Title: All costs of closed WO went to VIP Variance
Post by gtladmin on 05/20/09 at 07:46:43

Nancy sent me this problem:

We just had a problem with a WO that was closed yesterday. All the
costs went to WIP Variance instead of to the part.

The costs of the material issued was correct. If I took the total parts
issued divide by the # parts issued to finished prod, the amount was
exactly what went into WIP variance. The part # is a finished part.
Prior WO's were correct.

Can you please ask how this could happen? We need to know what
drives this kind of issue.

Anybody have any ideas?

Val

At what cost were the parts finished?

Cathy,

Nancy says " Issued at actual costs.". Is that what you are asking?

If all of the Standard Costs were zero at the time the WO was issued, I guess it would put all of the actual to WIP. But that doesn't make much sense. I suppose there may be some other way to set the projected costs to zero for a WO, but why would anyone do that?

No I meant at what cost was the finished part # finished at in WO-I Enter Finished PRoduction. I have seen all the costs for a finished good part# go to WIP variance when either
1) The part was not actually finished in WO-I before it was closed or
2) The work order was finished at $0 actual cost because the actual cost was not updated in the finish production process and was not correct.

Hope this helps..

I'll forward your response to Nancy and see what she says.

Thank you!
