Hi All,
We currently post released prod orders with all components set as Manual Flushing and Work Centres set as backward flushing. In order to post both components and WC's we normally open the production jnl and post all components initially and then just 'finish' the prod order (change status) to post the output entries to calculate the WC costs and everything is fine.
However we now want to be able to split the Released order into separate lines so for example header qty 10 but now 2 lines of qty 5. So i refresh the order (components and routings only and not lines) and once again post the jnl to consume the component items.
However the line is still showing as unfinished qty 2 as the WC's have yet to be posted. However as they have been set as backward flushing, (as far as i can tell) it isn't possible to post these entries via the jnl and will only update the released order line entry to finish qty 2 once i have finished (change status) the full released prod order - which is not what we want as still qty of 2 still to be finished. Is there a way to post the WCs if set as backward? I have tried changing to Manual but this means the capacity / costs all need to be entered manually before i can post the jnl which again is not what we want.
I can see on the routings page there is a Routing status and i have changed to Finished but this doesn't appear to done much
I can also see on the jnl there is a Finished Boolean but again once set as TRUE doesn't allow me to post.
Am i missing something?
Thanks and TIA
Andy
