Allows Production Orders to be closed in specified period

[siewyuen_see]

To allow work order/production order to be closed in targeted period instead of current system date.

At the same time, the journal for the variance should be created in the targeted period.

Where business operations are concerned, the production is completed on the last day of the previous month. Due to some reason, the user did not close the production order in the previous month. On the 1st day of the next month, then the user close production order. This causes variance to be posted to the wrong accounting period. It should be posted in the previous period instead of current period.

Hi Siew,

Closing Date does not have to follow the System Date, it is only a default. Change the Actual Closing Date on the Summary tab on Production Order screen to any date as required.

Cheers,

Hi Marini

The issue reported is for 2005. In 2005, the Actual Closing Date does not allow entry.

I tested in 2007, it is okay.

hi,

Solution 1:

Alert can be raised to user/supervisor using query based on conditons

Solution 2:

Develop add on using SDK.

Solution 1 is feasible one,Problem can also be solved by listing down activities to be completed at

end of month in production module & ask user to adhere to it.

Hi Jeyakanthan

It is not that the users forget to close the production order, but at times, there are just too many things on the last day of the month.....

Anyway, it seems ok in 2007, so have to ask the customer to upgrade..

Thanks
