Road Map: Manufacturing Order Close

Use the Manufacturing Order Close (MJC) program to close costs for manufacturing orders, print the Manufacturing Order Close Register, and update the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to the GL. See Background and Overview: Interfacing Inventory to GL for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs in this sequence:

  1. Manufacturing Order Maintenance (MIM) to enter a manufacturing order and optionally obligate and pick components.

OR

Requisition Maintenance (IRM) to create a requisition and release a manufacturing order.

OR

Consolidate Manufacturing Requisitions (MOCR) to release multiple manufacturing requisitions to create a single manufacturing order.

OR

Planned Order Maintenance (MOP) to enter planned orders, and then Order Release Preparation (MPR) and Order Release Selection (MRR) to release the orders.

OR

Sales Order Maintenance (OE) to enter a sales order and generate a manufacturing order for:

    • A make-to-order item (the Item code field in the Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) program that matches the Item code for immediate supply option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Inventory Control Options)

    • A subassembly (the Item code field in the Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) program for the item and its components matches the Subassembly release type option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options)

    • A configured product that requires assembly

    • An item you make is not in inventory, the order entry operator clicks Manufacture in manual obligation mode, and the Disable mfg order firewall option in System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options) is selected

  1. Manufacturing Order Picking Selection (MSS) to obligate and pick all required components or sets of components.

OR

Material Usage Maintenance (MUA) to obligate and pick selected components and close a component short.

OR

Picking Confirmation (MPK) or Secured Picking (SMPK) to pick all required components, sets of components, or selected components.

  1. Manufacturing Order Picking Register (MPKJ) to print a listing of components picked and update costs and the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to GL.

  2. WIP Movement (WIPM) to enter quantities completed, scrap parents or components, and update labor costs.

OR

Labor Entry (LLE) to enter actual hours, overtime hours, pieces produced, and pieces scrapped by employee.  

OR

Labor Import (LEI) to import regular and overtime hours, good pieces, and scrapped parents from an ASCII file.

  1. WIP Register (WIPR) to print the WIP Movement Register and update the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to GL.

OR

Labor Entry Register (LPR) to print a list of labor entries and update the entries to the general ledger.

  1. Receiver Maintenance (IRC) to receive the items into your branch, or into your stockroom if you are using direct-to-stock receiving.

    AND conditionally

    Receiving and Inspection (IRI) to enter inspection results for items that require inspection.

  2. Manufacturing Order Receipt Register (MRJ) to print a list of manufacturing orders you have received into stock and update them to the general ledger.

  3. (Conditional) PO Receipt Register (VRJ) to print a list of received purchase orders and update them to the general ledger.

  4. (Conditional) Rejected Material Disposition (MRB) to select the disposition of items rejected during inspection.

  5. (Conditional) Rejected Material Disposition Register (VBJ) to print a list of rejected and disposed materials and update the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to the GL.

  6. Manufacturing Order Close Preview (MJP) to print a listing of manufacturing orders that have been received complete and may or may not be ready to be closed.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Manufacturing Options) to set the Costing method for job cost option.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Inventory Control Options) to set the Inventory interfaced to GL? and Update actual and average costs? options.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (GL Journal Options) to set these options for updating the general ledger: Print journal after register?, Print from GJ?, Post in D=Detail or S=Summary, Post from R=Register or J=Journal, and Erase posting files after posting?

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.

  • Batch Number Setup (XBC) to set up a batch number assignment and set the Allow manual assignment? option.

  • User Maintenance (UIM) to give each user who will run this program permission to update general ledger; select Allow final reg upd?

  • GL Account Maintenance (GMM) to set up GL organization codes and GL accounts.

  • Posting Criteria Maintenance (XPC) to set default and specific GL organization codes and GL accounts for automatic posting to the general ledger. You set them up for these postings: MFG VAR.

  • Output Device Maintenance (XDM) to set up the output devices that you plan to use.

  • Date-Output Device Maintenance (ZE) to select your default output device and set whether you can override that device.

After you run this program

You will most likely run these programs:

  • Manufacturing Order Cost Report (MJS) to print a summary or detail status report of costs for manufacturing orders.

  • Manufacturing Order Cost History Inquiry (MHC) to display costs and units completed per hour for closed manufacturing orders for an item.
