Has it got something to do with production order 171 which was created on 2/09 but there was not sufficent raw material in stock to make the blocks?
Did the extra raw material arrive on the 3rd so that the order was finished on the 3rd and the outpurt produced?
Customers cannot see production orders. Nor can they see drill-downs on inventory item quantities. So no one will be confused except you. And the explanation is very likely as @Joe91 has surmised. To figure that out, you need to trace the quantity history of every single inventory item in the bill of materials on that production order.
Something resembling this happened…but the insufficient raw materials were recorded to have been purchased on 02/09 regardless of the production order form dated 02/09 was filled on the 03/09…hope I’m not being confusing
@Joel_Aldrine
It is necessary to enter both quantities & value on the date of receipt of raw materials. If you make only q’ty entry and miss out value or vice versa, you may see this dates problem
It also matters whether you are using goods receipts.
@Joe91 is correct. The only way for production order to produce output item on later date than the production order date is when there is insufficent quantity of input items.
See the logic behind this at Understand insufficient quantity on a production order | Manager
So from accounting point of view, the entries are correct. But from management point of view, I can see this is not how you want to view quantity ledger.
I do want to improve production orders so they can capture also management point of view. So you could say the physical production will complete on the same date or 2 weeks later or whatever. And have quantity ledger reflect that.
@lubos, my experience is that not only the insufficient quantities but also even have sufficient quantities of input items (but value is missing) if the value (purchase invoice/cash purchase) is not entered on the date of procurement of raw material also causes date problem.
