface type.
