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.
