4.10.  Post Miscellaneous Production

In repetitive manufacturing environments where production is continuous, the option to post miscellaneous production can be a useful feature. It can also be a useful feature for shops where disassembling manufactured items is required. To post miscellaneous production, go to Manufacture > Transactions > Post Misc. Production. The following screen will appear:

Post Miscellaneous Production

Tip

If you want to disassemble a manufactured item and return the component items to inventory, simply enter a negative quantity for the manufactured item. Posting negative miscellaneous production effectively reverses the production process.

When posting miscellaneous production, you are presented with the following options:

Item Number

Enter the item number of the item you want to post miscellaneous production for.

UOM

Inventory unit of measure.

Assembly

Select to identify work order as assembly order.

Disassembly

Select to identify work order as disassembly order.

Note

If there are average cost items on a disassembly order, those components will be returned to inventory using standard cost when they are backflushed.

Site

Specify site location for selected item.

Qty. to Post

Enter the quantity of production you want to post. This field will accept negative numbers for disassembly purposes.

Document #

Creates a user-defined reference for the miscellaneous production. The document number will be posted with the general ledger (G/L) transaction record when the miscellaneous production is generated. This field may be used for internal tracking and auditing purposes.

Backflush Materials

Select to indicate that the material requirements indicated by the associated work order material requirement record should be issued to the selected work order regardless of the issue method associated with these requirements.

Backflush Operations

Select to indicate that the amount of time and labor indicated by the associated work order operation record will be issued to the selected work order.

Setup By

Enter the name of the user who performed the set up.

Run By

Enter the name of the user who performed the production run.

Note

If the Backflush Operations option is not selected, the setup and run time options will be disabled.

Trans. Date

The transaction date is the date the miscellaneous production activity will hit inventory history and the general ledger. By default, the current date will appear here—unless your Manufacture module is configured to require users to manually enter a date.

Comments

This is a scrolling text field with word-wrapping for entering comments related to the miscellaneous production posting.

Immediate Transfer to Site

Select to transfer miscellaneous production to specified site. Specify the site you want to transfer production to.

Note

Miscellaneous production may not be posted for breeder items.
