We do a lot of “bulk” entry of Inspection Processing Operation entries from time to time but are noticing that it appears occasionally even though “Move costs to DMR” is checked, it is NOT moving those costs off the job to the DMR coded account # (based on the reason code). For example, we have two very similar inspection process entries, same job, part, asm, op, and same NCR and DMR code. Only difference is the dates the NonConformance was originally created and the quantity of each failed Non-Conformance. We processed both in Inspection Processing on the same day. “Move costs to DMR” was checked on both. Afterward, we went and looked and only one of the entries actually went to the DMR account, the other did not. Anyone ever seen this type of behavior? We are wondering if it could be because we are processing many Inspection Process entries one after the other (this particular day we went through over 100). Anyone have any idea what we could check???
In my experience the “Move Costs to DMR” checkbox works 100% of the time. We don’t use Inspection Processing at all for operational nonconformances, so everything is an automatic fail (it’s a pain to clear out Inspection Processing as much as we do). We do occasionally find that the cost moved is 0, but every time it’s due a data error in the source job. Either quantities not being clocked correctly, other open DMR’s having exaggerated cost, costs being captured to inventory prior to creation of the DMR among others. In your case I would be researching the jobs behind the erroneous nonconformances rather than a systemic INS-DMR issue.
I would check to see if the material was received off the job prior to the DMR being processed. In my experience, that will move the full cost of the job to the parts in inventory and when you move the parts to DMR there are no costs to move.
Thanks for the reply Anthony. The issue is we can have two or more EXACT duplicate Inspection Process entries to process, meaning SAME JOB#, ASM, OP, just different Non-Conform ID’s Non-Conform dates and we can go in and process (DMR) all of them at the same time and we are then seeing sometimes there are costs created on the DMR, and other times not. We have a TON of open jobs and open Inspection Process entries and we process 100’s of Non-Conformances a week and still ALWAYS have a huge backlog.
