Just-in-Time Production Transactions

"Just-In-Time" (JIT) production is typically used for the production of items that have a standard cost and that you want to be able to produce on demand. It is based on the idea of producing items that are not tied to specific job orders or production schedules, and transactions are only recorded when the item is actually finished. This form allows you enter such items into inventory.

If the Warehouse, Location, or Lot fields change, the grid on the Pieces tab automatically refreshes to retrieve the corresponding records.

When using this form:

• The item must be set up with a Cost Type of Standard on the Items form.
• Materials and labor are backflushed from the item's current routing and Bill of Material (BOM).
  Note:  The current routing and BOM for an item are determined by settings on the Items form, the Current Operations form, and the Current Materials form.
• The item must have a standard BOM. For more information about setting up the standard BOM, see Standard Costing Setup.

For the procedure to create a JIT production transaction, see Creating JIT Transactions.

These tabs are available on this form:

• Use the Serial Numbers tab or area when you issue or receive a serial-tracked item. On some forms, this tab or area of the form is enabled after you enter the serial-tracked item's quantity and any other required information such as location. On other forms, the fields on this tab are enabled when you select Preassign Serials.
• Use the Backflush Lots tab to select lot-tracked items for inclusion in a backflushing operation. To generate a list of potential lot-tracked items, click Generate Lots. Then from the list that is returned, select the items to include in the backflush. This tab is enabled only if the Backflush Lot Numbers option is selected on the Inventory Parameters form.
• Use the Backflush Serials tab to select serial-tracked items for inclusion in a backflushing operation. To generate a list of potential serial-tracked items, click Generate Serials. Then from the list that is returned, select the items to include in the backflush. This tab is enabled only if the Backflush Serial Numbers option is selected on the Inventory Parameters form. However, if the items are both lot-tracked and serial-tracked, and the grid on the Backflush Lots tab is populated, this tab is disabled until the Target Qty equals the Selected Qty on the Backflush Lots tab.
