• PO Shipper Receipt (5.5.5.5)
When Yes (the default), WIP quantities present at the current
operation and prior non-milestone operations are zero balanced. The
system considers the quantity processed at the current milestone/nonmilestone
operation to be the quantity processed through all the prior
non-milestone operation up to the current operation.
If Zero Balance WIP is No, a pulling WIP logic is executed as
follows:
• When the quantity processed at any milestone or non-milestone
operation is more than the quantity processed at earlier nonmilestone
operations, WIP quantity in the input queue of the
current operation and input/output queues of prior non-milestone
operations are pulled appropriately. Component are backflushed
at earlier non-milestone operations in order to balance the
component quantity backflushed at the current operation.
• When quantity processed at any operation is the same or less than
the quantity processed at prior non-milestone operations, only the
input queue of the current operation is relieved.
• For a correcting transaction at any operation, the correction
quantity affects the input queue of the current operation and any
components associated with this operation are received back into
inventory. When Move To Next Op is Yes at the current
operation, an appropriate quantity is pulled from the input queue
of the following operation and added to the output queue of
current operation. If the current operation is the last operation,
parent quantity corresponding to the correcting transaction
quantity is issued out of inventory.
Figure 8.2 shows how the system uses the End Eff Days field to set the
start and end effective dates. In this example, an End Eff Days value of 10
days is entered, as indicated by the diagonally shaded boxes.
