Re: Shop order close

[Alister Wm Macintyre <macwheel99@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have in BPCS 405 CD sometimes after production started, the customer 
requirements fluctuate, so the order was for 500 but we make 250 and want 
to stop there, or we have to interrupt some setup for something more 
urgent, and the interrupted job got 450 done out of 500 and we not want to 
do the last 50 on THAT order.

The fix is not exactly intuitive so with people turnover there is risk of 
forgetting how to get all the inventory and labor correct without causing a 
variance.
1. Downsize the shop order with SFC540 maintenance to the quantity that was 
actually made.
In your case, change the quantity 100 order to the 98 you actually made.
2. Enter a zero transaction in SFC600 ... made zero quantity, had zero 
scrap, did it in zero hours.
When this transaction is posted, BPCS sees that the order is for 98, we 
made 98, we consumed materials to make 98, so it closes all the operations 
and the overall order.  There are no cost variations.
