I'm replying to my own post from 6/28. Epicor has confirmed that in 5.2,
there is a "bug" that does what I described (relieving all the material with
a partial receipt from manufacturing or shipment). 6.0 and 6.1 has
supposedly fixed the problem - I can confirm that at least on 6.0 because I
am testing it now and shipping partials relieves labor, burden, and material
proportionately.
I would like to know if the same problem existed on 5.0, so if anyone still
running 5.0 could test it on a test db, we would appreciated it. We think
we noticed the problem since we converted to 5.2. I no longer have 5.0
installed, and would prefer not to try and reinstall it as I already have
5.2, and 6.0 running, and have limited room on the hd.
Please feel free to call/email me offline if you need more info to duplicate
the problem.
Thanks

Subject: [Vantage] WIP Report Relieving Material
For some time now (Vantage 5.2, patch 323), we've been trying to find an
apparent discrepancy in WIP value reported in the WIP report vs what we
think it should be. We feel the WIP report is understating value and
discovered today, that on a job for 200 pcs, 125 completed, and 125 shipped
from the job, that all the material value in WIP was relieved and moved to
COS, whereas the labor and burden moved to COS proportionately. Why did all
the material move to COS?
