When an operator displays a list of queueing operations for a machine, FIS queries your ERP system for that list.

After the operator has selected the operation he wishes to start, FIS imports the manufacturing information for the part, and the works order details.

The advantage of this method of importing works orders is that the operator always sees the very latest information from your ERP system.  It is not possible to open a works order which has been deleted in your ERP system.

In order to use this scheme, FIS must be able to make live queries for works order information in your ERP database.

You cannot use this scheme if you intend to use the FIS Finite capacity planning module, because FIS needs to know about works orders before they are opened in order to plan them.

The alternative method is Live import works orders.

Features

Scheduled sales orders

A scheduled sales order specifies not only the quantity of parts which the customer requires, but also the delivery address and date on which they must be delivered.

A sales order line in FIS records the customer, part number, quantity required, delivery address and due date.  You can therefore record scheduled sales orders in FIS.

You can have more than one part on a sales order, or have one sales order per part, depending on how your customer likes to send you schedules.

When you change a line on a sales order, FIS automatically keeps a history of the changes you have made.  This gives you evidence to confront customers who change their schedules at the last minute.

You can record a schedule number on the sales order header, so that you can link the current schedule with paperwork received from the customer.

Scheduled sales orders do not close automatically when all lines have been delivered.  This allows the customer to schedule no parts on an order for a while, and then restart demand without your needing to to anything special.
