Value Add Transactions

Inventory and costs associated with the fabrication process are tracked via a transaction entry screen. This screen allows you to create and maintain the Value Add orders used to manage the fabrication process. Each Value Add order can contain "sections" of information in any combination and there are six possible section types. The sections define the overall steps that will occur to fabricate the finished product.

• SP – Specification/Instructions
• IN – Inventory components (raw materials)
• EX – External processes
• T – Internal processes
• IS – Inspection
• II – Inventory in (surplus inventory)

Value Add Order Ties

When a Value Add order is used to manage the process of fabricating a finished product, it can be tied to other Infor Distribution orders. This relationship is useful if the finished product is to be immediately sold or shipped to customers or other branches. Users can tie a Value Add order to:

• Order entry line item
• Warehouse transfer line item
• Order entry build on demand kit component
• A line item on another Value Add order

Create Value Add Orders

A Value Add order can be created from three locations within Infor10 Distribution Business (SX.e).

• From Value Add transaction entry
• From order entry
• From Value Add recommended replenishment action report

 Inventory Component Line Items

Each Value Add order contains an Inventory Component section where the list of raw material is specified. The line items may contain stock, non-stock or special order products. Non-stock and special order products will be selected on the appropriate purchase order or warehouse transfer replenishment reports. Users have the ability to create purchase orders or warehouse transfers to acquire the inventory for any given line item. The value add pick ticket function prints a picking document to pull any inventory products from stock.

Work in Process General Ledger

A General Ledger account (Work In Process –WIP) is included. This asset account is used to track all of the inventory and costs associated with each Value Add order. As each section on a Value Add order is completed, the costs will be reflected in the WIP account(s). A WIP Trial Balance Report audits this new asset and provides a detailed breakdown of the Value Add orders that are in process.
