If you select this option, then negative move times are applied as defined.

If you do not select this option then:

Specify the maximum variance amount or percentage that can be posted to the work in progress variance account automatically.

A WIP variance occurs if the actual material and labor costs for a job differ from the standard cost defined against the item.

This applies to both positive and negative variance values. For example, if you set this option to Value and specify the value as 5, then any variance between -5 and +5 will be cleared.

Variances are posted if the following conditions are met:

	If you do not select the option: Apply automatic variance for all cost methods, then this option only applies to warehouses using Standard costing (Inventory Setup). This option applies only to the receipt of stocked items using the Job Receipts program (i.e. not the WIP Job Closure program).

Variances are posted to the Automatically cleared variances account (General Ledger Integration - W.I.P. Tab).

Indicate the maximum allowable percentage or value that can automatically be cleared.

This can be a maximum of 99.99 when the variance is defined as a percentage and 999999999999.99 when the variance is defined as a value.

	If you selected Actual costing > Lot traceable and/or Actual costing > Batch serial (Inventory Setup - General tab), then the option to Automatically clear WIP variances less than is only applied if you also select the option: Apply automatic variance for all cost methods.

Select this to apply the Automatically cleared variance rules irrespective of the costing method selected (Inventory Setup - General tab).

	If you selected Actual costing > Lot traceable and/or Actual costing > Batch serial (Inventory Setup - General tab), then the option to Automatically clear WIP variances less than is only applied if you also select the option: Apply automatic variance for all cost methods.

If you do not select this option, then the Automatically cleared variance rules apply only to warehouses using Standard costing.

Indicate the warehouse you want to use for floor stock items (i.e. Floorstock and bulk issue items).

Issues to jobs can cause the floor stock warehouse to go negative, regardless of the Inventory options governing negative stock. That is, irrespective of your selection at the setup option: Stock on hand allowed to go negative (Inventory Setup - General tab), items defined as Floorstock which are stocked in the floorstock warehouse (WIP Setup) will always be allowed to go negative at the time of confirming a job (Job Issues) or when Backflushing (Inventory Movements), regardless of your warehouse settings.

Floorstock items are production parts held in the factory from which production workers can draw without requisitions. It is issued automatically from stock to a job upon confirmation of the job and is included in the costing process.

Bulk issue items are issued automatically as material allocations to a job without affecting the on hand quantity of the item. The item is included as a component in the costing process.

These options only apply if the relevant components of the Advanced Scheduling and Planning module are installed as part of your license agreement (i.e. Finite Capacity Scheduling, Factory Planning, Progress Tracking and Quality Monitoring).

Select this if you require the advanced scheduling programs to be available for use within this company. The advanced scheduling programs are run from the Scheduling folder of the Factory Scheduling menu.

Select this to update the Advanced Planning and Scheduling system whenever a sales order is added, copied, changed or cancelled.

This option replaces the need to configure SYSPRO triggers to generate a link between the Sales Order module and the Advanced Planning & Scheduling system.

Select this to update the Advanced Planning and Scheduling system whenever a job is added, changed or cancelled.

Select this to be able to receive jobs into inspection. You can only receive jobs into inspection for stocked parent parts that have been defined as traceable or that require inspection (Stock Code Maintenance).

	Once WIP inspection references are in progress, you must complete all outstanding WIP inspection references before can de-select this option. If a parent item is defined as traceable, but the option: Without inspection is selected (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking), then the item is not taken into inspection, regardless of your selection here.

Select this to capture serial numbers for jobs requiring inspection only once the item is received into stock after the inspection phase.

If you do not select this option, then you can capture serials at the time the item is received into inspection.

If the item is serialized (but not traceable) and you indicated that serial numbers are recorded during order entry (Stock Code Maintenance) then serial numbers are not captured during the receipt into inspection, nor when processing inspection transactions, nor when receipting the item into stock. You cannot de-select this option once WIP inspection references for serialized items are in progress (unless they are only for items that are serialized, but not traceable, and you are recording serial numbers during order entry). You can generate a report to identify the inspection references still be completed. Alternatively, you can delete the serial numbers captured at the time the inspection references were receipted into inspection. When deleting the serial numbers, if the parent stock code is defined as a batch serialized item and the quantity accepted, scrapped and reworked against the serial number is greater than zero, then the quantity manufactured against the serial number is adjusted to the sum of these transactions. The quantity in inspection against the serial number will be adjusted to zero and the status of the serial set to Accept.

Select this to capture lots numbers for jobs requiring inspection only once the item is received into stock after the inspection phase.

If you do not select this option, then you can capture lots at the time the item is received into inspection.

	You cannot de-select this option once WIP inspection references for traceable items are in progress. You can, however, generate a report to identify the inspection references that must still be completed.

Select this if you want the Part Billings program to calculate the gross profit automatically when processing a completed job.

The gross profit is the difference in value between the accumulated costs to date and the selling price of the job. The check is performed according to your entries made at the low and high profit percentage fields, where low indicates the lowest acceptable gross profit percentage and high indicates the highest acceptable gross profit percentage.

	If you select this option, then you cannot part bill the entire quantity using the billing method Line details (Part Billings) if the job is set to complete (which is automatically done when the entire quantity is part billed). In this case, you are forced to use the Selling price billing method.

Indicate the lowest percentage of gross profit that the system will accept if you require the Part Billings program to calculate the gross profit automatically.

An entry of zero indicates that there is no low profit margin.

Indicate the highest percentage of gross profit that the system will accept if you require the Part Billings program to calculate the gross profit automatically.

An entry of zero indicates that there is no high profit margin.

Select this to print an on-line document for each kit issue processed for a job.

Select this to be able to perform kit issues, regardless of any shortages encountered.

If you do not select this option, then no kits are issued where shortages are encountered, forcing you to review material issues.

	You must select this option to be able to substitute stock items when issuing kits in the Job Issues program.

Select this to be able to substitute stock items when issuing kits in the Job Issues program.

	To use this facility, you must select the option: Allow kits with shortages to be issued.

For items where the manufacturing quantity basis is defined as pan size, this option rounds up to the pan size any materials issued as kits in the Job Issues program.

Select this to ensure that the system prompts you for an operation number when you attempt to issue materials not defined as allocations for the job.

	If no operations exist for the job, then any issue of materials is added automatically as required for operation 1 (i.e. the start date of the job).

This lets you define your bill of materials in a format relevant to the way in which you manufacture an item. Transactions are always calculated in the stocking unit of measure before being converted to the manufacturing unit of measure for display and reporting purposes.

You can configure a manufacturing unit of measure against the parent item as well as any attached components. If you enable the Use manufacturing unit of measure setup option, then components added to a bill of material default to using the manufacturing unit of measure defined against them. Each route can have a separate parent unit of measure with components related to that parent (i.e. this lets you define all the combinations you use to manufacture an item).

Once a quantity is captured in the manufacturing unit of measure, it is stored in a manufacturing unit of measure entered quantity field and converted back to the stocking unit of measure according to your inventory conversion factors (i.e. the stocking unit of measure is retained, enabling you report on either the stocking or the manufacturing unit of measure).

You can only define manufacturing units of measure if you enable the Use manufacturing unit of measure option (Work in Progress Setup). Although manufacturing unit of measure functionality is available throughout the manufacturing modules, the Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Quotations and Inventory modules are all held in the stocking unit of measure. Manufacturing unit of measure entered quantities replace existing quantities on reports when printing by manufacturing unit of measure. Manufacturing unit of measure quantity columns in list views display the manufacturing unit of measure, enabling you to view both the stocking and manufacturing unit of measure quantities where applicable. A manufacturing unit of measure cannot be defined for the following part categories: Planning bill Kit part Phantom part Notional part Bin allocations are allocated in the stocking unit of measure. Quantities for lots, bins and serials always remain in the stocking unit of measure.

Once you have selected this option, you should only deselect it with caution. Doing so will overwrite all manufacturing unit of measure data with the stocking unit of measure. This means that you will no longer be able to report on or query in the manufacturing unit of measure. Regardless of whether you define a Manufacturing unit of measure (Stock Code Maintenance), transactions are always calculated and stored in the stocking unit of measure. They are then converted to the manufacturing unit of measure for display and reporting purposes. This conversion process can cause digits to be truncated, because in Bill of Materials 6 decimals are used for calculations, but in Work in Progress only 3 decimals are used.

Enable this to be able to view the job number when maintaining a sales order linked to a job after the job is set to complete.

When this option is not enabled, the details for a receipted job set to complete are no longer displayed in the Sales Order Entry program. You then need to use the Sales Order Query program to view details of these jobs by selecting the Sales Order Query preference Show jobs that are complete or jobs linked to a completed detail line.

This applies to jobs for stocked and non-stocked items set to complete after this option is enabled.

This determines the cut-off date according to which labor posting journals are deleted when running any WIP Period End program function which includes a Purge option.

In addition, this determines the number of months for which you can reprint the WIP Labor Journal Report and WIP Labor Distribution report.

The minimum number of months you can retain information in this file is one month.

Indicate the number of months you want to retain your part billing journals.

This determines the cut-off date according to which part billing journals are deleted when running any WIP Period End program function that includes a purge option.

In addition, this determines the number of months for which you can reprint the Part Billings Journal Report and WIP Part Billings Distribution report.

The minimum number of months you can retain information in this file is one month.

These options no longer apply in SYSPRO 7.0.

In SYSPRO 6.1 the journal and distribution entries tables/files were combined and the distribution entries tables/files were removed. Therefore, the number of months you select to retain the journals also determines the number of months for which the distribution entries prior to SYSPRO 6.1 are retained.

Select this to allow the system to determine the cut-off date according to which completed jobs must be purged from the system.

This cut-off date is calculated as the system date aged by the number of days specified at the Number of days field.

If you select this option, then the operator is prevented from specifying a cut-off date in the WIP Period End program.

	In addition to the cut-off date determined by the system, completed jobs are deleted only if the value of the job is zero for the current and previous two months.

Indicate the number of days to use to calculate the cut-off date for completed jobs.

Select this to enable the facility to archive completed jobs.

The archiving process occurs during the Purge routine of the WIP Period End program. For all completed jobs that qualify for purging from the system, header details are copied to a work in progress archive file.

Archived jobs can be viewed in the WIP Query program.

If you enabled the Archive completed jobs before purging option, then you can select this option to additionally archive all the transactions that were posted against a job.

If you enabled the Archive completed jobs before purging option, then you can specify the maximum number of jobs allowed per archive file.

If this number is exceeded at the time of running the Purge function of the WIP Period End program, then more than one archive file is generated. These files are created in the designated folder for archived jobs (Archive Setup). This designated folder, together with the range of files generated, is reflected on the report produced by the WIP Period End program.

An entry of 9999 here indicates that an unlimited number of jobs can be archived into one archive file when purging jobs.

Select this to force a valid entry at the Job classification field when adding jobs.

You use this option (together with security access settings defined against your operators) to restrict the unauthorized processing of jobs and allocations (i.e. viewing, adding, changing, importing, canceling and posting).

Sub jobs generated at the time of creating the master job assume the job classification of the master. However, when attaching sub jobs to a master job using the Master Sub-jobs program, this will be permitted only for those operators who have been granted the necessary authorization. Although a job with a classification to which an operator does not have access will not be printed on reports, when you select to print sub jobs under master jobs, sub jobs are printed regardless of these restrictions. Although operators can view job notes and material/labor allocations regardless of job classification restrictions, they cannot add allocations or maintain existing allocations without the proper authorization.

Select this to enable the Include overtime % in date calculation option by default when adding or maintaining jobs with a date calculation method of Finite scheduled delivery date.

Select this to enter the job number manually when capturing jobs in the system.

	This setting is ignored by the Job Review program when you select the Create All function. Job numbers are assigned automatically as the jobs are created. The program emulates automatic numbering and uses the next job number defined in the WIP control for each job created.

Select this to number your jobs automatically according to the entry at the Next job number field.

The job Key type can be defined as Numeric or Alphanumeric (Set Key Information). When defined as Alphanumeric, the job number is created according to the Presentation length defined and not the full numeric length of 15 characters it would be when defined as Numeric.

For example:

Assume that the Job Key type is Alphanumeric, the Presentation length is 8 characters, and the Next job number to use is 1234. The next job created will be generated as '00001234' and not '000000000001234'. In addition, you will need to enter the leading zeros when entering the job number anywhere in SYSPRO.

Select this to number your jobs automatically according to the classification assigned at the time of capturing the job.

This option is typically used when you want to control job number ranges. An example would be the allocation of components to jobs according to a job number range (Bill of Materials Setup).

Job numbering by job classification is configured using the Browse on Job Classification program.

	If you select this option, then you must define a default job class against the code of the operator(s) who will use the Requirements Calculation program. These operators cannot run the Requirements Calculation program if this default job class is not defined (Operator Maintenance - Defaults tab).

Select this to track lots from the components through to the parent part.

This enables you to track which component lot numbers were used in the production of a particular parent lot (i.e. one-to-one tracking between component lots and parent item lots).

Select this to track serials from the components through to the parent part.

This enables you to track which component serial numbers were used in the production of a particular parent serial number. (i.e. one-to-one tracking between component serials and parent item serials).

This option enables you to indicate which anticipated cost to use when calculating the threshold cost for a head/section.

The posting threshold percentage and anticipated values are defined against each head/section using the Hierarchies for Job program. When adding or issuing allocations to a head/section, a warning is displayed if the threshold is exceeded.

If you do not select this option, then the hierarchy maintenance and posting programs only display a single level of the treeview at a time (i.e. each level of the treeview is only loaded when you select the plus sign in the treeview). This means that large hierarchies are displayed more quickly.

The delivery note is created for the ship quantity when you release a quantity from back order in part billings (i.e. the current ship quantity on the sales order).

This only applies to hierarchical sales orders linked to hierarchical jobs.
