The WIP Inspection programs enable you to inspect made-in stock items before accepting them into stock. The items are received from the job, into inspection and can then either be returned for rework, or scrapped, or accepted into stock.
The following steps are required to enable jobs to be receipted into inspection:
Select the option: Work in Progress inspection required (WIP Setup - General 1 tab).
Optionally select the options: Capture serials at end of WIP inspection and Capture lots at end of WIP inspection (WIP Setup - General 1 tab).
This depends on whether you want to capture lot and/or serial number information at the time a lot traceable or serialized item is receipted into inspection or only when you accept the item from inspection into stock..
For each made-in stocked item that you want to receipt into inspection, ensure that the Lot traceability option is set to either Traceable or Inspection required (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking).
Define the key type you want to use for inspection references (Company Maintenance - Key Types tab).
Define the WIP inspection document selection you require (WIP Setup - General 2 tab).
If you require inspection documents to be printed, then:
Define the WIP inspection numbering method required (WIP Setup - Numbering tab).
If you selected WIP inspection numbering to be Automatic, then also define the Next WIP inspection number to use (WIP Setup - Numbering tab).
If your Work in Progress module is integrated to the General Ledger (General Ledger Integration - General Ledger tab), then you need to define a WIP inspection control account to hold the value of goods receipted into inspection.
This can be done by:
Defining the WIP inspection control account in the WIP Inspection field on the W.I.P tab of the General Ledger Integration program or
Defining the WIP inspection control account against each warehouse by entering the account in the WIP inspection field of the Browse on Warehouses program.
Optionally define passwords against WIP inspection activities using the Password Definition program.
Passwords applicable to WIP inspection are:
Optionally disable the WIP inspection control activities that can be performed by each operator using the Operators program. These include:
The sequence of steps typically used to receipt a made-in stocked item into inspection is as follows:
Use the Job Entry program to create a job for the made-in item.
Use the Job Issues program to issue all the component parts and labor allocations to the confirmed job.
Use the Job Receipts program to receive the item(s) from the job.
An inspection reference is created for the item.
Use the WIP Inspection Maintenance program to receive the item into inspection.
Optionally scrap, send for rework or accept the item into stock.
Optionally print the inspection document required.
Optionally use the WIP Inspection Report program to produce a report listing the manufactured quantity, the quantities in inspection, accepted, scrapped and reworked per inspection reference.
Optionally use the program to produce a report enabling you to verify the value of items receipted into inspection, those accepted, scrapped and reworked and the value of items remaining in inspection.
If the option: Create GL journal is not selected for Inventory (General Ledger Integration), then run the Inventory GL Integration program to ensure that all the General Ledger journals for transactions processed are created.
If the option: Post GL journal is not selected for Inventory (General Ledger Integration), then use the GL Journal Entry program to post the journals into the General Ledger.
Optionally generate the Inventory Journal Report and Inventory GL Distribution reports for audit trail purposes.
