Trying to learn GP MFG. Trying to post a partial MO receipt received this message. Not exactly sure what this is referring to. This is the first partial receipt. Issued all items, performed 1 DC for direct labor then attempted to do a partial MO receipt. Has anyone experienced this message before?

Tried to post a screen shot but guess it wasn't accepted. Message is: “You can’t post this receipt because the labor and/or machine costs to be used are greater than the amount available in WIP”

Please allow me to re-use this post. I am getting the same message. In my case I am entering a MO Receipt for a simple MO with 2 components. I am not dealing with any Labor or Machine at this time. What should I check to resolve this message and post the MO Receipt?

Did you setup routing(Select Manufacturing>Cards>Routings>Routing Entry)? If not, you will get this message.

Greetings................the message relates to a Manufacturing Setup - there is a check box for 'Allow Negative WIP'.

You captured direct labor against the MO - if the FG item is standard cost and the amount of Direct Labor captured against the MO is less than the standard labor cost - then logically the partial FG Receipt will drive WIP negative (because direct labor captured is less than the standard labor associated with the FG receipt you're trying to post).............it's kind of complicated to explain. You may need to change the mfg setups - recreate the MO (sometimes setup changes won't 'fix' or effect existing MO's)...........

good luck

Hello everyone, I'm having the same issue.

I received an MO via Quick MO and my accounts are behaving correctly. When I receive (partial or full) via MO Receipt Entry, my accounts are not behaving correctly.

Any advice?
