Hi All,
We have outsourced MO's that are still having amount pending in WIP labor GL account even after closing the MO. We are moving those amount manually at the end of month.
But what could be the reason for this amount to remain in WIP labor even after closing the MO?? We also do partial receiving of MO and GRN's. Will this be a problem??
If receiving the GRN after completing the MO is cause of this?? If anybody can shed some light on this it would be much helpful.
Thanks,
Arun.
Hello Arun,
There would be no MO setup that would stop an outsourcing receipt from appearing in the MO Activity window for an MO. As I mentioned above, it was either not associated with the MO or the MO was closed prior to the outsourcing receipt posting. Another possiblity is that there were posting issues when you posted the outsourcing receipt.

Yes Becky I meant Outsourcing receipt entry in MO Activity. is there any way this could be stopped?? Is there any setting in MO setup to stop this?
Hello Arun,
I am not sure what you mean by "entry is not found in MO's". I am assuming you mean the Outsourcing receipt does not appear in the MO Activity window for this MO. If the outsourcing receipt does not appear in the MO Activity window, the outsouring PO was not linked to the MO or the outsourcing receipt was brought in after the MO was closed.

Thank you Becky, but I would like to elaborate the partial receiving scenario so that I can give it to you correctly,
MO Qty 10
GRN partially received 5 Qty and MO partially completed for 5 Qty
After some days, remaining 5 Qty is received through GRN and remaining MO qty 5 is completed.
Will this impact the WIP labor? I have gone through multiple MO's to find this, only difference I could find is there is a line entry for Outsourcing in MO's which are correctly processed, and this entry is not found in MO's which are wrong.
Is there any way to correct this wrong MO's? And is there a way to control this? This is becoming a nightmare when auditing.
Thanks,
Arun.
Hello Arun,
Yes, it could. If you are doing partial receipts and then complete the MO prior to receiving all items, there will be cost left in WIP for the oursourcing receipt. However, when you close the MO, these cost will be removed and placed in a variance account.
Thank you Becky. Yes we are using GRN a POP Receipt for Outsourcing PO. There are several MO's were receipt is received before MO is complete. Those MO's are not having any problem. But there are MO which are partially received, for those partially completed MO's GRN is also partially received. I am not sure how GP handles this partial receipt. Will this partial receiving impact ?
Hello Arun,
Thank you for using Community Forums. My name is Becky and I will assist you.
Is a GRN, a pop receipt for the outsourcing PO?
As long as the outsourcing PO was linked to an MO, there should be no cost left in you WIP labor GL account after the MO is closed.
If you receive the outsourcing PO after the MO Receipt, the cost will not be applied to the finished good, and they will remain in WIP until the MO is closed.
If you receive the outsourcing PO after the MO is closed, the cost will remain in WIP and not be removed.
If you are receiving the outsourcing PO before you complete the MO receipt, the cost should go into the finished good, and be removed from WIP.
If you are receiving the outsourcing PO prior to the MO close, I would suggest opening a support incident for a technician to take a look.
