# Transfer WIP from production to project

To track all work details in a project, Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Manufacturing Integration makes it possible to transfer WIP entries from a released production order to a project.

## About this walk-through

This walk-through covers how to set up the WIP transfer and process it. It illustrates the following tasks:

- Check **Manufacturing Setup**.
- Create a production order from a project.
- Post consumption and output to a production order.
- Change the status of the production order to **Finished**.
- Monitor the project WIP and post consumption of the finished item.

## Prerequisites

To complete this walk-through, you need:

- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
- CRONUS International Ltd. demonstration database.
- STAEDEAN Industrial Equipment Manufacturing RapidStart demo set.

## Story

Eduardo is the project planner at CRONUS International Ltd. Eduardo notices from the project planning lines a requirement for part number 1150 and decides to create a production order through **Order Planning**.

## Setup

### Steps - Setup

Make sure the **Transfer WIP from Production to Project** setting in **Manufacturing Setup** is **true**.

1. Choose the ![Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/search_small(3).png) icon (Alt+Q), enter **Manufacturing Setup**, and click the relevant link.
2. Select **Manufacturing Solution Setup** under the **Administration** section to open the setup page.
3. For Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Manufacturing Integration, one setting has been added: **Transfer WIP from Production to Project**.

## Process

### Steps - Create a production order

1. Open a project (or create one) and select a project task of the type **Posting**.
2. Open the **Project Planning Lines**.
3. Add a new line for item 1150 with a quantity of 2.
4. **Release** the project planning line.
5. From the project planning line **Item Planning** menu, open **Order Planning**.
6. On the **Order Planning** page, select **Calculate Plan**. This results in a new line for item 1150.
7. Select the line and click **Make Order**.
8. On the **Make Supply Orders** page, make sure **Make Orders for** is set to **The Active Order** and the **Production Order** field shows **Firm Planned**.
9. Click **OK** to complete the Make Order process.

### Steps - Post consumption and output to the production order

1. From **Order Planning**, return to the **Project Planning** page and from the **Item Planning** menu use **Show Replenishment Document**.
2. In the **Project Relation List**, click the **Production Order** in the **Source Record ID** column.
3. In the **View. Prod. Order Line List**, click **Show Document** to open the firm planned production order.
4. Change the status of the production order to **Released** and open the released production order.
5. Verify that components are in inventory by running **Order Planning** (**Related** > **Order** > **Planning**).
  - If a purchase order has been created, receive the purchase order.
6. From the production order line, open the **Production Journal**.
7. Specify setup and run times and mark the operations as **Finished**.
8. **Post** the production journal.

When the production journal posting is complete, verify the production order work in process from **Related** > **Order** > **Entries**. To transfer these entries to the project, finish the production order.

### Steps - Finish the production order

1. In the released production order, use the **Change Status** action to open the pop-up.
2. Select **Finished** and leave the other options unchanged.
3. When complete, return to the project.
4. Open the **Project Ledger Entries** and note the new entries for use of components and setup and run time.
  - Note that there is no project ledger entry for the finished product because costs are already recorded as details.
  - On the project planning line, the finished product is in reserved inventory.
  - Post the project planning line to create an item ledger entry of the type **Negative Adjustment** to consume or deliver the finished product.
