WIP Adjustment

Form ID: (AM308000)

You can use this form to correct (increase or decrease) the costs of production orders. The adjustment amount is posted to the account specified in each row of the transaction. You can view the adjustment totals on the Totals tab of the Production Order Maintenance (AM201500) form.

Additionally, the system can create WIP adjustment transactions in the following cases; these transactions cannot be edited:

When users close production orders on the Close Production Orders (AM506000) form. These WIP adjustment transactions reconcile the work in process amount with the inventory receipt.
When users record scrap in a labor transaction on the Labor (AM301000) form or in a move transaction on the Move (AM302000) form. The system creates a WIP adjustment transaction when the labor or move transaction is released. For more information, see Scrap Cost Calculation: Generated Transactions.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands are listed in the following table.

Attention:

If the WIP adjustment transaction has been created by using the Labor (AM301000) or Move (AM302000) form—that is, if the identifier of a labor or move transaction is specified in the Orig. Batch Nbr. box of the Summary area of the current form—the WIP adjustment transaction cannot be released or deleted on this form. For such a transaction, the Release and Delete buttons are unavailable even if the transaction has the On Hold or Balanced status.

Summary Area


Element	Description
Batch Nbr.	The reference number of the WIP adjustment transaction. The number is assigned automatically or you enter the number manually, depending on the settings of the numbering sequence specified in the WIP Adjust Numbering Sequence box on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form.
Control Amount	The control amount of the transaction. You enter this amount, and the system makes sure that it is equal to the value of the Total Amount box. If the amounts differ, an error message is displayed and you cannot release the transaction. This box is displayed only if the Validate Document Totals on Entry check box is selected on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form.
Total Amount	The total amount of the transaction, which is the sum of the values in the Cost Adj. column.
Status	The status of the transaction. The status of the transaction set by the system. The value in this box can be one of the following: On Hold: The transaction is a draft and can be edited. You cannot release the transaction. Balanced: The transaction has been validated by the system and is ready to be released. You can put the transaction on hold to modify or delete it. Released: The transaction has been released. You cannot modify or delete the transaction.
Hold	A check box that indicates (if selected) that the transaction has the On Hold status and can be modified or deleted. When you clear the check box, the status is changed to Balanced. The check box is selected for new transactions automatically if the Hold Documents on Entry check box is selected on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form.
Date	The date when the transaction was created. By default, the system inserts the business date, but you can change this date. You can enter only a date that corresponds to a financial period that has been generated on the Master Financial Calendar (GL201000) form. If the date that you enter belongs to a financial period that has not yet been generated in the system—for example, for a date in the distant future or past—the system will display an error message, and you will not be able to save the document.
Post Period	The financial period to which the transaction amount is posted. The period is calculated based on the date.

You can click the link to open the corresponding form and view the details of the original transaction details.
