I work in a manufacturing environment that requires production work orders to be split for validations, new tooling runs, qualifications that were not originally planned for. The problem is that I don’t see the functionality that allows me to split a production order. The worst part is that we have to link our SO’s to the production orders when created for lot tracing.
Every time I get a request for splitting, in order to keep the linking correct, I have to go all the way back to the original Sales Order and make changes, and so on...
Reduce the original sales order line
Create new lines for the split qty’s
Mark those new lines for production
Generate new production orders
Print new production tickets
Reduce the production order and print a new ticket
When shipping, this then creates additional work as now they have several lines instead of 1 line int he sales order.
I was wondering if I missed this functionality or maybe someone has a similar problem and came up with a less time-consuming solution? We manufacture medical products, so lot and traceability is important, having to create new/additional/separate lots and make so many changes can be cause for mistakes. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
