At the end of the report, the system displays any remaining amount in the
WIP as Residual WIP Value. Residual WIP Value at this point should be
close to zero, if it is the result of a rounding error.
You can run this program in a non-update mode. The system generates the
report but does not update the database.
Cumulative Order Maintenance
Use Cumulative Order Maintenance (18.22.6) to create new orders
manually or maintain the Start and End Effective dates of an existing
order. You cannot change effective dates so that they overlap another
cumulative order for the same profile. You can also delete closed
cumulative orders.
Executing Repetitive Transactions
As work is performed, labor and movement of WIP units are reported.
You can report these activities using various types of transactions,
including downtime, scrap, rework, move, and rejects. There are nine
transaction types and several purchase order functions for subcontract
activities.
Repetitive transactions affect other areas of the system. As quantities are
moved through repetitive operations, inventory transactions are recorded
and posted as backflushing occurs. Labor and burden costs are recorded
by manual entry or as a result of backflushing.
Transactions generate cost variances and create GL entries. Most
transactions generate quantity and cost posting to the cumulative order
and associated operation and bill of material (BOM) records.
Transactions affect any one of the three quantity queues associated with a
routing operations:
• The input queue, which holds quantities from the previous operation.
• The output queue, which holds quantities from the current operation
that have not been moved to the next operation.
• The reject queue, which holds quantities rejected by the current or a
subsequent operation.
