You can transfer inventory even if a picklist has not been created or
printed. Use the Alloc and Picked fields to set the default for your
transfers. You can also directly specify inventory to issue.
After issuing inventory, the system records an ISS-TR transaction and a
RCT-TR transaction in the transaction history file.
Managing Cumulative Orders
The system keeps a running total for each combination of items, sites,
production lines, product structures, and routings using a cumulative
order. The cumulative order tracks costs and quantities for work-inprocess
(WIP) for repetitive production. A cumulative order is created for
a profile that defines the site, item number, production line, routing code,
BOM/formula code for the order, and start and end effective dates.
Cumulative orders can be created three ways.
• Automatically by the system when you execute a repetitive
transaction (18.22.13 –18.22.21)
• One at a time with Cumulative Order Maintenance (18.22.6)
• In a batch with Cumulative Order Create (18.22.11)
When a cumulative order is created, a cost rollup establishes the
cumulative order cost. Cumulative orders have an assigned ID number,
but no order number.
Repetitive transactions create a cumulative order when they cannot find
one with the same profile (site, item, production line, routing, BOM/
formula code) where the transaction effective date does not fall within the
effective date range of an existing cumulative order. The start and end
effective dates are determined using the parameters in the Repetitive
Control File.
During transaction processing, the system captures rate variances and
creates GL entries. Usage/method variances are accumulated and posted
when you run one of the following.
• Post Accumulated Usage Variances (18.22.9) creates GL entries for
usage and method variances accumulated since the previous Post
Accumulated Usage Variances report. The report gives you the option
to update.
