To capture all costing details in the project, Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Manufacturing Integration makes it possible to transfer the WIP from a finished production order to a project. In this way, the production department is fully integrated in the project organization. If WIP is not transferred, the production department is considered an "internal supplier," responsible for its own results.
Switch this function on in Manufacturing Setup: Transfer WIP from Production to Project.
All consumption and output entries from the production order are copied to project ledger entries. For this purpose, additional project ledger entry types have been created: Machine Center and Work Center.
The transfer takes place when the status of the production order is set to Finished.
Note
There is no project ledger entry for the finished product because all detail entries are already in the project. When the project planning line for the finished product is posted, only an item ledger entry of the type Negative Adjustment is created.
When Transfer WIP from Production to Project is off, posting the project planning line for the finished product creates both a project ledger entry and an item ledger entry.
