Prerequisites

Before you define production areas:

• All WIP locations that you plan to use as production area default WIP locations must be defined as WIP locations using the Storage Areas page in PeopleSoft Inventory.

  Define WIP accounts for each production type (Production, Rework, or Teardown) that you plan to perform in the production area.

  Note: If you plan to use consigned items as components, define both owned and non-owned WIP locations. Consigned items are stored in non-owned WIP locations until they are consumed. Once consumed, if they are returned to stock, they're returned to an owned location.

• The items that you manufacture must be defined as approved, owned, and standard-costed manufacturing items in PeopleSoft Inventory.

• All applicable transaction accounts and ChartFields must be defined.

• Optionally define valid production options with the Production Option Maintenance components if you're producing co-products and by-products.
