Creating JIT Transactions

"Just-In-Time" (JIT) production is typically used for the production of items that have a standard cost and that you want to be able to produce on demand. It is based on the idea of producing items that are not tied to specific job orders or production schedules, and transactions are only recorded when the item is actually finished. Use the Just-In-Time Production Transactions form to enter such items into inventory.

To enter JIT production items into inventory:

Open the Just-In-Time Production Transactions form.
Fill in the appropriate fields:
- In the Completed field, type the total number of items completed, excluding scrap.
  This value cannot be zero. To enter items into inventory, use positive values. To remove items from inventory, use negative values.
- From the Warehouse drop-down list, select the warehouse where the finished goods are to be stored.
  If you try to select a warehouse with which the item does not already have an association, the system prompts you to create the association before you can select the warehouse. To create an item/warehouse association, use the Item/Warehouse form.
- In the Location field, enter the location where you want the items stored.
  If you try to enter a location for which the warehouse does not have an association with the item, the system prompts you to let you know that it will automatically create the association. Click OK.
- If the item is a lot-tracked item, in the Lot field, enter the lot identifier to be associated with this production transaction.
  If you try to enter a lot identifier that does not currently exist, the system prompts you, to let you know that it will automatically create the lot. Click OK.
- (Optional) Use the Shift and Employee fields to enter the shift in which the transaction is being performed and the employee performing it.
- If the item is a serial-tracked item, use the Serial Numbers tab fields to generate the serial numbers.
When finished, click Process.
