RE: WIP Location/Warehouse.

You can setup a location for each of your production lines.  Then transfer
material from the stock location to the line location.  Set the back flush
from the line location.  PCC can be setup to back flush by mile stone
reporting operation.  You also might want to consider using the REP
application as this handles this much better than PCC.

Subject: WIP Location/Warehouse.


Does anyone have any experience with creating a WIP location or warehouse.

Here is our problem we issue raw material to MO's basically into a black
hole.  We then RM Finished Goods into the same warehouse.  Our problem is we
lose track of what may still be left in WIP.  We have been asked to come up
with a solution that would give us a perpetual of WIP.  The idea is simple
but I don't know how to get the system to do it.

Have a warehouse/location for WIP, transfer raw material for MO's there then
have this warehouse/location backflushed when an MO is RM into Finished
Goods inventory.  

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
