Re: PCC MOs become Status 55 by themselves?

Hi Bill Mongan:

We move MOs to Status 45 after the Receipt from
Manufacturing (RM) is recorded for the product produced by
the MO.  At this point, all the Material issues, Outside
Processing charges and earlier labor have been charged to
the MO.

> "...and you report labor complete through shop floor reporting (and I'm not sure of the exact process, but there is some type of completion code for time or quantity reported complete), then the MO moves to status 55 naturally."
As far as I know (or understand), we do not use any
Payroll Completion Code on the MO.  We post payroll on
Wednesdays to the MOs for the previous week's payroll
ending on a Sunday.

After the MO is moved to Status 55, we wait an additional
week before we purge the MO to IM MO History just in case
there are late costs (ususally Payroll and possibly
Outside Processing) that didn't get posted to the MO.

In looking at the MOs that were moved to Status 55
yesterday (Thursday) by our production person, I find that
28 additional MOs appeared on the in-house report that
were not authorized to be Status 55.

This is the problem that I have here.  These unauthorized
Status 55 MOs have to be reactivated to Status 40 so that
other charges (usually Payroll) can be posted to them.

The X-File adventure continues.  Have a nice weekend.
