Milestone and Non-Milestone Operations<br />

Milestone operations are routing operations where production counts are<br />

recorded. Milestone operations are normally used to report all labor and<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletions. However, you can also use non-milestone operations to<br />

report scrap, rejects, rework, or discrepant labor. In this case, you create<br />

WIP balances at non-milestones. This allows for more accurate tracking<br />

of WIP costs and quantities.<br />

Normally, however, non-milestones are maintained at zero inventory.<br />

Therefore, <strong>MFG</strong>/<strong>PRO</strong> zeros out all prior non-milestones when you report<br />

<strong>com</strong>pletions at a subsequent milestone operation.<br />

Determines<br />

how labor is<br />

reported.<br />

The Auto Labor Report field determines if standard labor is reported<br />

automatically by Backflush Transaction (18.22.13).<br />

If Yes, Backflush Transaction automatically reports the standard number<br />

of run hours for the quantity processed. Any hours specified directly are<br />

considered as additional to the standard. Negative numbers are subtracted<br />

from the standard. Backflush Transaction also automatically reports<br />

standard hours for each prior non-milestone operation that also has this<br />

field set to Yes.<br />
