WIP report

My financial guru has asked me to develop a WIP report using "Units
of
delivery method for sales and inventory". Now I'm a MIS guy, so I'm
not sure what that means, let alone have the ability to design and
program the report. If you're my counterpart, and you also are not
sure of this method, please forward this to your financial person.
We're desperate for this report and would be willing to pay. We
would
also entertain hiring an "expert" to work here for a couple of days.

Thanks,

"Units of delivery method for sales and inventory ... "

Bob, I'd suggest you ask for a translation ...

Thanks Todd! I did ask.........the translation had me more confused than before.
I guess it's financial stuff.

The standard WIP report logic is based on units delivered versus units
produced. We have been using it for years. It is not perfect but what cost
system is. We think the pros far outweigh the cons. In fact, this year, we
turned on the inventory transaction interface as well. Our financial
statements, perpetual inventory records and the Sales/Gross Margin Report
now all tie together - again, not perfectly but easily good enough to use
for management purposes.

Can anyone tell me any reasons why I am getting very occasional values of
??????? on some jobs when I run my WIP report? We can't see anything
different on these jobs when we examine them, and of course, I can't get a
total value as this also appears as ????? when even a single job is wrong.

Carole,
We had that problem after converting to 5.0. We had to report the problem to Epicor and a fix was designed by them to clean up a specific transaction that Vantage couldn't handle. I would suggest calling Epicor.

I ran into that after going from 4.0 to 5.0. IIRC, there is a new cost
field in PartTran for material burden or something that didn't get
initialized to zero, and instead has an "unknown" value in it. This hoses
up any report trying to do math on it.

We didn't have maintenance at the time, so I just whipped up a li'l program
to stuff zeros in them. But tech support should have a fix available.

We get it occasionally when there is a large negative number in one of the
cost fields for a part. Generally caused by a keying error. We make a cost
adjustment to the particular area; material, labor, burden, etc. and this
fixes the display problem.
