Source and destination control

Dawid Kaczmarek Updated by Dawid Kaczmarek

The purpose of this feature is to be able to setup parameters for AVA ID’s, and thereby meet the customer requirements for products purchased by your company using the following parameters: The manufacturer, the country of origin, for which destination customer and to which destination country.

The setup will control the purchase process, to ensure buying and receiving the products is in accordance with our policy in terms of customer- and vendor agreements.

When Batch number is active as dimension for the purchased item, the source and destination information from the selected AVA ID will be updated to the Batch number created for the purchase order line. This information will be visible for the Batch, and for on-hand forms showing the Batch.

Setup

This feature has setup of different main elements to control the policy for a product:

Setup of AVA (Approved Vendor List), defining from which vendor we can buy the product, and requirement for specific manufacturer, manufacturing site or country of origin as well as intended for a specific customer and/or destination country.

The setup is used when handling on-hand and purchase.

Information from the chosen AVA is part of the purchase information and is printed on some of the purchase order papers and archived in the related journals.

The Batch number will hold information of the manufacturer, the country of origin, the customer and customer (destination) country – according to the AVA setup from purchase of the product.

Functionality

MRP calculation Purchase

MRP calculation will create planned purchase orders, using the primary vendor and the primary AVA ID for the vendor + time interval. NOTE: This requires that a vendor has been setup on the released product.

Firming the chosen AVA´s on the planned orders, will create purchase orders for the AVA vendors and with AVA information from the chosen AVA ID.

Whenever a Batch number is created for the purchase order line, the AVA information from the line is transferred to the Batch number.

Production/Batch order Purchase

If using line type=Vendor for BOM/Formula lines, Production/batch order and Batch orders will create purchase orders, using the vendor and the primary AVA ID for the vendor + time interval.

Whenever a Batch number is created for the purchase order line, the AVA information from the line is transferred to the Batch number.

Change of vendor batch information

AVA information stored on the Batch number, can be changed using the form [Reset vendor batch detail] found in the Batches menu. The data can be changed to any available value, no control or update is done to the original AVA information.

Source and destination data for on-hand

The registration of source and destination information are related to a specific batch of a product. Therefore, the information is relevant for the user when choosing between different Batches to fulfil sales order lines, when carrying out reservations for production/batch orders and for all other routines where the origin and destination information are part of a decision process.

To support the overview and decision between different Batches, all on-hand and reservation routines have been extended with the source and destination information. The information is available when setting up the dimension display to show the Batch dimension.
