We’re reviewing all of our “non-inventory” parts like in Inspection, WIP, RMAs Received Pending Disposition, DMRs, etc.
What makes things show up in PartWip? Is that the table I should look at for finding parts in WIP? I’m hearing grumbles that there are many items on that list that are “long gone”. I see many jobs are not closed, though. But some of them are. What makes parts show up here and how do I get them off the list? For starters, I will look into closing the completed jobs. Not sure why they wouldn’t already be closed… but yeah. Trying to understand this table and then ultimately, I’d like to try to tie it out to the financial WIP report. Any recommendations?
Generally I believe reporting production quantity on an operation, and issuing material, are the main ways things make their way into WIP. There should be other information in the table that will inform you on where the quantity came from like source job/operation, etc.
PartWip is transacted on when Report Qty, End Activity, Shipping, and Closing jobs. There are other transactions to PartWip too but that depends on if you have AMM whether those matter or not.
