The parameters, which will apply in demand delivery transactions, are set in in Delivery Parameters window. Before meeting the relevant demands with a procurement operation, you set parameters such as whether inventory status will be checked or a transfer from other warehouses should be conducted.
The options shown in Delivery Parameters window are the options used in delivery operations if inventory control will be performed. The method of inventory control and the calculation of quantities are set according to your selections in the following headings.
- For Demanded Quantities
- During Stock Status Calculation
- Transfer auxiliary code information in demand and slip transaction to proposals
For Demanded Quantities
Warehouse(s) which will be taken into consideration for demanded quantities are determined according to the following options:
- Check Demand Warehouse for Stock Status
- Control Other Warehouses' Inventory Level
- Transfer auxiliary code information in demand and slip transaction to proposals
When you check Transfer auxiliary code information in demand and slip transaction to proposals option, system checks whether each material in demand line is available in the demand warehouse selected for the line and quantity information.
When you check Control Other Warehouses' Inventory Level option, the other warehouses related to the division of the relevant demand slip are checked to see if they have the relevant material in demand line in stocks and its quantity provided that the material is out of stocks in demand warehouse. If only this option is checked, material and quantity control is not performed for the warehouse in demand line, and system automatically controls the other warehouses related to the selected division. In order to do so, delivery warehouses must be defined in the system. System Settings module > Definitions > Trading System > Demand Delivery Warehouses option is used to specify the relevant warehouses from which a warehouse can receive transfers.
If none of these parameters are checked, warehouse control is not performed.
If both are checked, demand warehouse is controlled first. If the material is not available in the stocks of the demand warehouse, then the other warehouses related to the division of demand slip are checked.
During Stock Status Calculation
The quantity of the material in demand warehouse and / or other warehouses is determined according to your selections in During Stock Status Calculation heading. The options are:
- Consider Consignments (Received)
- Add Purchase Orders
- Remove Sales Orders
- Add Planned Inputs
- Remove Planned Outputs
All options are checked by default. The option, which is not to be considered in quantity calculation, is unchecked.
After checked stock status options for demand warehouse and other warehouses, click Next button. Fulfilled from Stock / Warehouse Transfer Proposals window opens.
Transferring Auxiliary Code Info To Proposals
"Transfer auxiliary code information in demand and slip transaction to proposals" option is available in Delivery Parameters stage of Demand Delivery operation. The option is checked by default and it can be unchecked if required.
Provided that you continue the operation by leaving it checked, while listing Demand Transactions To Be Met in the next step along with the proposals, slip and transaction auxiliary code information of these demand transactions are transferred to the slip and transaction auxiliary code information of delivery proposals.
Since only slip auxiliary code is used in purchase file, project and product order etc types, transaction auxiliary code information is not transferred to the lines.
