1. Purchase & Receiving Management
1.1. Prerequisties for Purchase & Receiving Mgmt
After activation, "Purchase Order & Dock Receiving" access for each user must be setup in the ManEx System Security module.  Users with “Supervisor Rights” will automatically have access.  
 
Dock Received Purchase Order
There must be a dock receiver for the purchase order. (If required in Purchase Setup).
Return/Shortage Reasons  Return/Shortage reasons must have been entered in System Setup - Return/Shortage Reasons Setup.
1.2. Introduction for Purchase & Receiving Mgmt

Receiving is the next step after creating and submitting a Purchase Order.  

 

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. 

 

Once the data entry is completed, the purchase receivers are forwarded to the Accounting module for PO Receipt Reconciliation.  (The attached Print Screens below <<PO_Recv_Resulting_Trans.docx>> displays the resulting transactions that affect the Un-reconciled Receipt accounts after accepting items into stock through PO Receiving). 

Within the PO Receiving module there is a "Shortage List and Issue" button.  This will allow users to issue parts from receiving directly to the Kit Shortages.   This screen will display all shortages for that part and AVL.  There is an Approved Check box for reference to the Work Order Shortage List. This will be checked if the AVL that you are receiving is an approved AVL for that shortage.  This will give the users the needed information on screen to make the decision to use or not use a non-approved AVL to fulfill a shortage.

1.4.2.1. Entering Serial Number and/or Lot Information

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 Type 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.
    3. The serial numbers will automatically update. (Serial numbers may or may not have lot codes).

       

    1.4.2.2. Issue Directly to Work Order Shortages

    Highlight the line item of interest on the PO Receiving and Inspection screen.

    Depress the Work Order Shortage List and Issue button.

    Highlight the work order shortage at top of screen. 

    Drag Available Qty located in the middle of your screen under Incoming Receipt.

    Drop it in the quantity issued at the bottom of your screen as displayed below.  System will allow users to pick to each of the individual shortages within the same Work Order and/or different Work Orders.
     

    The Approved box will be checked if the AVL that you are receiving is an approved AVL for that shortage. This will give the users the needed information on screen to make the decision to use or not use a non-approved AVL to fulfill a shortage.




    System will not allow user to issue quantities greater than the shortage quantity.  See Article #2479 for further detail.

    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.

     

    1.4.3. Rejecting Quantity in PO Receiving & Inspection
