Work in Progress

This enables you to load jobs onto the dynamic capacity profile so that you can identify and resolve capacity constraints that occur within the manufacturing time fence. You can determine the seriousness of work center overloads and identify the jobs contributing to the overload. You can then maintain these jobs and alter the quantity to be made, change the start/finish dates, or move operations within the job by manipulating the queue time, move time or the operation elapsed time.

This uses the manufacturing unit of measure held against components when adding them to a bill of material. This enables you to manufacture items in the unit of measure in which you make them instead of the stocking unit of measure. Note that transactions are always calculated in the stocking unit of measure. They are then converted to the manufacturing unit of measure for display and reporting purposes, allowing you to view and report on the unit of measure you entered to manufacture the item.

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).

This requires 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.

This updates the Advanced Planning and Scheduling system whenever a sales order is added, copied, changed or canceled. This option replaces the need to configure SYSPRO triggers to generate a link between the Sales Order module and the Advanced Planning & Scheduling system.

This updates the Advanced Planning and Scheduling system whenever a job is added, changed or canceled. This option replaces the need to configure SYSPRO triggers to generate a link between the Work in Progress module and the Advanced Planning & Scheduling system.


This enables you to receive jobs into inspection for stocked parent parts that have been defined as traceable, or that require inspection. You cannot deselect this option once WIP inspection references are in progress; you must complete all outstanding WIP inspection references. If a parent item is defined as traceable (but without inspection) then the item is not taken into inspection, regardless of your selection here.

This allows the capture of serial numbers for jobs requiring inspection only once the item is received into stock after the inspection phase. Otherwise you can capture serials at the time the item is received into inspection. You cannot deselect 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.

This allows the capture of lots numbers for jobs requiring inspection only once the item is received into stock after the inspection phase. Otherwise, you can capture lots at the time the item is received into inspection. You cannot deselect 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.


This sets the Part Billings program to calculate the gross profit automatically when processing a completed job. The gross profit is the difference between the accumulated costs to date and the selling price of the job. You won't be able to part-bill the entire quantity using the Line details billing method 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.

This is 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.

This is 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.


This is used to calculate the value of allocations required. The expected value of allocations is printed on the Job Status report to indicate any variance between the expected and actual issues.

This values material allocations to a job at the Bill of Materials cost.

This values material allocations to a job at the current inventory unit cost. Regardless of your selection here, the actual value of issues to the job is not affected.

This forces 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).

This reserves stock for material allocations for confirmed jobs. Quantities are reserved at the time of confirming created jobs. The quantity reserved for allocations is taken into account in the various modules when calculating quantities available and quantities allocated.


This tracks 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).

This tracks 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).
