Opening Finished Production Orders/adjusting consumption+output

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 55

We’re running into recurring issues on subcontracted purchase orders (with linked Released Production Orders) where our co-manufacturers are reporting incorrect consumption/output, and we only find out 4-6 weeks after the manufacturing run ends. We’ve been leaving the RPOs open until all inventory is picked up, but this sometimes happens up to 2 months after the production run ends and it’s affecting down the line costing/financial reports.

 

Once the Released Production Order is finished and moved to the Finished Production Order table, is there a way to reopen finished production orders and update what was produced/consumed? If not, are there better ways to adjust the inventory and make sure that the invoiced amount is correct (ie we’re invoicing the true amount not the original reported amount)? We're working on improving coman communication to reduce the frequency but will still need to resolve this every so often.

    out of box, there is no way to undo a finished production order. therefore extreme care needs to be taken to change orders to finished to ensure the posting is right. I heard there are people who built extensions to undo that for NAV.
    Since there are no clean way to reverse this, you might consider the followings
     
    1 use item journal to adjust items to true up your inventory
    2 manually reverse posted capacities if needed
    3 use item revaluation journal to revalue the finished product. BC allow user to revaluate items per item ledger entry, so it might help.

    Hi gdrenteria,
     
    Unfortunately that will only help the inventory levels match and would have costing implications. Especially since this is a subcontracted PO, we need to update the total on the RPO so we can update the total tolling on the PO (ie what we're paying for processing)
