Title: Reversing WIP items issued from PO's
Post by Chris Clark on 11/01/07 at 16:55:39

I have items that have been rec'd into WIP directly from a PO. I want to reverse these items now since they were not used on the Work Order. The PO is now fully closed but the Work Order is still open. What is the best way to reverse these items? Do I just issue negative amounts thru WO-G?

Be careful because if you perform a negative work order issue, the parts may not come out of the work order at the SAME cost that they went into the work order on the PO Job Receipt.

We usually re-open the PO, ask purchasing to modify the PO so that the unused pcs wil go to stock, rather than a work order.
We enter a negative receipt qty to remove these pcs directly from the original work order, then re-receive the unused items on the new PO line to make them go to stock.

Remember to inform Accounts Payable, that these two transactions must be cleared by them via AP-C, and then they can re-close the purchase order.

Thanks for your response. That makes good sense but is time consuming since I've actually got a dozen items across several PO's to take care off. Alternatively could I just scrap the items thru WO-G then manually adjust inventory? I wonder if the scrap process will back out the proper dollar values.

Thanks,
Chris

If it doesn't matter that the cost of these unused parts is in the work order job costs,
the EASIEST way to get these parts back into inventory is to use IN-C, and add them back to inventory at $0. (there is no scrap process required)

This keeps inventory count accurate and the next time you need to use these parts, the work order's profitabily will increase from the $0 value of the parts.
