Final reporting

In this procedure you can in a list update the status of finished manufacturing orders either to status 6 (delivered) or 9 (historical).

One purpose of final reporting is to finish/complete the manufacturing order and lock it for further reporting, by setting the status to 9 (historical).

Another reason to final report is to make the calculation of WIP value correct in cases where manufacturing is made directly against customer orders. When a customer order is delivery reported, an invoice basis will be generated (that will later turn into an income). At the same time, the manufacturing order(s) that are reported as finished and are included in the customer order, must be final reported by changing the status to 6 (delivered). If you do not final report these manufacturing orders, the parts in these orders will remain as WIP value, which will provide an incorrect result, as the customer order will later generate an income. This applies when WIP value is calculated for manufacturing orders with status 4 and 5.

The status is the only thing that can be updated for manufacturing orders in this procedure. Material with traceability where there is a remaining quantity, cannot be reported.
