Manufacturing > Work-In-Process > Record Work in Process

The Component Items page in the Record Work-in-Process function allows you to review and/or amend the component items as well as the used quantity of each that is necessary to produce or manufacture the master item. The default information displayed in this page comes from the work order transaction record. This page is accessible only if Work Type selected in the Routing Steps page is "Cycle"; otherwise, this page is not accessible.

Perform the following in this page:

1.Enter in the Def. Bin field the default bin location where you want to store the in-process quantities of the master item.

2.The Barcode field is enabled only if the Use Barcode Scanner setting is activated in the Inventory Control module. This field will show the component item's barcode if you use a scanner to enter items in the Component Items grid. Alternatively, you may also use this field to manually enter the component item's barcode.

3.Enter in the Qty Processed field the number of master item units you are working on in the selected routing step's production process. If the Batch Size is Known checkbox setting is not marked, this field is disabled and shows a value of 0.

4.In the Qty Rejected field, enter the number of master item units that are bad or damaged during the production process of the selected routing step. These damaged units, which includes all of the components, are eventually rejected.

5.Review the values shown in the Batch Count and U of M fields. These are for reference use only.

6.In the Component Items grid, review and, accept or amend the component inventory items that are required for the selected routing step you are recording as work-in-process. You may perform the following:

6.1. To add a new component item, activate a new blank line in the grid by clicking the Append row to end button.

For subsequent grid entries, you may click the Append row to end button to activate a new blank line in the grid or click the Insert row before current button to insert a blank line above the currently selected line in the grid.

6.2. For new component items, enter appropriate values in the following fields:

oComponent Item #

Enter in the Component Item # field the number of the inventory that will be used as component in manufacturing the master item. Alternatively, you may click the Lookup button to select an inventory item from the Search window. Once an item # is selected, its corresponding item description will be displayed in the Description field.

Note: The items that will show in the Search window are those that are set to be used in the Manufacturing module; that is, the Use in Work Order checkbox is marked in the items' inventory maintenance record.

oSpecifications

If the component item has specifications, enter in the Specification field the item's specification that will be used.
