Reopening Production

Occasionally, additional completions, material consumption, or actual hours must be recorded for production that has been closed. To complete these transactions, production must be reopened. When closing production, you can skip any intermediate status and close for accounting any production ID or production schedule quantity that is still in process. However, when reopening production, you can only go backward one status at a time. For example, you can only reset production to Closed for Labor from Closed for Accounting, or reset production to Complete from Closed for Labor.

Reopening production closed for accounting has several ramifications. When you reopen production that you've closed for accounting, PeopleSoft Manufacturing automatically reverses previously recorded variance entries, and if it records a favorable variance, it records an unfavorable entry for the same. The net effect is to zero out any previously recorded amount. When you close production for accounting again, the system completely recalculates variances based on the new production information.

For standard cost items, the Reopen Production process (SFS1200) can reverse postings in the Production Variance Detail record (SF_VARS_DETAIL) and the Configuration Variance Detail record (SF_CFGVAR_DET ). These tables are populated by the Close Production process (SFS1100) with detailed information about how each production variance was calculated.

Description

Current Status

Select a current production status for the production that you want to reopen.

Curr Prdn Due/Close Dates (current production due and close dates)

Enter the appropriate dates.

The system reopens any production that is currently closed for accounting, labor, or complete and whose accounting or labor close date or completed date falls within the date range specified. When reopening production in the Pending Complete status, production is set to In Process if the production due date falls within the date window specified.

Run

Click to run this request. Process Scheduler runs the Reopen Production process (SFS1200) at user-defined intervals.

This process generates the Reopen Production Request report. The report details the before and after status of the production ID or production schedule once the process is complete. You can view the results of the variance postings and the reversal of the posting by running the Production Variance report.
