Title: WO-J job was closed by mistake
Post by Irma on 04/26/11 at 08:44:36

A WO was closed by mistake. Changing status to R on WO-A is not returning the cost back to the job on GL-O. What has to be done to reverse the error?
The total cost was re-enter in WO-H but WO-A summary is duplicating the totals.
If there is a better way, please let me know as soon as you possible can since this week is April's last.

Thank you

You have to undo finish production.
WO-I menu, then press F2, find the WO then follow the screen msgs

:P

Thanks for the info. Finish production was not part of the deal, since the WO was opened reciently and no items were sent to Finish goods at that point. Do you know any other way?

Thank you again

any extra cost entered on WO-H can be "undo" by selecting the transaction and click on the "Back Out" button.
when a work order is close "finish production" will be trigger and the cost will be send to the GL, you "undo it" by backing up finish production.

1.- change the status from C to R
2.- backup any extra cost on WO-H
3.- Undo finish production

This will reverse any posting on the GL from that particular Work Order

Dear Kelloggs,

Thank you again, but seems like the subject in question has been changed.

The question is how to put the cost back on place once the WO has been closed by mistake.

The order was closed via WO-J. There was not finish goods attached to it.

In order to put the cost back into the WO, an entry on WO-H (Misc cost) was created, but the summary on WO-A shows the cost twice, Is there any other way to fix the error?

I appreciate your help

We just test it. Yes you are right.
when closing a wo on WO-J it will not move the "item" from wip to the inventory. No finish production is done.
the cost is moved to the WIP Variance account

Did some testing.....
We close a WO using WO-J, a journal entry is made and an amount is debit to the WIP Variance Account
We reopen the WO then do finish production.
reopen the WO, undo finish production.

The journal entries are not reverse. but the Work in Progress is debit again (this is good)
then we made a journal entry: credit WIP Variance and debit Finish Goods.

04/27/1 097 53411 600565- 1 Close WO - WIP Varia 5085 UMC WIP VARIANCE EXPENSE 4,127.3
04/27/1 097 53411 600565- 1 Close WO - WIP Varia 1355 UNI WORK IN PROGRESS (DB 4,127.3
04/27/1 097 53411 600565- 1 Receipt from WO Back 1360 UNI FINISHED GOODS (DBA) 4,127.3
04/27/1 097 53411 600565- 1 Receipt from WO Back 1355 UNI WORK IN PROGRESS (DB 4,127.3

GL is ok, Inventory is OK.

soo, if a wo is close by mistake , reopen it then do a reverse jornal entry. No need to mess up with finish production.
sorry for the wrong advice
:'(

Mr. Kelloggs,

The GL part is not a big deal.

The real issue is how to put the cost back into the WO, since the transaction is addressed by WO number. When reversing the mistake via GL transaction, will not bring the cost back to the specific WO where it belongs.

Thanks for your help, we need to try something else.

I think I am having the same problem that Irma had.

I accidentally closed a WO before I entered finish production. I reopened the Work Order and entered finished production, then I closed the Work Order.
But sadly when I print JC-M (work in progress sumary) there is a zero in the Finish production bucket and there is money in the WIP variance.
1. How do i keep this from happening?
2 How do i move the money from WIP Variance to finish production where it belongs?

Thanks
Laura

p.s.
It probably doesn't matter in our situation because we dont send WO stuff to the GL.
Thanks
Laura
