Road Map: Manufacturing Period Activity

Use the Manufacturing Period Activity (MPA) program to print a cost report for manufacturing orders worked on during a period of time. See Background for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs in this sequence:

Sales Orders

  1. Sales Order Maintenance (OE) to enter orders and optionally obligate items and create shipments.

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:

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

You may also run this program at any point:

  • Manufacturing Cost Adjustments (MCA) to enter cost adjustments for a manufacturing order and print the register, which updates the general ledger if you have interfaced inventory to the general ledger.

You may also have run this program:

  • Manufacturing Order Close (MJC) to close costs for manufacturing orders and print the Manufacturing Order Close Register.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • 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.

  • 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 should run these programs:

  1. Sales Shipment Confirmation (OC) or Secured Confirmation (SOC) to create a shipment, if you have not already done so, and confirm the shipment.

  2. AR Invoice Register (RR) to select a batch of confirmed shipments for invoicing, and print the AR Invoice Register, which updates the AR invoices and the general ledger.
