You have to run the INV-WIP Reconciliation by Transaction Type INVOICE to see your invoices. It is second from the end in the drop down list. Are you doing that?

Epicor's solution was "Upgrade to the current version" so we upgraded to 408 and this problem was resolved, which I find strange since we made no changes to our company set-up or the process we follow when completing / shipping jobs. We finished testing without further issues. Now that we are live on 408, we are experiencing this same issue.

The invoicing transaction does not result in any transactions showing in the Inventory/WIP Reconciliation report.

All my other shipments are bypassing the AR clearing account, showing as MFG-VAR transactions and moving WIP to COS when the shipment transaction occurs. I have spent several days looking at the Orders/Jobs that transacted correctly compared to the Orders/Jobs that have not and I cannot identify any differences.

Then we mark the job complete and use the current date. If the complete qty is not correct and/or if the final operation is not showing as complete, that is corrected before we mark the job complete.
