Is the stockroom warehouse and the wip warehouse in the same facility?  BPCS 
does not cross facilities to allocate inventory to shop orders.

when we set up BPCS we were told that it runs best if we set up multiple 
warehouses. at the minimum we should have one warehouse that is the stockroom 
warehouse and one that is the WIP warehouse. all work orders are cut in the WIP 
warehouse. as such the shop order requirements for component material are also 
in the WIP warehouse. in order to issue component material, either manually or 
via back flushing, we must go to the stockroom warehouse and transfer the 
component material to the WIP warehouse. we can then perform the component 
issue (again either manually or via back flush). when the parent part is 
completed we report completion on the against the work order, and this puts the 
parent part into inventory in the WIP warehouse. we must then transfer it into 
the stockroom warehouse.

is this the normal BPCS methodology?  if not, are there better methods?
