Shop Floor Control - Close Recurring Work Orders

Function

This task closes all recurring work orders that had activity in the displayed period. The recurring work orders will be closed partial at the current work-in-process value. They will be reopened later by the Period End Update task.

Although many category Recurring/Permanent (R) work orders, such as those for shop maintenance or supplies should be closed and reopened each month during Period End Update, some category Recurring/Permanent (R) work orders, such as those for onetime capital projects should be closed in the Work Order CloseClosed Data Entry task when they are completed. This is because they are not to be reopened by the Period End Update.

To access this task...

Select Close Recurring Work Orders from the Period End Processing menu.

The system issues the prompt:

Close Recurring Work Orders

  • Click Yes to close all recurring work orders that had activity in the displayed period.

  • Click No to exit the task.

NOTE:

The function of the Close Recurring Work Orders task is to perform an automatic partial close of all recurring work orders. It was designed for your convenience only and does not perform any special functions that are different from those performed by the Work Order Close Data Entry task.

Refer to the Closed Recurring WO Summary Register for information about the postings that takes place when a recurring work order is closed.
