I Uses the Output journal in combination with routing links for material consumption
By Posting the individual operations the costs get posted correct
However when I finalize the production order the costs get posted again
Do anyone know how I can avoid that
I an using NAV 2015 CU3

Since you have multiple operators then use Production Journal found within the "Released" production order:
How to: Register Consumption and Output for One Released Production order line
To register consumption and output
This execution task is performed in the Production Journal window. The journal combines the functions of the
separate consumption journal and output journals into one journal. The combined journal is accessed directly from
a released production order. Its main purpose is to manually post the consumption of components, the quantity of
end items produced, and the time spent in operations. The values are posted to ledger entries under the released
production order. Consumption quantities are posted as negative item ledger entries, output quantities are posted
as positive ledger entries, and times spent are posted as capacity ledger entries. Such posted values can also be
viewed at the bottom of the journal as actual quantities.
Because consumption data is processed together with output data, this journal offers an opportunity to display linked
components and operations in a logical process structure. Components are indented under their respective operation. This
requires that you use routing link codes.
Components without routing link codes are listed first in the journal.
1. Choose the icon enter Released Prod. Orders, and then choose the related link.
2. Open a released production order line that is ready for registration, and then on the Lines FastTab, choose
the Line action, and then choose the Production Journal action.
The Production Journal window opens showing journal lines for the production order line according to
the Prod. Order Component and Prod. Order Routing windows. These lines originate from the
production BOM and routing assigned to the item that is being produced. For more information, see How
to: Create Production BOMs.
3. In the Posting Date field at the top of the journal, enter a posting date that applies to all lines. The work
date is entered by default. The field is meant as a quick way to align posting dates on all lines, if relevant.
Posting dates entered on individual lines will override this field.
4. In the Flushing Method Filter field at the top of the journal, you can choose to also view consumption and
output that is posted automatically according to the flushing methods defined for the item and resource
respectively.
On each type of line in the journal, only the relevant fields are shown. The rest are blank and writeprotected.
When the journal is opened, it is preset with the quantities to be posted. If nothing is posted so far, all
quantity fields will show by default the expected quantities carried from the production order. If partial
postings have been made, the quantity fields on the lines will show the remaining quantities. The quantities
and times already posted for the order are displayed at the bottom of the journal as actual entries.
Concerning the quantities in the Output Quantity field, you have the option to set up which values to
preset when the journal is first opened. This is done from the Manufacturing Setup window, General
FastTab, in the Preset Output Quantity field.
5. Proceed to enter the relevant consumption and output quantities in the editable fields.
Only the output quantity on the last journal line of entry type Output will adjust the inventory level when posting
the journal. Therefore, do not to post the journal, with the expected output quantity preset on the last output line,
until all end items are actually produced.
6. Select the Finished field of output lines to indicate that the operation is finished. This field is related to the
Routing Status field on a production order routing line.
7. Choose the Post action to register the quantities you have entered and then close the journal.
If values remain to be posted, the journal will contain these remaining values next time it is opened. Posted values
are shown as actual values in the bottom of the journal.
If an item that is being consumed is blocked, the journal will not post consumption quantities for that item. If a machine or
work center is blocked, the journal will not post output quantities or process times for the output line in question.
If you close the journal without posting, the changes will be lost.
The Production Journal window cannot be used by two users simultaneously. This means that if User 2 opens the window
and enters data when User 1 is already working in the window, then User 2 may lose data when User 1 closes the window.
Hi Alfredo
If i understand you correct you suggest
- Either use the Finish box in the output jurnal
- Or change the status of the production order to finished
to get the cost posted
If i dont tick the finished box in the output journal how will other operators knot that the operation is finished ?
Regarding the Actions screen dump does it refer to the Output journal finish box or does it refer to Production order status finish proces ?
Regnar
OK do not tick the "Finished" box if you are changing the status from "Released" to "Finished" outside of the Output Journal. Please note the actions of changing the status to "Finished".
Hi Alfredo
Yes i am finalizing each operation one by one
And the costs are booked accordingly
Once I have finalized last operation I want to change the production order to fished
When that is done the costs get booked one more time
Are you ticking the "Finished" box within the "Output Journal"?
