Stock Maintenance IN0200

The Stock Maintenance is used to add, change or delete stock records.

A stock record must be created for the system to operate successfully ( example; before an order in order entry or a purchase order for inventory can be entered ).

Stock records allow for the products (defined on a whole to your company in the Product File Maintenance – IN0100) to be assigned to different warehouses and as a result carry certain attributes based upon this.   Some examples of these may be the product supplier (vendor) or disposition of the item ie. It is a ‘Drop Shipped’ item in this warehouse location.  For this warehouse location the item may be a lot controlled item or a purchased item supplied from the manufacturing warehouse where it is defined as a “Finished Good” and holds a “Bill of Material”.  In the case of distribution, the cost of the item in this location may be higher than in another location eg. East Cost as opposed to West cost with possibly different suppliers. 

Note :  Up to ten user defined custom fields (flex fields) are available to be set up on this screen. Flex fields are alphanumeric fields allowing up to 2000 characters per field. These flex fields will display in a separate user named button once they have been defined in Flex Field Maintenance (gb1200).

Note (If program is called from Product Maintenance IN0100): If a stock record, regardless of the warehouse, already exists the Stock Master File Maintenance (IN0200) will display a stock record for a warehouse that the user has access to and at this time the Stock Master Maintenance is in inquiry mode.  If user does not have access to the warehouse where a stock record already exist, then the program will be in entry mode thereby allowing user to enter new stock record.   To enter a stock record for a new warehouse the Stock Master File Maintenance (IN0200) must be put to entry mode first by pressing/clicking the insert toolbar or the arrow key.  Stock record for other warehouse, other than the one display by the system right after the button is press can also be queried by doing the standard query operations.

Stock Master Re-order Parameters Explained

The reorder parameters button displays the reorder flags used for automatic purchasing, distribution requirements planning and manufacturing requirements planning.  They define and tune the system as to how these items are ordered into inventory. 

 

The Reorder Qty is for product types 3,4 & 6 only.  It is used strictly for Automatic Purchasing (Purchase Order Extract – PO1000), in the purchase order module.  The extract does not use the reorder parameter or re-order flag.

 

Their settings are discussed with examples below:

 

The reorder flag and reorder parameter work together.  The reorder parameter is only used for the following re-order flag values:

                 

1) Fixed Lot Quantity

2) Maximum Order Quantity

3) Maximum Order Value

4) Maximum # of days

 

      The minimum and multiple values are used for 2, 3, and 4 above

Reorder Quantity

Used strictly for Automatic Purchasing in the Purchase Order module.  Enter the quantity of the reorder point for the product.  This is the typical level of stock that is to be maintained (Safety Level).  When the Reorder Extract – PO1000 is run, an extract record will be produced if the available quantity of the item is less than or equal to this reorder quantity.

Economic Quantity

Enter the economic quantity. This is the most economical quantity at which the product can be purchased or manufactured. The extract from inventory in automatic purchasing calculates the quantity to order based on economic order quantity and re-order point. Since economic ordering quantity is used to calculate order quantity that is later converted into purchase order quantity, in order to get an integer value in purchase order quantity buy-sell economic order quantity should be evenly divisible by buy-sell factor. If the 'Order In Economic Multiples' flag is set in System Flags Maintenance – GB2800, then an entry made here, will also automatically appear in the 'Multiple' field below.

Minimum Quantity

Enter the minimum quantity that is to be purchased or manufactured for the product.

Maximum Quantity

Enter the maximum quantity that is to be purchased or manufactured for the product.

Multiple

Enter the multiple of how the product will be purchased or manufactured.

Safety

Enter the safety quantity of the product. The safety quantity represents the point at which the stock level should be maintained without jeopardizing production or sales.

Months Usage

Enter the number of months usage the Gordon Graham replenishment method should look at when analyzing usage.

Days Information

Lead Days

Enter the total number of lead days to purchase this item. This is the total number of days required to ship the item from the primary vendor to your site.  The ship days (below) is included in these lead days.  It should also be noted that the lead days are the only days used by the Automatic Purchasing (PO1000) for product types 3 - raw material and 4 - purchased items.

Ship Days

Means nothing in the grand scheme of calculating days requirements.  It is for information purposes only and shows the amount of ship days that are included in the lead days above.

Manufacturing Lead Days

Enter the number of lead days required for manufacturing.  The manufacturing lead days is only used for manufactured items if no routing exists for that item.

Rescheduling Days

Enter the number of days required for rescheduling.  The reschedule days is only used by the MRP Requirements planning explosion to display alert messages based upon the targeted start date less these number of days.

Quality Control Days

Enter the number of days required for quality control.  The QC (Quality Control) Days and the Safety Days are used as a buffer to get item into stock before it’s actually due. User can put numbers in either Quality Control or Safety Days but calculations will always add the two together to come up with a date. Therefore entering 6 quality control days and 0 safety days or 4 quality control days and 2 safety days makes no difference as far as software is concerned. It’s only information for the user if they want to put a value into both fields.

 

Example: A sales order is placed (or a work order requires a product) on a Friday. Product has a safety of 3 days. Therefore a suggested purchase order (or work order if it’s a manufactured item) will be created so that item will be received into warehouse on a Tuesday, 3 days before it is due on Friday.

Safety Days

Enter the number of days required for safety before making another purchase order. 

 

See Quality Control Days for how this field impacts date calculations.

Product Flags

Physical Flag

Set the flag by clicking the mouse in the field if the product is to include in a physical inventory. The flag is set by default.  The SDC software does not allow inbound/outbound serial controlled products to be processed through the normal/standard physical inventory process as it not the most efficient way of doing physical inventory for serial controlled products.  As adjustments to a physical count are not entered into the system until discrepancies are reconciled and items costs determined, the adjustment to physical count should be entered through inventory adjustment.   Example:  If your have a product showing inventory of 100 but the count only shows 99, then you really need to make one adjustment entry for the missing 1.  There is no need to re-enter the information that is already correct  (the 99 units on inventory which already have the correct serial numbers).

 

Physical Inventory steps for serial controlled products:

Use the Physical Inventory Check List (IN4100) for serial controlled products, which will list only serial controlled products and their serial numbers.  Matched these serial numbers with what the warehouse really have physically.  Through this process missing serial numbers can be easily identified.  Enter an inventory adjustment for the missing serial numbers.

 

Disposition Flag

Select the value of the disposition flag. This flag is used in the Order Entry process to determine the method of purchasing the stock for this purchased item.

Acceptable entries are:

“Blank” - Normal Product

“Automatic Purchase Order”- A purchase order will automatically be generated when a sales order is entered  (for delivery to warehouses locations).

"Drop Ship" -  (Automatic Purchase Order) - Handled the same as the automatic purchase except the delivery will be made from supplier to customer.

Process:
1. order entry of stock item - a Purchase Order is generated by the system.
2. print the Purchase Order.
3. receive the Purchase.Order when ship-to-customers receives the stock - an invoice is generated by the system.
4. print the invoice in Order Entry

"Hold" - Puts product on hold.  This product cannot be purchased or sold.

"Non-Stock" - An item that will create a purchase requisition, which must go through the requisition approval stage, before a drop-ship purchase order can be generated.

"Cannot Purchase or Make" - This product can be sold but cannot be purchased (or allowed to be made or manufactured).

Note.  This flag is not used in the MRP or PO extract.  If an item were to be set to say ‘Cannot Purchase or make’ these applications would still see them as valid items and process them.

 

Serial Flag

Click on this field if the product is serial controlled. This field can only be updated if the quantity on hand in the Current Activity pop up window is 0 or null.  A lot controlled item or a lot and bin controlled item cannot be set up as a serial controlled product.

Lot Flag

Select "Lotted Item" for lot controlled, "Binned Item" for bin controlled, "Binned and Lotted Item", or leave blank.  A lot controlled item or a lot and bin controlled item cannot be set up as a serial controlled product.

Demand Flow

This flag relates to the processing of orders within the manufacturing system and this flag should be left blank if manufacturing modules are not activated. Demand Flow Materials Requirement Planning bypasses the traditional Materials Requirement Planning routines and creates jobs directly in the Production Control Module upon creation of a firm order (stock demand).  A job will be created for each demand. The system will create the job utilizing the expected delivery date as the 'stop date' or expected completion date of the job. The quantity to manufacture will be set to the quantity that is being ordered. Once the job is completed the stock is made available and can then be released to the order. If the 'Demand Flow' flag is set then the system will skip Production Planning, Requirements Planning and Capacity Planning and proceed directly to Production Control. If the flag is not set, the Materials Requirement Planning system will follow the traditional flow by means of the Master Production Schedule, Capacity and Requirements Planning. The planning steps can still be superseded for 'rush' type production orders by creating a job directly in the Job Entry program (PC0100) in the Production Control Module.

Quality Control Required

Check this box if you want this product receipt type to default to quality control when it is received from the purchase order module via the Stock Receipt By Purchase Order (PO5100) or if it is a manufactured item to be automatically received into Quality Control Quantity from the Automatic Job Confirmation – PC5200.
