Road Map: WIP Register

Use the WIP Register (WIPR) program to print a listing of good and scrapped pieces for operation sequences on a manufacturing order 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:

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

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Inventory Control Options) to set the Inventory interfaced to GL? option.

  • 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?

  • 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: FLOORSTOCK, INV SCRAP, INVENTORY, LABOR ADJ, LABOR BURD, LABR BURAJ, LBR BRDSCR, LBR RT VAR, LBR-ACCPAY, LBR-BRDAPP, LBR SCRAP, MRB, WIP LABOR, WIP MATL, WIP MCH OH, WIP OS, and WIP OVHEAD.

  • Routing Maintenance (RTM) to create a routing for the parent item.

  • Branch Maintenance (TBM) to set up branches.

  • Branch Groups Maintenance (TGM) to set up branch groups.

  • 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:

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

  4. (Optional) 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.

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

You may also run:

  • (Optional) 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 general ledger.

  • WIP Cost Inquiry (WICQ) to work in process labor and machine costs for a manufacturing order.

  • WIP Valuation Report (WIV) to print a report of the actual cost of work in process on manufacturing orders.

  • WIP Valuation Inquiry (WIVQ) to display work in process quantities and costs for open manufacturing orders.
