Using WIP on Work Orders

The following procedure provides instructions for using WIP on work orders.

To use WIP on a work order:

1. Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Enter Work Orders.

2. Complete the fields, as required.

3. To use WIP rather than a standard assembly build on this work order, check the WIP box.

   Note:

   You cannot clear the WIP box after a posting assembly transaction has been attributed to this work order.

4. Select a Location.

   This field is required for WIP work orders.

5. Complete the necessary form fields. For more information, see Entering an Individual Work Order.

6. Click Save.

After you designate a work order as WIP, complete the build process using the following:

• Work Order Issue – Issue components to track material consumption or log service against a work order.

  For more information, see Entering Work Order Issues.

• Work Order Completion – Identify the quantity completed and stocked.

  For more information, see Entering Work Order Completions.

• Work Order Close – Generate reconciliation entries to post variances that may occur during the manufacturing process.

  For more information, see Entering Work Order Closes.

The following table shows an example of the general ledger impact for WIP transactions:

Consumption
	Component Asset	Location	CR– (credit)
	Component Asset	WIP	DR+ (debit)
Completion
	Assembly Asset	Location	DR+
	Assembly Asset	WIP	CR–
Close
	Assembly Asset	WIP	DR+
	Component Asset	WIP	CR+
	Variances	WIP	DR+
