Item Quantities
For each work order operation, you can record the item quantities completed, rejected, and reworked.
Note: Labor feedback transactions cannot be modified or deleted once they have been processed. To reverse the effect of incorrect transactions, you can enter transactions for negative values.
When you enter a transaction, the system moves either the quantity ordered or the quantity reported complete at the last operation to the operation being reported. Which quantity displays depends on the setting of Move Next Operation for the previous operation. The quantity open for an operation is this starting quantity minus the quantities completed and rejected at that operation.
Quantity Completed
The number of acceptable units produced at this operation, used to calculate variances, work center efficiency, and GL transactions:
• If Move Next Operation is Yes, the quantity completed for an operation automatically moves to the next operation. This occurs regardless of whether the previous operation is complete.
• If Move Next Operation is No, the quantity completed for an operation does not affect the quantity open at the next operation.
Set the default value for this field in Shop Floor Control (17.24).
Quantity Rejected
The number of unacceptable units produced at this operation that cannot be moved to the next operation.
Quantity Reworked
The number of unacceptable units requiring additional processing produced at this operation. These do not all need to result in good units that can be moved to the next operation.
Quantities reported as completed, rejected, and reworked do not affect the quantity open for a work order. If the reject quantity significantly reduces the expected receipt quantity for an order, you should use Work Order Maintenance (16.1) to reduce the order quantity to the expected quantity so that MRP plans based on the correct order quantity.
Rejected and reworked quantities are independent of each other. For example, if you report 25 units as rejected and later report 25 units as reworked, the system shows both the reject and rework quantities as 25. If you want to change the reject quantity to zero, you must specify a reject quantity of –25 units.
Reject and rework quantities have no impact on GL, since no transactions are created when they are reported. They are not used to calculate variances or work center efficiency.
