We have a few jobs that we utilized parts on the fly for most of the materials. These two jobs were used to create ‘Tooling’ and not needed ever again. The $ for WIP for the materials POTF will not clear?
I loaded a backup of our system in our test environment and took one job to stock and simply closed the other one.
Test System-
For the stock scenario: Only the labor, burden, and the material that was picked from inventory went to stock. Closed Job. None of the POTF $ cleared, still in WIP?
For the close the job scenario to flush all cost: Same thing, none of the POTF $ cleared, still in WIP? This is after i ran the WIP capture as well.
The Purchase orders that were created are written to supply the POTF to the jobs directly and worked as intended. I also verified that the POTF parts created the proper GL transactions when received by debiting WIP material and crediting AP Clearing.
Were the purchase orders flagged for inspection? Were they received before the job was received into inventory/shipped?
The purchase orders were not marked inspection required.
Purchase orders have been invoiced already also.
Costs will get stuck in WIP if they are added after the final work is received/shipped from the job. Timing is critical.
Yes, I’ve seen that particular scenario, the job can get closed & WIP cleared/posted. Job reopened to have WIP accumulate once again.
In my scenario all things are already on the job, total dollars will not flush, just the portion that was not POTF?
Here’s an interesting point, i just created a purchase order to a job with POTF in our test system and received it in. I then closed the job and it shows the cost of that material being able to get flushed upon closing the job (to clear WIP). I just have to figure out why the other POTF parts cost will not flush. Hmmm.
Does anyone know if there is a way to recalc a job? The Production Detail Report (is less) total does not equal the WIP report totals.
