Entering Work Order Completions
To use the Manufacturing WIP, enter a completion transaction to log the number of assemblies you completed and stocked for a work order. This transaction indicates the number of finished goods produced.
Entering a completion does not record the consumption of materials. It only records the work done on the assembly process and journals the value of the assembly out of the assigned WIP account.
You can enter a work order completion with backflush to issue components and complete the assembly at one time.
To enter a work order completion:
-
Go to Transactions > Manufacturing > Enter Completions.
-
Select an assembly Item to filter the list and show only work orders for the item.
-
Select the Customer or vendor providing this item.
Alternatively, select an employee to associate with this transaction.
-
Select the Posting Period to post this transaction to.
-
Accept today's Date as the transaction date, or select another date.
-
Select a Location to use to build orders, issue components, or enter completions.
This location appears in the location field in the header of all work order completions created.
-
To enter completions with backflush, check the Backflush box.
Backflush records component consumption at the same time. Component consumption is based on the proportion designated on the original work order and the build quantity.
Clear this box to enter the completion without backflush and not record consumption.
-
Enter a Sales Order Number or scan a transaction bar code.
-
Check the box in the Complete column for each order to be completed.
-
Verify or enter the quantity completed for each order.
The field shows the quantity remaining on the order by default.
-
Click Submit.
After a completion is entered against a work order, that quantity of assemblies is recorded as being built and stocked in inventory.
The work order completion Projected Value field displays the cost of the assembly. It does not display individual components (unless you use backflush). A Work Order Close for the work order shows the difference between the cost of the assembly and the components.
