Description

In these modules, the logistics data of the part masters are maintained or displayed, i.e. logistics part data (e.g. staging type, logistics indicator), warehouse account data (e.g. stock, storage unit) and disposition account data (e.g. sales order quantity, disposition unit).
(see also Kanban)

Minimum, maximum and reorder points can be maintained here. This module also enables the exchange and definition of the units with which the warehouse and the dispo account is to be managed as standard.

The main storage bin entered here will be selected as the default withdrawal storage bin in goods withdrawal documents created in the future. For more information, see here.

Input window

This window is for maintaining logistic control settings.

: Dispo movements	Listing of the MRP account of the part (material requirements forecast).
Part	Open the input window of the part master.

: Edit table of units	The unit table of the part is displayed for editing.

Field	Description
Logistics Control	-
: Logistics-KZ	Indication whether the part is a - purchased part - Production part or a - purchased part with own provision is involved. Among other things, this specification has an effect on the business processes: e.g. the lot size in the stock/requirements list is determined for purchased parts from order item data ("Order quantity" field) and for production parts from production part data ("Lot size" field).
: provision -->	Has an effect on business processes (both dynamic - business process and transaction descriptions - and firmly realised in programme modules) and parts disposition; in the case of a parts request, the disposition type is thereby suggested. The staging type can only be changed under certain conditions: If the staging type is currently set to "Disposition", it can be changed at any time If the staging type is any kind of warehouse management, it can only be changed if no requirement document is registered in the MRP account (order, advance requirement, parts request). If orders or other documents covering requirements are registered, it can be changed. The field "Type of provision" is always blocked when entering the module if documents are booked in the dispo account. In order to be able to change them, the processing must be started via the button can be activated in the toolbar "Edit logistics account data". This then checks according to the above rule whether the staging type may be changed With the macro "SetDispoAccountToDisposition" in the parts list, the marked parts in the list are set to the staging type "Disposition". For orders and part requests in the MRP account of parts with the staging type "stock control", stock reserve documents are automatically created!
: Unit of measure	Main unit of measure of the part (e.g. as a default on the parts list). In the case of batch-managed parts, this setting can only be made for the variant part.
Provider	(only for services)
: Service provider	The service provider who performs this service as standard. This is automatically transferred to the order item. A service provider can be an employee or a group of employees. If the working time requirement for an employee is to be firmly scheduled in capacity planning, the requirement must be reserved via a service provider group.
Stock account	(only for parts) (greenfields are examples, as defined by transaction descriptions)
: ABC identifier
: Storage unit	The unit of measure in which storage quantities (e.g. stock) are managed. In the case of batch-managed parts, this setting can only be made for the variant part.
: Main storage place / Fixed storage place	Main storage location: For parts suitable for multiple storage, the storage location is the default value at goods receipt Fixed storage bin: Goods receipts of this part can only be posted to this storage bin. It is also possible to organise the storage locations in a conditional table for the part. In this way, different storage locations can be drawn depending on the booking process.
Min.stock	Minimum stock of the part
: Reorder level	Reorder level of the part
Max.stock	Maximum stock of the part
: Serial numbers	Indication whether the part is generally not serial number-managed, whether the serial numbers are only recorded during order-related withdrawal, or whether the serial numbers must also already be recorded during goods receipt (option Yes). In the case of batch-managed parts, this setting can only be made for the variant part.
: Batch numbers	Specify whether the part is generally not batch number-managed. The creation of batch number-managed parts takes place via the characteristics bar. In the case of batch-managed parts, this setting can only be made for the variant part.
Outsourcing option	This option defines the criteria according to which the stock removal of batch parts is to be carried out during automatic creation (creation of a stock removal from the staging list warehouse). The option Fifo (first in first out) is preset so that the batches that were put away first are also the ones that are taken out of storage first. The date on which the batches were created is taken into account. Alternatively, for batch-managed parts that have the attribute for the expiry date, an option can be set according to which the batches that expire first are also removed first. In the case of batch-managed parts, this setting can only be made for the variant part.
: Cycle-Counting KZ	Marking of a part for the cycle-counting inventory procedure
: Stock	Current stock without stock in goods receipt
Reserved
Ø Price from	Average price of the part (see average price calculation)
Dispatch account	(greenfields are examples, as defined by transaction descriptions)
: Dispo unit	The unit of measure in which planning quantities (e.g. in order) are managed
: Goods receipt	Quantity in goods receipt (not yet included in stock)
In order	Quantity covered by contracts but not delivered
: Ordered	Quantity ordered but not yet delivered
: In production	Quantity produced by our own company
Suppliers	Suppliers who require some parts specified in the supplier agreement of the ordering part to be provided when ordering the part. This indicates which supplier is used in the disposition of this part, or which parts list is resolved on the supplier agreement. Multiple suppliers can be specified and conditioned.
: Add fixed suppliers	The supplier agreement bill of material specified here is always used for the bill of material explosion of this part.
Add conditional table	A conditional table is created in which several possible suppliers can be specified. These can be provided with a condition. If several conditions from different suppliers apply to the BOM explosion, the BOM explosion for this part is interrupted and a message is displayed before the parts request is created that the supplier must be selected from the exploded BOM.
: Delete entry	Deletes the fixed supplier, or the conditional table if it no longer contains any entries.
Company codes	Assignment of the part to company codes Using the main or context menu, company codes can be inserted, removed or invalidated for the part. For each assignment of the part to a company code, minimum, maximum and reorder points can be defined by double-clicking on the entry in the list. (Example: By assigning a warehouse to the company code, separate minimum, maximum and reorder levels can be specified for this warehouse). The company codes assigned here are taken into account when processing the requirements and stock list and the material requirements forecast (MRP account).

Control min/max stocks

On the one hand, it is possible to see when the minimum stock level was last automatically recalculated on the basis of a requirements analysis and set on the part (field "Last auto.determination on"). On the other hand - interesting for parts newly entered in the system for which no saved consumption figures are available in the system - a manual time limit can be set up until which the automatic determination of minimum stock levels for the called up part should be prevented: Until then the minimum stock level is maintained manually.

Fields
Field	Description
Minimum stock	-
: Manual lock until	Set a manual time limit to prevent the automatic determination of minimum stock levels for the called part.
last auto.determination on	Display of the last time the minimum stock level was automatically recalculated and set on the part based on a requirements analysis.

Fields
Field	Description
New storage unit	Indication of the new unit of the bearing guide
New disposition unit	Indication of the new unit of disposition

Create Testing Gozinto reports these errors. Right-clicking on an entry in the list opens the supplier agreement. The parts to be provided can then be entered directly here.
