Transfer WIP method

If in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session, the Financial Transactions by Work Center check box is selected, use the Transfer WIP method field to specify when the WIP is transferred from one work center to the next. You can choose between the following options:

  • Always
    The transfer is performed when a quantity is reported as complete. The delivering work center must be different from the receiving work center,
  • Only upon Completion
    The transfer is performed when the whole operation is reported as completed. The delivering work center is different from the receiving work center.

If the setting is Always, every time a quantity is reported as completed, financial transactions take place. If the setting is Only upon Completion, financial transactions only take place once, when the whole operation is completed. Therefore, the setting Only upon Completion results in less transactions, which means less database growth and a better performance of the production order completion process.
