Order Status
Via the status of the manufacturing order with linked purchase order, you here select for which of these purchase orders to calculate WIP. Depending on whether your manufacturing is to finished stock or customer orders, you select different order status options. The available alternatives are:
- Started, not finished - is used if a part in an order has Status 3 (Started), and the main part of the order does not have Status 4 (Finished) or higher. This is usually used during manufacturing to finished stock, since the orders reported as finished are counted as inventory value instead. This option is selected by default. Only the purchase orders that are linked to manufacturing orders which have a main part that is not reported as finished, will be included in the WIP calculation.
- Started, not delivered - is used if a part in an order has Status 3 (Started), and the main part of the order does not have Status 6 (Delivered) or higher. This is normally used for manufacturing to customer orders, since the M-parts reported as finished are then calculated as WIP value until the customer order is delivered, when they become an income. This alternative also includes the purchase orders linked to a manufacturing order with the main part reported as finished, in the WIP calculation.
