Using WIP for production parts for production

You can now register the temporary storage of a production part at a work in progress (WIP) location, in order to set it aside for use for a specific production order. To do so, select the relevant option on the Basic data form, and then configure the part for WIP locations by selecting the Active if WIP location check box.

Use the WIP location enabled if 'Production' origin, 'Production' destination option if you want to use a WIP location when registering production parts intended for production. The following forms have been modified to implement this new feature:

• Parts form: You can see whether WIP locations have been enabled for production parts intended for production.
• Process production receipts: If a WIP location has been configured for production parts intended for production, the following happens after the process has been executed:
  • The part quantity received is registered on the WIP location.
  • The quantity on the WIP location form is shown both for the production origin and for the production destination.
  • The quantity received is shown on the Other part transactions form.
• Part issues: The following changes have been made:
  • You can register an issue from production to production.
  • There are separate group boxes for origin and destination.
  • The descriptions of the Lot number, Status and Certificate fields are displayed.
• Create issue lines for parts: The following changes have been made:
  • You can register an issue from production to production; the 'Production' origin has been added.
• Enter issue lines for parts
  • You can register an issue from production to production; you can select a part line with a 'Production' origin.
• Process part issues: The following changes have been made:
  • If a WIP location has been configured for production parts intended for production, also issue lines with a 'Production' origin and a 'Production' destination are processed.
  • The part quantity issued is transferred from the WIP location.
  • For partial issues, the quantity is updated on the WIP location form.
  • For complete issues, the line is removed from the WIP location form.
  • The quantity is updated on the Other part transactions form.
