Company finished work orders that were created by a production plan.
Process loss was merely 1 unit. And indeed, we expect this, and it was recorded in the stock entry as a loss… But Production Plans don’t seem to expect it, and won’t mark as complete.
I don’t think this is the correct behavior. Is it a bug? was this overlooked?
I don’t like that the workaround is to ‘close’ the production plan.
I will put this is as an issue if I find the Forum agrees.
I don’t think this is a bug.
If you’re planning for 100 qty, you need to produce the 100 to finish the production plan. In case of process loss, I think the production plan allows you to create an extra Work Order no?
Am I to believe that I can plan to make 100. create work orders for 100. provide raw materials for 100. and production makes 99 there’s 0 tolerance in the ‘plan’ for process loss?
Do I really create a work order for 1 item? Do I save that production plan for the next time we work that product months from now? And then work off 2 production plans?
It seems that if, in the work order that I link to the Production plan, I report process loss of 1 the Production plan should count it as completed.
I should also note that the Work Orders show completed when you factor in the process loss.
This makes sense to me.
Production plans don’t do this… And I understand that there are some manufacturing users that fulfill plans over multiple sets of work orders. I.e. generate work orders for 50 and then later for another 50.
But both of those sets of consumed raw materials were planned from the from the beginning of the ‘production plan’. If they added up (including the process loss) to the amount of raw materials that a production plan was projected to consume than the plan should then recognize itself as completed.
Right?
It’s a small thing. I can just mark them as closed. I just can’t see how other manufacturing users might disagree… Thus, I brought it to the forum
