Manufacturing > Work-In-Process > Post Work in Process

After recording a routing step in a work order as work-in-process, you can now proceed to post the transaction to work-in-process.

In AccountMate Enterprise, posting work-in-process is the second part of the 2-step work order processing into production. Posting a work order into work-in-process alerts the system that all the required component items as well as machine, labor resources and schedules are committed to the corresponding work order being posted. You can post a work order to in-process using the Post Work-in-Order function.

To post a work order into work-in-process, perform the following:

1.Access the Post Work in Process function from the Production group in the Transactions menu of the Manufacturing module.

2.In the Selection Criteria area, filter the work order transactions that you want to post as work-in-process. You may select and enter values in the following filter options:

•Work Order #

•Warehouse

•Master Item #

•Transaction Date

3.When you are done entering values in the Selection Criteria section, click the OK button to proceed. The system will then perform the validation process of the work-in-process transactions.

4.Work orders that have existing work-in-process transactions that meets the criteria specified in the Selection Criteria section are displayed in the Work-in-Process selection grid.

5.Mark the individual checkbox for each work-in-process transaction that you want to post to work-in-process; otherwise, unmark the checkbox. You may click the Show () button to show the summary details of each recorded work-in-process transaction.

Note: All fields in the Work-in-Process grid, including the information in the Details and other nested tabs are read-only and for reference use only.

6.If you want to review the full details of the work-in-process transaction, you may click the corresponding underlined work order # in the grid. It will open the Record Work in Process function showing the corresponding work-in-process transaction.

7.When you are done with selecting the work-in-process transaction records, click the Save button in the function toolbar. A window will pop-up informing you of the number of WIP transactions that are posted. Click Ok to close the window.

Note: If an error is found during the Save validation process, the word "Error" is displayed in the Error field next to the affected work-in-process transaction in the grid. You may drill-down on the error field to show the error message on the screen.
