negative material cost on work orders
03/17/09 at 09:10:21
 
Some of our work orders are showing negative material cost. Some don't even have material issued to them. How do we fix this. I think we need to go behind the scenes, but where do we go to do this.
 
 
Thanks

I would start by looking at how your inventory component parts on the BOM are classified.  I have had production put an item I deemed as N- Non Inventory and classified as such in a BOM then they changed it to a P-Purchased Part. Or vice versa a P changed to an N but not taken of the BOM. The timing is important here because if they changed it half way thru production not at the beginning.  If that is the case be sure to look at your COGS as well to make sure exactly where it is being expensed to.  In order to fix I believe (its been awhile since I had to fix this issue) you need to correct the N or P issue, check the correct pricing, check the BOM (I can't remember if I did a rollup on this before the next step or not), and then run WO-K-H to Rebuild the work order costs.  I also limited who has access to the IN-E after that.  Haven't had a problem since.

The net total cost of material should agree with the JC-E report total for the work order.  If they do not, you can use WO-K-H to recalculate the work order total.

What in the list  of material issues on the JC-E report  is making the total negative?  Did someone back out of an issue by entering a negative issue in WO-G and use the incorrect work order number?

I'm not sure if that what happened but what can I do to fix this? The material is negative and on some of them there is not even any material showing it was issued to the job on the workorder.
