Add Routing WIP Product
Explanation
Use this activity to add a WIP product line to a routing. A WIP product allows you to trace where
work-in-progress material, produced in a shop order operation, is located in inventory.
Add a WIP product by creating a new line on the WIP Products tab. In the WIP
Product Part field, enter the required part number. In the From Operation field, specify
the operation that produces the WIP product. In the To Operation field, specify the operation
where the WIP product will be issued. If this field is left blank, the WIP product will be issued when the main
product on the shop order is received into inventory.
Prerequisites
- The routing must contain at least one operation.
- The routing type must be one of the following:
- Manufacturing, Remanufacturing, Repair,
Prototype, or Disassembly.
- If the routing type is Disassembly, the To Operation field is mandatory
since no main product is received from such orders.
- The Part Type must be set to WIP Product.
- The part must have the same unit of measure as the main product.
- A specific part and From Operation combination can only be used once per routing.
- The From Operation must:
- Not be an outside operation.
- Not have Manual Operation Qty enabled.
- The To Operation must:
- Not be an outside operation.
- Not have Manual Operation Qty enabled.
- Have an operation number greater than the From Operation.
System Effects
As a result of this activity, a WIP product line is added to the routing, enabling tracking of intermediate
work-in-progress inventory between operations.
