Correct or Reverse a WIP Transaction

Correct or Reverse a WIP Transaction

Overview

This guide will help you correct an wrong WIP movement while preserving physical, inventory, and accounting record history.

The error is corrected through an auditable chain; exact reversal support awaits system confirmation.

Who can do this

You need access to WorkOrderWipUpdate or approved reversal rights; delete permission alone is not business authorization.

Before you start

Identify original record, error, finalization state, later WIP/stock movements, journal, physical position, correct result, and approval.

Before saving, check that the correct company is open and that you have permission to complete this task.

Where to find it

WIP In/Out Inquiry → View Record.

Correct or Reverse a WIP Transaction

Step 1: Open the exact transaction and full downstream chain

Step 2: Update safe details only while the record remains eligible

Step 3: For finalized stock-impacting errors, use the product-approved reversal/counter-movement method

Step 4: Do not delete a record merely because the UI/source permits it

Step 5: Record reason, approval, and replacement reference

Step 6: Reconcile every affected process, stock identity, and account

Check your work

Confirm original/replacement status, WIP and production ledgers, stock balances, gate records, and journals.

Take a moment to check your work before closing the window. This small check can save time later.

If something goes wrong

  • Escalate if later stages consumed the wrong WIP.
  • Never correct only one side of a process transfer.
