Using the Find Window for Component Picking

arrow icon   To query jobs or schedules for component picking:

  1. Navigate to the Component Pick Release window.

    The Find window displays fields pertaining to the specific job or schedule type. Select query criteria. You can combine or omit criteria as required.

    Discrete Jobs: You can query by range of jobs, operations, schedule groups, build sequences, lines, and material requirement dates. If you are using Oracle Projects or Project Manufacturing, you can search by project number and task number. You can also search using assembly number and sales order information. See: Defining Discrete Jobs Manually,

    For discrete jobs only, you have the option to pick by a operation sequence range in a single job - or across multiple jobs. All components in the operation sequence range selected are displayed on the Component Pick Release window. This feature is valuable in manufacturing environments where pick releases based on the timing of operations is not feasible, because operation start times are unpredictable.

    The Material Requirement Date field is used to search requirements based on a range of Date Requirement values entered on the Material Requirements window.

    Note: The Material Requirements Date limits the date components are picked. For example, if you set this date for July 1, and you have requirements for June 1 and August 1 - the system will not consider the August 1 requirements. Set this date to consider material requirements and lead times.

    Lot Based Jobs: You can query by Job name, Assembly, Schedule Group, and production Line. See: Creating a Lot Based Job in the Shop Floor Management User's Guide.

    The Material Requirement Cutoff Date field is used to search for component records. The Date Requirement value entered on the Material Requirements window is used as the basis.

    Note: The material requirements cutoff date limits the date components are picked. For example, if you set this date for July 1, and you have requirements for June 1 and August 1 - the system will not consider the August 1 requirements. Set this date to consider material requirements and lead times.

    Repetitive Schedules: You can query by Assembly, production Line, and Material Requirement Cutoff Date. See: Overview of Creating Repetitive Schedules

    The Material Requirement Cutoff Date field is used to search for component records. The Date Requirement value entered on the Material Requirements window is used as the basis.

    Note: The material requirements cutoff date limits the date components are picked. For example, if you set this date for July 1, and you have requirements for June 1 and August 1 - the system will not consider the August 1 requirements. Set this date to consider material requirements and lead times.

    The Days of Supply value is multiplied by the daily production rate and component quantity per assembly to calculate the pick quantity. If the open quantity is less than the value entered here, the open quantity is used instead.

    Flow Schedules: You can query by flow Line, Schedule Group, Build Sequence, or Sales Order. If you are using Oracle Projects or Project Manufacturing, you can search by Project Number and Task Number. See: Line Scheduling Workbench Options Window

  2. Choose Find to display the Component Pick Release window.
