| # WIP transfer WIP transfers between lines are supported and the following steps are distinguished: Generation of a WIP transfer warehouse order line. Issuing of the WIP from the last line station of the line. Receipt of WIP on the first line station of the next line. Purpose of WIP transfers By performing WIP transfers the work in process of a production order is always recorded in the work center that is actually working on the order. This is especially useful in production situations where the WIP represents a high value or when the production lead time is long, for example the production of capital goods, trains, machines. If work centers belong to different enterprise units and have different reporting currencies, the value of WIP is also an important factor in tax reporting. You can also define invoicing relationships between enterprise units. Financial transactions The cost component of the financial transactions is specified in the WIP Transfer Cost Comp. field in the Production Orders (tisfc0501m000) details session. WIP transfers are based on detailed cost components of the components. WIP transfer method WIP transfers are carried out when a subassembly is moved to another work center, either: Always when a quantity is reported completed. Only when a the whole operation is reported completed. This depends on the Transfer WIP method field in the Shop Floor Control Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session.
