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

In AccountMate Enterprise, the heart of the Manufacturing module is the Record Work-in-Process function. This is the first step in the 2-step work order processing into production.

The default values shown in the different screens in this function comes from the work order transaction record; however, you can add or delete components that reflects the actual materials used in the work order in process. You can track work orders that are still in process and the related costs once you record these work orders as work-in-process. This step is a must in processing a work order.

To record work order to work-in-process, perform the following steps:

1.Access the Record Work Order function from the Production group in the Transactions menu of the Manufacturing module. Click the New button to create a new work order record.

2.Enter in the Warehouse field the warehouse from which you obtain the component inventory items to process the work order and to which you store the finished item or product. Alternatively, you may click the Lookup button to display the Search window where you can select a warehouse code. The warehouse codes that will show in this window are those with active status and those the current user has access rights. Refer to the Access Restrictions section in Warehouse Maintenance for the details on warehouse access rights.

Notes:

•If the Inventory Control module is not activated, this field is read only and shows the default main warehouse.

•If the Inventory Control module is not activated, you cannot drill-down on the Warehouse and U of M fields. In addition, you cannot click their corresponding Lookup buttons as the Warehouse Maintenance and Unit-of-Measurement Maintenance functions are not available.

3.In the Work Order # field, enter the work order that you want to record as work-in-process. Alternatively, you may click the List box button to select the work order from a list. The work orders that will show in the list are those that are assigned to the warehouse you enter in the Warehouse field above.

4.Enter in the Transaction Date field the date you want to use as the posting date. The date entered in this field will be used as the Post Work-in-Order posting date.

5.Mark the Post checkbox if you want to automatically post the work order to in-process. This checkbox is displayed when the WIP Automatically Updates Cost setting is activated in the MA Module Setup function. Users with Post WIP access right can mark or unmark this checkbox.

6.In the Routing Steps page, you may select the step number of the work order to process. You may review, accept or amend the labor and machine details and settings in this step. For more information, see the Routing Steps Page section.
