BUTTONS AND FIELDS
Purchase Order Variances – Quantity and Value
During the goods receiving process, you may wish to have the option of completing a PO line item with a delivered quantity that is not exactly the ordered quantity. This can be useful to avoid leaving trivial quantities on back-order or, if the received quantity is more than that ordered, having to adjust the order prior to receiving it. To provide this feature, you can enter a variance limit in both quantity percent and value terms. For each PO line item, the system will apply the lower of the two values and permit, after a warning, line item completion with that transaction. Purchase history and Inventory will reflect the actual receipt quantity.
Work Order Variances – Kitting Quantity
During the Work Order kitting process, you may wish to have the option of issuing a quantity that is greater or less than the BoM quantity. This can be useful where BoMs reflect average use of raw material. Works history and Inventory will reflect the actual kit quantity.
WARNING: If a kitting variance is permitted, care should be taken when returning a kit, as the system presumes the BoM kit quantity has been kitted.
Work Order Variances – Completion + Quantity
During the WO assembly receiving process, you may wish to have the option of receiving a quantity that is greater than the ordered and kitted quantity. This can be useful where BoMs reflect average wastage of raw material. Works history and Inventory will reflect the actual receipt quantity.
Sales Order Variances -Quantity and Value
During the dispatch process, you may wish to have the option of completing a SO line item with a dispatched quantity that is not exactly the ordered quantity. This can be useful to avoid leaving trivial quantities on back-order or, if the dispatched quantity is more than that ordered, having to adjust the order prior to receiving it. To provide this feature, you can enter a variance limit in both quantity percent and value terms. For each SO line item, the system will apply the lower of the two values and permit, after a warning, line item completion with that transaction. Sales history and Inventory will reflect the actual dispatch quantity.
TIP: This feature is usually only useful where you are selling by length and billing by weight, for example. In other words, is valid when the Sales Order quantity is only an estimate of the dispatch quantity.
Batch on Dispatch – Quantity
During the dispatch process, you may wish to have the option of completing a SO line item with a dispatched quantity that is not exactly the quantity available from a whole batch. This can be useful to avoid having to split batches on dispatch where trivial inaccuracies in quantity of a batch is the case.
TIP: This feature is usually only useful where you have complex sales UoM multipliers and where measuring accuracy of batch quantities is not as great as the resolutions of quantities in the system. For example, where you are mixing chemicals by weight, but you are selling in quantities of volume.
