Ship WIP to Supplier
Explanation
Use this activity to register work in progress (WIP) quantity for an outside
operation that has been shipped to the supplier. Optionally a delivery note
can be printed.
You do not need to ship the full quantity at once. It is possible to ship
WIP using several shipments. The quantity that currently is possible to ship
for an outside operation is the lowest value of:
- The operation quantity minus the already shipped quantity on the
operation and, in case the operation is a split operation, other related
split operations.
- The quantity that has become available on the operation (based on
preceding operations) minus the already shipped quantity on the
operation and, in case the operation is a split operation, other related
split operations.
The quantity that has become available on the operation is set depending
on several factors:
- If the operation is the first operation or parallel with the first
operation, it is set to the operation quantity.
- If the operation has a preceding operation that is a split
operation, it is set to the sum of the completed quantities for the
preceding set of split operations.
- If the operation has a preceding operation that is parallel to other
operation(s), it is set to the lowest completed quantity for the
preceding set of parallel operations.
- If the operation has a preceding operation with
Manual Operation Qty disabled, it is set to the completed
quantity on the preceding operation.
- If the operation has a preceding operation with
Manual Operation Qty enabled, it is set to the completed
quantity on the preceding operation plus the quantity that currently can
bypass that preceding operation.
WIP is shipped using the Ship WIP to Supplier
dialog. To access the dialog from:
- Shop Order/Operations, Shop
Order Operations, Disposition Shop Order/Operations and Shop
Floor Workbench pages, select the outside operation, click
Outside Operation and then Ship WIP to Supplier.
- Shop Order Operations Reporting/Outside
Operations
and Work Center Operations Reporting/Outside
Operations pages, select the operation and click
Ship WIP to Supplier.
In the dialog:
- Enter the quantity you want to send to the supplier in the Quantity to Ship
field or, if you want to ship the full possible quantity, enable
Ship Full Qty.
- I you want to print a delivery note, enable Print Delivery Note.
Prerequisites
- A quantity that currently is possible to ship on an outside operation must
exist.
- To print a delivery note a purchase order must have been created for the operation.
System Effects
- An operation history WIPTOSUB transaction is created. Note: The value for the WIP transaction is calculated based on the
estimated cost calculation for the shop order and the quantity shipped to the
supplier. This means that variations in WIP, either positive or negative, due
to differences from standard, such as changes in lot size, material issued,
or time reported, will always remain in the shop order internal WIP. These variances
will not be transferred to WIP at supplier.
- The operation is updated to reflect the quantity shipped to the supplier.
- The status of the operation is set to In Process.
- If non-issued material is linked to the operation, it is issued automatically
in the same quantity as the shipped quantity.
