In System setup/Purchase Setup it gives the user the option to use PO Dock Receiving.  If this box is checked, the purchases are received at the dock requiring the user to complete a   PO Dock Receiving record, listing the supplier’s packing list number and the quantities per that packing list.  An inspection report is printed.  The purchases are inspected and counted.  (If this box is left unchecked the user can skip the PO Dock Receiving step and go directly to the Purchase Order Receiving & Inspection record.

The user then is required to complete a PO Receiving & Inspection record. This module has a provision for rejected purchases.

For rejected materials, ManEx provides for a PO DMR (Discrepant Materials Receipt) module. The Discrepant Material Receiver is used to receive material which  does not meet the specifications for the purchased part or purchase order.  This module allows for review by the Materials Review Board.  Then, if not acceptable, the material may be returned to the supplier.  The user may reject in the Purchase & Receiving Management module OR may return an item From Inventory.  If an item is returned From Inventory, and the PO has been reconciled, a Debit Memo forwards into Accounting along with the appropriate journal entry.

Introduction

The users can receive components that require Lot Code Only, Serial Number Only, or both Serial Number and Lot Code, following the instructions listed below.  A part that requires a Lot Coded is setup in the Inventory Part Class set-up module.  A part that requires Serial numbers is set-up in Inventory Control Module.

1. Fill in accepted item quanitity as instructed in the Add a PO Receiving Inspection Record.
2. Depress the Add button next to the Lot Code section.

3. Type in the Lot Code. The expiration date, reference date and quantity will automatically update, (if the part class/type setup is set to auto update expiration date and reference for the lot code).   In order for a Lot Code to be unique, the system looks at four fields for comparison.  They are Lot Code, Reference, and PO Number.  So while a batch may have the same Lot Code as another batch, if it arrives in a different PO, the it will be classified as a different lot.  The expiration date is optional and is not required when creating a new lot.

   

4. Serial numbers will have to be assigned only if a part has the serial number box checked in the inventory module.
   1. Select either single or range.
   2. Enter the serial number in the red box and depress enter.

The following messge will be displayed if user issues a quantity greater than the shortage quantity. 



NOTE:  If a user has the Work Order Checklist feature active and tries to use the PO Receiving shortage and issues feature within the PO Receiving, it will not recognize the shortages until the kit has been flagged as "Kit Complete".  It is designed this way because the user will not know if the parts are short until the kit is completed. 

You may have parts in the inventory and have not pulled them to the kit yet.  If you allow seeing the shortage (which may not be a shortage because parts are not pulled yet) from the PO receiving, the receiver may be trained to automatically issue to the shortages first, but it may not be a shortage because parts have not been pulled from inventory, so how would they know if it is a real shortage or just not pulled from inventory yet.

 

1. Highlight the PO item number located in the middle section of the PO Receiving and Inspection screen.
2. Type in the accepted quantity (if any).
3. Place the cursor in the next box (rej qty) and type in the rejected quantity.

Discrepant Material Return is used to return material which is different than what was ordered, received late, over shipment, damaged, etc.

There are two ways to return discrepant materials.

1.                    The discrepancy is discovered in PO Inspection/Acceptance Receiving and rejected there.

2.                    The discrepancy is discovered after the Inventory has been placed into stock.  This module allows for review by the Materials Review Board.  Then, if not acceptable, the material may be returned to the supplier.  Once the DMR (discrepant material return) is created, information regarding the return is forwarded into Accounting where a Debit Memo and the accompanying accounting journal entry is created.

Once the Discrepant Material is added, the user may print out a DMR (discrepant material return) Packing List.

In Defect Code Entry we allow users to move product into FGI, when a part is transferred to FGI, the program will compare the total cost of components with the "material cost" of the assembly, then create the configuration variance. In addition to that, the system will create additional 4 records for "Labor", "Overhead", "Other Costs" and "User Defined" costs.
