WO-L-F  Print Work Order Shortages

Purpose of Program

This is the same report that gets produced when work orders are released through WO-B  Release Work Orders.  This report allows you to check on the status of work order components at any time before or after work order release.

The shortage report will list any component that does not have enough on-hand inventory to fulfill all open orders that need that component, or you can specify all components to print.  The quantity required for this order is found in the Required column, while the total quantity needed for all work orders is in the Allocated column.  You may technically have enough stock on hand for a component to satisfy this work order, but you could be taking the component from another work order that needs it.

The On Order column shows you if you have any purchase orders or work orders in process that have not yet been received or completed.

General Program Operation

You may enter from/thru ranges of work order numbers, parent item numbers, or a range of component item numbers.  F2 lookups (or Lookup buttons) are available for each of these fields.

If you leave the Work Order and Parent Part fields blank and enter a component item number, the report also serves as a status report by component for all open work orders.

You can indicate whether you want to see the status of all components, or just those with shortages.

Finally, you can indicate whether you want the component descriptions to print, which take up one extra line per component.  If you indicate no, the report will be shorter in length.
