Follow the process from start to finish. Select a step to see who acts and what changes.
Warehouse Manager prepares the output quantity and feasible work window using compatible approved BOM and production-routing versions. Resolve the output basis, component units, lot restrictions, required material and known standard and absorption rates. A job linked to a dealer order serves that demand without creating another sales requirement.
Prepare the compatible output and input basisAn independent Warehouse Manager approves the exact work-order revision, excluding its preparer and material editors. Freeze recipe, instructions, output standard and labour/overhead bases. Material availability and cost inputs must be valid. Changing an active master later cannot rewrite this released job or authorize an unreviewed substitution.
Independently authorize the frozen execution scopeWarehouse Operator issues actual traced inputs and records assigned operations, time and scrap. Material moves into WIP once; output does not backflush the same issue again. Unused material returns only from remaining physical production stock. Time cannot overlap or be charged twice, and intermediate throughput is not finished output.
Record actual input, operation and cost evidenceAn independent Warehouse Manager confirms actual production entries and the unused accepted terminal quantity, excluding the producing or recording operator. Verify the output lot, receiving location and attributable material, labour and overhead cost. Unknown or already consumed cost cannot support the proposed completion, even when its physical quantity is correct.
Independently accept unused terminal output and its basisIndependent Finance Manager reviews allocated actual WIP against the frozen standard value and approves the exact signed variance or cost exception before posting. A zero-difference completion still requires valid known costs and technical acceptance; quantity approval cannot authorize an unexplained financial difference.
Decide the nonzero actual-versus-standard differenceWarehouse Manager oversees the guarded accepted completion. The action adds finished stock at standard, relieves only its allocated actual WIP and records the approved difference once. Partial output consumes only its accepted terminal units and cost allocations. The remaining job retains its own material, labour, overhead and output obligations.
Post accepted output, WIP relief and approved variance onceWarehouse Manager reconciles remaining inputs, output and actual scrap, with independent Finance Manager review of any residual cost or variance. Release unused claims only after their physical and cost consequences are resolved. The job cannot close by discarding WIP, deferred cost or an unresolved material return.

Work-order approved material/labour/overhead charges, actual WIP allocations, standard finished output, separately recognized completion/scrap/close variances and residual WIP; intermediate operation counts never inflate finished units.
Actual accepted GoodsReceiptLines against original PurchaseOrderLines promise and approved quantity; distinguish arrival timeliness, rejected/pending quality quantities, supplier return and incomplete supply rather than treating all arrivals as usable.
The assistant cannot supply a required independent human approval or replace actual receiving, dispatch, delivery, production acceptance or bank evidence. It cannot turn an acknowledgment into settlement, a credit into warehouse stock, or a planned route into a completed delivery. Materially changed content must follow the appropriate renewed review.
Carry the dealer's accepted terms through fulfilment, reviewed invoicing and cash application.
