Re: Automation of RM's

Alan,
We have implemented a mix of creating our own labels at the end of the
production line. After the part has passed the testing then the PLC passes
this to us, create label. record RX transaction or RM as needed, run any
special part or supplier based activity, then finish with reporting. Takes
a while to develop and verify, so patience is the key.

Someone has to of already solved this problem. We are on version XA 7.7,
green
screen and PowerLink.

We are manually keying all of our RM's at the end of the day after our
packing
department shift is complete. As things are complete we have a person
writing
down the items, and accumulating the paperwork during the day. After the
shift
is complete, all of the paperwork is accumulated and given to a person to
manually enter the RM's.

How has anyone else created a more effecient process, to get the RM's
entered
in more real-time so that we don't have shipping inventory issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

More detail on what I exacly need to do:

I need to automatically create the "MO", then the "RM" to put the finished
good into inventory. Western Forge is using a very strange process, we don't
really use MO's to control our manufacturing process. So the manual process
that's happening now is that we have someone manually keying an "MO" so that
they can "RM" against it. I want to remove the manual keying of both, we are
using the CISTECH PPS product and it will create the "RM" for me from the gun.
But I still have a problem as I don't have an open "MO" to go against....any
suggestions?

This is only a short-term fix as we are looking at our entire process to
figure out the right solution.

Thanks again for everyone who responded....we just aren't doing
things "normally" so I need to be creative.
