Transferring WIP
Cumulative Order Close
Use Cumulative Order Close (18.22.10) to select unclosed cumulative
orders according to various criteria. You can optionally create successive
cumulative orders and transfer WIP queue balances to them. Cumulative
orders must have an End Effective date on or before the End Effective
value you enter. Orders with a blank End Effective date will not be
selected.
Note To close orders with blank End Effective dates, first enter an End
Effective date using Cumulative Order Maintenance (18.22.6).
Closing a cumulative order performs the same processing as the Post
Accumulated Usage Variances transaction. Variances are calculated,
posted, and reported. If the Transfer WIP field is Yes in the Repetitive
Control File, WIP queue balances are transferred.
To close a cumulative order before its end effective date, use Cumulative
Order Maintenance to set the end effective date to yesterday’s date. The
system creates a new cumulative order for the balance of the period if the
End Eff Default Method is set to 1 or 2 in the Repetitive Control File
(18.22.24).
Transferring WIP
To transfer WIP, enter the data in Cumulative Order Close. The system
finds a cumulative order for the site, item, production line, routing, and
product structure code with an effective date range immediately following
the End Effective date entered.
If Then
There is a cumulative order, and it is not closed, it receives the WIP quantities of the
cumulative order being closed.
There is a cumulative order, but it is closed, it does not transfer.
There is no cumulative order, it creates a new one to which WIP
is transferred.
