physical inventory for WIP
Hi All,
I'm looking for a tool to do a physical inventory for work in process on production order. How do you handle this issue in your company?

HI,
I will tell you how we did in our company, considering as well that we had a need to identify each WIP pallet/crate with an unique number as well.
- in the order confirmation (co11n) we used the External Key fields to record the unique WIP pallet/crate # (through an ABAP we managed to control this) therefore we will have a unique ORDER/WIP ID/Qty (that can be also managed in partial confirmations = same ID # done for same order confirmation different posting date and shift (we used the CREATED BY field to identify the id of shift i.e. 1 = 6am - 2pm, 2 - 2pm - 10pm...)
When you have all those info's you can use the COOIS to display your WIP based on Ext Key or anything else and if you find variations you can adjust (cancel / reverse / etc.) by scrap, reverse also all the way back to stock (IM/WM) depending on complexity of routings by different posting date / shift / adding also some text to remind what was the problem)...
Hope this helped you thinking
