We have a scenario at a customer who wants to record WIP for work task transactions.  Everything works as expected using cost code rules.  The only issue that we are facing is that the maintenance purchase requisition which invokes M91, M92 and M93.  We understand that when the invoice is matched TP3 overtakes M93, but the issue is if all other transactions are going to WIP when transacted but the MPR costs are not going to WIP for M91 since the control type is not available on M91.  This issue is related to work orders not connected to projects, since projects has the GP3 functionality but the work task does not have another posting control that we can find.  Has anyone faced this issue and if so how did you resolve it?

See below example.

 

Issue- Work task cost code rule is not applied for external purchases in work order (maintenance purchase requisitions). 

Test steps- 

  1. Define below work task cost code. WIP code and a cost code. 

 

  1. Define below work task code Rules 

 

 

 

  1. Define posting controls as below for T1. 

 

 

 

  1. Now create work task and report time against the work order. You will notice that time reported will be drive to WIP using the WIP cost code. 

 

 

 

 

 

However, for M91 and M92 postings C106 control type- Work Task Cost Codes is not there. Therefore below transaction won’t go to the WIP Account. 

 

Sharing with @ereslk  @Thommy  @chanlk Is this something missed out? or do we have a background?

This might be a CU/FERC development requirement, since it is designed to rely on WT Cost Codes/Rules. 

Hi all,

Control Type Cost Codes is enabled for Posting Type TP3 which overtakes the Non-Inventory Purchase Transactions.

M93 would be the final posting created when matching the supplier invoice for a Material Purchase and which will create a Work Task Transaction.

These M93 posting will be overtaken by TP3 posting and the WIP accounts will be updated on that.

M91 and M92 are the Non-inventory receipt and arrival transactions which will not be overtaken by Work task Transactions, but a cost line will only be created at arrival for invoicing purposes for customers if needed.

Hope this clarifies your question.

Thanks & best Regards

But if you want the costs to go to WIP before the invoice is received (which could be 30 - 60 days) how do you put the costs to WIP before the invoice is received?  From an accounting perspective shouldn’t the costs go to WIP when the costs are incurred not when matched?

The way we got around this issue was to direct M92 to WIP, then create a GL auto rule, on transaction code M92, to move WIP to cost.
