Production Receipt issue

I have a BOM/Prod receipt issue when it posts the inventory account for the parent (FG) item...here is my BOM

Parent item (FG) set as inventoried and has a GL called FG

Child Components - set to GL called RAW (auto backflush)

Sub Assy component - set to GL called WIP (manual backflush)

     child components - set to GL RAW

When the Sub Assy is created it pulls those child components from RAW and puts the Sub Assy into WIP (this entry is correct)

When the parent item (FG) is completed (receipt from Prod), it makes a post pulling the child components from RAW BUT hits the WIP inventory for this FG item...also completely ignoring the Sub Assy component....which I would assume it would pull the WIP (Sub Assy) and send all the inventory for the parent to (FG) which is what is set on the item

Is there something missing in any part of setting up a BOM that would tell it to go to the right GL account??? I have checked all areas and the GL's are accurate for all the items, the BOM is set up accurate and assigned properly to price lists and warehouses.

The GL is determined by Item group in this DB

Version 8.81 p11

any thoughts?? Thanks

When you report completion of your FG, the posting will be to credit the Inventory Account and Debit the WIP Account assigned to the FG item.

When the components are issued, the components will debit the FG assigned WIP account and Credit the child components assigned Inventory account.

That is the issue...when we do the receipt from production it is not debiting the Stock Account...its hitting whatever account that sits in the WIP field within the item group.  My sub assy works fine, but the parent (FG) acts the same as the sub assy entry.  Your screen shot is perfect and its what I want 🙂 but I am not getting those results.  Very odd.

For the finished product, make sure you have the following:

Item Master::Inventory Data::Set G/L Accounts By = Item Group.

Item Master::Item Group = Finished Goods Item Group

Item Group for Finished Goods:: Inventory Account set to the correct account.

If this is all this is set correctly, then this is probably a bug.

Yep all set up properly...sending SAP the DB to analyze, again thanks for the feedback

There may also be an issue with the document settings.

Go to Admin -> System Admin. -> Document Settings -> Per Document Tab -> Production Order. There is a setting for 'Use for components transactions'. There are two choices. Component WIP Account and Parent Item WIP Account. I had an issue once where it was set to child which makes for some very interesting WIP and Variance Postings, they all work but I personally prefer the simplicity of parent driven WIP postings.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

I am afraid unless your Sub Assy component setup as a phantom, your desired posting may not be available because production order can only handle one level at a time.

I completely understand Gordon, for the sub assy there is a production order and a receipt to bring in the sub inventory at the single level, so I would only expect the parent item receipt to act and post using the single level.  But thank you for the info as it is still good to know all this as sometime you can lose site when your process is not going the way you want it.
