Updating Inventory Control and Global Ledger

After completing the production feedback for work orders, Inventory Control and Global Ledger must be updated for the inventory items that are used and produced. Global Ledger must also be updated for the cost of burdens. In addition, the actual cost of the finished goods produced for the work order is determined.

The Production Feedback status for the work order must be in the Finished status. Running the Warehouse Production Feedback program changes the work order status to Completed.

Running Warehouse Production Feedback updates the Inventory Control solution with the component quantity used and the cost of finished goods produced. The Global Ledger solution is updated with the costs of components and burdens that went into the finished goods and the cost of component waste.
