Thanks for the reply David.
I was already pondering IA to fix inventory (FIFO), with GLJE to move $ from the adjustment account to where it should be... but I don't think the customer has thought that far ahead yet.
Disassembly is a good thought, but I don't think we get to choose the cost tier for that kind of transaction, and this inventory is FIFO.
Redoing the WT without negative transactions in WT transaction history would mess up other custom reports they have. Fun!
Perhaps the Mod Squad could add WT disassembly (reversing completion) to the list of potential suggestions for Sage.

Subject: PM... disassembly possible?
Kevin,
There is not a way to do a negative completion or "undo" a Completion Transaction through production management (I wish there was).
I offer clients the following options
1. Inventory adjustments
a. Negative adjustment to take the item out of stock at the incorrect cost
b. Positive Adjustment to put the FG item back into Stock
c. Note: the variance here ends up in Inventory adjustment account defined in product line Maintenance.
2. Disassemble and rebuild
a. Use Bill of Materials Disassembly entry to remove the Finished good and put the components back into stock
i. but labor is not calculated in (that is actually a plus since your client forgot the labor in the first place)
ii. Variance between the cost of the FG and the cost of he components ends up in Manufacturing Variance account defined in product line maintenance.
b. Create a new work ticket, or increase the planned Qty on the existing work ticket and re-issue parts and labor etc. before completing
3. Use the existing work ticket if it is not closed yet
a. Apply the missing parts/labor to the work ticket
b. When you close that work ticket, the un-applied labor will end up in the "scrap" account defined in production management work Ticket Class Maintenance.
