Inventory flow for production section

V6.1.01 MM on AS/400

We are now want to apply routings and capacity planning.  Of course, we also 
need to absorb the related cost into the WIP items.  According to the BPCS 
documentation (previous version), WIP warehouse(s) and locations are needed.  
Then question comes out.  Though we know that such WIP warehouses and locations 
are virtual, system do not know.  Then, from the system point of view, they are 
the same as others, e.g. main store.
Q1. Are those WIP whs and locs really virtual and no stock
    can exist under them?
Q2. How can we do from the production issue to FG receipt?
    If we use single or multiple issue as usual, we just
    take those stock out of store.  How about the WIP whs?
    Do we need to use other transaction type to store in
    those components in the WIP whs? If yes, do we use
    trans type 'W' (WIP transfer) to trasnfer from one
    loc (cost collect points) to another loc? How do we
    cancel out those components in WIP whs and loc while
    receipting that FG to FG store (use issue w/ receipt)?

Thanks a trillion for all your support and help.

Best regards,
Brian Pang
