| In this issue, we will discuss how Work Orders are created and maintained. A Work Order forms the bases for Items to be Issued for production and also for Production Credit Notes to be raised to updated the Finished Goods Stock in the Product profile. The ‘Product Avg Cost’ in Product profile is auto updated based on the Total Cost incurred. The ‘WO Status’ has to be ‘In Progress’ for Items to be issued for production and also Production Credit Notes to be created. Once the production process if completed for a Work Order and the necessary Production Credit Notes are created it is recommended that you should set the ‘WO Status’ to ‘Completed’. This will prevent Items being wrongly issued to a completed Work Order and also Production Credit Notes being created. |
