Select Work Order Inquiries menu > Work Order Inquiry.

Use Work Order Inquiry to review planned activities for a work order, as well as the current status of all operations and material issues. For operation steps, the inquiry provides the total number of hours scheduled and used. For material issues, quantities planned, issued, scrapped, and due are provided. You can search for a work order using the parent item description or one of the four user-defined fields set up in Work Order Options.

Work Order Inquiry allows you to view estimates, firm-planned, released, and closed work orders only. You cannot view work order templates. You can view the actual costs on the work order compared to the planned costs. You can also view work order memos.

The information provided by Work Order Inquiry can only be viewed. The System Security feature is used to restrict access to Work Order Entry and Work Order Transaction Entry to personnel authorized to add, delete, or maintain work order information. Other users, however, can be granted access to Work Order Inquiry for inquiry purposes only.

Work Order Inquiry displays summary information for the work order. If the work order entered is not released, the actual cost, variance, and variance percentage are not displayed.  The inquiry also displays options codes if the Bill of Materials module is installed and option bills are used in Bill of Materials.

Work Order Inquiry details quantities ordered, planned, completed, transferred, and scrapped. Yield percentage, issue method, lead time, and scheduled and actual release dates are also included.

You can also view detailed information for a particular step, including any extended step description, and material component information for the selected work order. For each material component assigned to the work order, you can view the step number, revision, warehouse, unit of measure, quantity of parent items, and required and issued quantities.

If work order transaction details are retained, you can also view transaction information for the selected work order, including material issues, labor, outside processing costs, material substitutions, work order completions, and scrap transactions.
