AVL Information
This section will define all the AVL, and Safety Stock information assigned to the inventory part. The user may Add, Delete, or Edit the AVL information here.
When adding new MPN's to the item master, if you do not want the BOM's automatically updated be sure that the "Disable Automatic BOM AVL update" is Enabled. See article #1477 for more information.
Note: When deleting an MPN - keep in mind that the MPN will be deleted from the screen but NOT from the tables. The MPN's that have been deleted are retained in the tables for history tracking purposes.
|
 |
AVL Field Definitions
| Manufacturers Part Number |
Displays the Mfg. Part Number for an existing highlighted Mfg. Also, Used to enter Mfg. Part Number during data entry. If no manufacturers Part Number is entered into the Inventory Master during data entry, GENR (Generic) will be automatically entered by the system as the Manufacturer and the Manufacturers Part Number will be left blank. If a Buy item is fabricated by a customer, then the Customers name must be added to the list of Manufacturers and the Customers Part Number entered in the Manufacturers Part Number field.
|
| Manufacturer |
Any Manufacturer entered in Part Manufacturer Setup can be selected in this field. If no specific Manufacturer is required, GENR. (Generic) may be used to show that any Manufacturer is usable. Also displays Manufacturer for an existing inventory record choosen.
|
| Pref |
This is a number indicating the preference for use in Work Order Kitting for each Manufacturer shown. The number 1 indicates 1st ranking, 2 is 2nd ranking, etc. User will only be allowed to enter postive numbers (1 through 99). If no preference code is entered the preference automatically is assigned 99. All items will be at the bottom of the preference list unless the user assigns another number to it. For further detail on how the preference code is used in MRP see Article #3032 . |
| Safety Stock |
Enter in a qty that you want kept on hand for this specific AVL. User may have safety stock for more than one AVL for a given part number. (Safety stock is calculated in MRP at the AVL level NOT the part number level). This qty is in addition to the MRP demands. ManEx will ensure that there is always the safety stock qty on hand regardless of the MRP demands. Please see Article #2331 for more detail. (This field is calculated off of the Stock UOM).
|
| AVL Material Type |
Select from the pull down, Unk, LF-P/N, LF-Date, LF-Mark, RoHS-P/N, RoHS-Date, RoHS-Mark. See Article 2267 for definitions. These choices have been defaulted in. Customers may establish the logic by which the material type for the parts are established by the material types at the AVL level in Material Type Setup.
The AVL Material Type is carried forward for the consign part when the consign part is first added to the system or when new AVL was added to the internal part and the user elects to add this AVL to the existing consign parts. If the user later changes the Material Type on the internal part, the change is NOT carried over to the consigned part.
If the Inventory Material Type is set to "Auto" (within the Material Type Setup), everytime the user modifies the AVL material type, the program will update the Inventory Material Type automatically, if the control is set to "Manual", then the user will be able to modify the Inventory Material Type from the Material Type pulldown. Keep in mind that the program will NOT validate if the material type in Inventory and AVL levels are in sync.
|
| AVL Material Value |
This field is a text modifier for a given material type. For example, if the material type was "LF-Date", the text in the field could be a date code. This value could be different for various AVL with the same Material Code. This field is optional and does not have to be populated. |
 |
This field is to add the AVL(s) to a consigned part.
|
| Allow Auto Creating Location at Receiving (Selected AVL) |
Note: Users have to have special access in order to modify this checkbox, this access is assigned through Security/User Rights.
If the box is checked (for the highlighted AVL) it will allow the user to create a location when entering the Purchase Order or at PO Receiving. Note: The "Allow Auto Creating Location at Receiving" box must be checked also in Warehouse Setup.
If the user has the " Remove location with this warehouse from the Inventory when qty on hand gets to zero Box" box checked within the Warehouse Setup Setup module this box MUST be checked also. |
 |
There are situations where the Users customers will allow them to use up non-conforming inventory, but cannot replace the same AVLs. So, at the AVL level, we added two logic fields that would signify that the AVL is NOT to be purchased and/or kitted. In such a circumstance, it is NOT appropriate to delete the parts, but neither can they be purchased for future requirements. Likewise, they may want to avoid kitting so you would check these boxes to "Disallow this part from Purchase and/or Kitting". For special circumstances, the user can override the block from kitting if their customer permits it. For further information on how to use these fields effectively refer to Article #2329. For information on how these fields affect MRP refer to Article #3211 . (See the non-nettable function for the warehouse level described below). |
| AVL Qty on Hand |
Total qty on hand for each individual mfg. |
| Total Qty on Hand |
Total qty on hand for all mfg.'s combined

Warehouse Information
This section will define all the Warehouse information assigned to the inventory part. The user may add or edit the Warehouse information here also.
|
 |
Warehouse Field Definitions
 |
One of these radials must be checked. Internal (User owned) or In-Store (supplier owned). This selection is available only for "BUY" parts. This selection will not be displayed for "MAKE" or "PHANTOM" parts.
|
| Last Count |
Displays the date of the last physical Inventory or Cycle Count for the highlighted item in the Warehouse/Location/Manufacturer display window.
|
| Warehouse |
Used to display the stocking Warehouse for an existing item or to select a Warehouse during entry of a new Location or Manufacturers Part Number. Only Warehouses entered in Warehouse Setup may be selected in this field.
|
| Location |
Allows entry of any Location code desired. It could be an area assigned for Finished Goods, High Value items, Programmed parts or a Row, Aisle and Shelf Code. Also displays Location for an existing highlighted Warehouse record. This field is flagged "Read Only" for MRB whse (meaning you can not create a location for an MRB whse).
|
| Netable (box) |
If this is checked, any On Hand inventory of the item in the Warehouse location being added or highlighted (if already added) will be used to fill Material Requirements Planning stipulations when processing the MRP. If you want to exclude this part from MRP and Kitting Issue screens, uncheck this box. You Cannot have a netable part that is excluded by MRP. The only warehouse that is non-netable is the MRB warehouse. Any parts in that warehouse are deemed questionable until the parts are validated and returned to a normal warehouse. So they will not be considered by MRP.
|
| Validated (box) |
This is for reference only and does not affect any other modules in Manex. This is simply to help users keep track of changes and for the users to check that the part being added has been verified as appropriate.
|
 or  |
If Enabled ManEx will add the new AVL to all existing BOMs and check them as approved. If Disabled ManEx will add the new AVL to all existing BOMs but will NOT mark them as approved. Then they will not drive any demands or be available for pulling to that kit. Then you will have to manually go into each individual BOM and Check mark the ones that you do intend to use that new AVL on. See article #1477 for more information.
