Production Feedback (WO40.1)

Use Production Feedback (WO40.1) to type the actual quantities of finished goods and byproducts produced and components used (or wasted) for the work order, along with the actual burden costs. If you enter an actual finished good quantity that is less than the planned quantity and select the add form action, you must decide whether or not to split the work order.

More Information

If you split the work order, a second work order is created with a non-zero suffix attached to the work order number. For example, if you split work order number 47, two work orders are created: 47-0 and 47-1. Work order 47-0 contains the completed items, work order 47-1 contains the uncompleted items.

The actual costs shown on this form prior to production feedback update are costs determined within the processing for the online feedback process to give an idea of what to expect for costs, so that tolerance checking on finished good costs can be used. The final value for actual cost of components will be determined in the Production Feedback Update, when the components are removed from inventory. The work order must in the In Production status.

Production feedback is completed when you select the Release form action and run the production feedback update program to update the General Ledger and Inventory Control applications. Note: You cannot change production feedback data after selecting the Release form action.
