To split costs first set work orders in WO Criteria and Product Criteria boxes. Then select Split Materials mode and enter date which is usually represented by the last date of period. Then enter cost ID used in work orders. Plus enter total amount of costs. You can obtain total amount of materials manually or by user-defined procedures. Having entered all data on split costs and a log is displayed if successful. Otherwise a list of IRIS error messages appears on how to remove errors. For detailed treatment see Collective Materials in Split WO.
The window consists of:
1. A taskbar with the following buttons
- Refresh: Having entered criteria refresh the bottom list of WOs. If you entered total materials they are split across individual work orders.
- Recalculate: Click it to split materials once again.
- Run: Click it in order to record data in work order, create issue slips and recalculated price of own product plus allowing you to display the log.

Table of Materials in Split WO |
Here you can enter ID and name of material and its quantity to be split, plus a warehouse used in material issuance. When entering IDs to a list you can selected among those which belong to materials, or more precisely, semi-finished products and do not have serial number tracking checked. Should you leave the warehouse field empty, then the issuing warehouse is set according to the set type of material and manufacturing document type. Click Recalculate in order to refresh data after having made any changes in the table. |
To enter data to the table you can use user-defined procedures using SQL InterActive. For detailed treatment see examples of use in Collecting Materials in Split WO.
Here are displayed lines of work order. Having checked Create Work Preparation displays a line or lines for adding to work order. On the other hand, when trying to split materials without previously checking Create Work Preparation those lines are added that matching the criteria and IDs of materials in the table. When trying to split materials negative or positive values can be used with the entered amount. Amounts are split only in those lines where divisor value matches the value of entered amount.

Take care when splitting materials to WOs so as to keep in consideration different types or modes of manufacturing as well as ways of splitting materials.
You should be careful in manufacturing using multi-level work orders. This means having one type of work orders with which you make semi-finished products and another type where the former are integrated. If so, you have to split materials for work orders with semi-finished products and then do it separately for those including products. Because should you try to perform this simultaneously, the own price of products would probably be calculated incorrectly. Perhaps such price would not include total split materials.
It gets even more complicated should you set Value of Materials Used since in this case you could get incorrect split materials based on the value of integrated semi-products. This can change with further splitting of materials.
It is wise you split materials at the lowest level. Then recalculate having checked Recalculate Valuation Prices and repeat the procedure at higher levels.
Regardless whether you are using single-level or multi-level production you should recalculate transactions for products which are used in other business events prior to the end of accounting period. Such as for example when issuing from warehouse because of insufficient amount on other work orders; or in end-customer sales, etc since the current computer systems performance does not allow for all calculations to be performed parallel to splitting materials.
