Completing Discrete Jobs
You can complete job assemblies into inventory using the Completion Transactions and Move Transactions windows. You can also return completed assemblies back to jobs using these windows. Quantities remaining and completed are automatically updated when you complete or return assemblies.
Note: You can also complete WIP assemblies using the Inventory Transaction Interface and the Open Move Transaction Interface.
Over-completions and Over-returns
You can complete a quantity of assemblies greater than the job start quantity with a completion transaction if the assembly does not have a routing. This feature is useful if your production process yields a few more assemblies than planned.
If your job has a routing, you must first increase the job quantity by the over-completion quantity. If you are completing the additional assemblies with a completion transaction, you must move these assemblies from the Queue intraoperation step of the first operation sequence to the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence. If you are completing the additional assemblies with a move transaction, you can optionally move them to any operation sequence and intraoperation step except the To move intraoperation step of the last operation sequence. You can now complete the 'over-completion' quantity.
You can return more assemblies than you completed to a job if the job does not have a routing. You can over-return to jobs with routings only if you increase job quantities.
Completion Subinventory and Locator
You can specify any completion subinventory and, if required, locator when you complete or return assemblies with a completion transaction. If you complete or return assemblies using move transactions, the subinventory and locator that you assigned (if any) to the job is used. You can complete or return partial job or schedule quantities to different subinventories and locators. The status of a discrete job is automatically updated to complete when your cumulative quantity completed equals the job quantity.
Backflushing
When you complete assemblies, all components with the supply type of Assembly pull are automatically backflushed. When components for assemblies under lot control, serial number control, or lot and serial control are backflushed upon assembly completion, you must assign lot and/or serial numbers to the components.
Shop Floor Statuses
You cannot complete assemblies from a job if a shop floor status that prevents shop floor moves has been assigned the To move intraoperation step of the last operation. In this case, you must assign a status that allows shop floor moves in order to complete the assemblies.
Non-Standard Job Completions
You must have an assembly and job quantity to complete a non-standard discrete job. For some non-standard jobs, such as those used for disassembly or equipment maintenance, there is no need to complete assemblies.
Final Assembly Order Completions
When you complete assemblies from final assembly orders using a completion transaction, reservations are automatically transferred from the job to the subinventory and locator based on sales order line delivery due dates. You may override the automatic transfer. When returning completed assemblies back to a final assembly order, you must enter the sales order line and delivery information so that the system knows which reservations to transfer from inventory to WIP.
Costing
Under standard costing, assemblies are received into inventory at standard cost and the job is relieved of costs at standard. Under average costing, assemblies are received and the job relieved of costs at average.
