Ship WIP to Supplier

Explanation

Use this activity to update the quantity of items shipped to the supplier.

Note: You can break the outside operation into several shipments to the supplier. You cannot ship more items than are required for the operation or are reported in the operation prior to the outside operation.

Prerequisites

This activity requires that a quantity of parts be reported on the operation prior to the outside operation.

System Effects

• As a result of this activity, the system updates the outside operation to reflect the quantity shipped to the supplier.
• This changes the outside operation status to In Process.
• A Work In Process (WIP) transaction is created.
• If non-issued material is linked to the operation, it is issued automatically in the same quantity as the shipped quantity.

Note: The value for the WIP transaction is calculated based on the estimated cost calculation for the shop order and the quantity shipped to the supplier. This means that variations in WIP, either positive or negative, due to differences from standard, such as changes in lot size, material issued, or time reported, will always remain in the shop order internal WIP. These variances will not be transferred to WIP at supplier.
