Receiving Unplanned Items
Use Unplanned Receipts (3.9) to receive an item that has no work order.
Related items in the co-product/by-product structure cannot be received
with the item.
Processing Shop Floor Control Transactions
Shop floor control transactions are processed using the base process order
for a joint order set.
Processing Joint Orders at Work Order Close
Use Work Order Accounting Close (16.21) to process joint orders when a
base process order is selected to be closed. This procedure calculates mix
variances, updates current average and last costs, and updates GL average
costs for co-products and by-products.
Deleting and Archiving Joint Orders
Use Work Order Delete/Archive (16.23) to process all orders in a joint set
when any one of the work orders in the set is selected for processing.
Tracing Lots
The lot number for a base process is its work order ID number or the lot
number assigned to that order using Work Order Attribute Maintenance
(16.19). The system automatically maintains lot-to-lot relationships for
joint orders by creating receipt and issue transactions between a base
process and its joint order set. These are memo transactions that do not
update inventory or create GL transactions.
• Use Lot Where-Used Inquiry (3.22.4) to trace a component lot
number to a base process and trace upward from the base process to
the co-product and by-product lots produced from it.
• Use Lot Actual Bill Inquiry (3.22.3) to trace a co-product or
by-product lot number to the base process that produced it and trace
downward to the component lots for the base process.
