Title: Backing out work orders
Post by lesleys on 03/25/11 at 10:11:40

We have had some issues when trying to back out material issued to a work order by mistake.
In some cases it freezes and does the transaction 1/2 way. The record shows that the material was added back in IN A but still shows in WO A that it has been issued.
Also IN E is not reversed and now IN A and IN E do not match.

Has anyone else experienced this or knows of a fix program to correct it.
We are running classic have ran the fix DBA program and have rebooted the system.

We use Evo, but we reverse WO's regularly, mostly without problems. Here is what we do and what we get...

We re-open the WO, if closed. Then run WO-I, hitting F2 and the first (date) field, where we look up the transaction we want to reverse.

When found, we select the transaction, which returns us to the WO-I screen where we hit Tab and get the question about reversing the transaction. We say Yes and the portion of the transaction that put the finished item into stock is reversed.

At that point all components are still in WIP. If we want to clear all parts back out of the WO, including type N and type L items on the BOM, we just use WO-J to cancel the order and all parts "Un-backflush" into inventory.

The only time we have problems is when there are serialized components that were issued to the WO, but that is not often the case.

This works for us and we use it about 3 or 4 times per week.

Thank you but I do not think this will work for us. We back out several times a week as well. My problem is sometimes it works and other times it only does it 1/2 way. In classic you go to work order issue WO-G, choose display material transactions, pick the transaction to be backed out and hit enter. It then asks is you want to back out. When choosing yes the system does all transactions in all fields. This problem just started in the last few months.

Ah. For WO-G I always issue a negative quantity to un-issue items or kits.

You should be able to back it out in the same screen. Then you have a record. We used to just do a neg in the issue screen but found out this was the "correct" way a few years back.

I used that technique mostly for un-scrapping items expensed to indirect WOs. We kit issue and then make small adjustments. Neither of these scenarios lend themselves to undoing previous transactions.
