BPCS/LX Tip of the Day: LX Inventory Pallet Status Flow

Four fields in the Item/Warehouse record (IIW file) affect the disposition of the

pallet status.

 

1.  Goods Receiving Code: You define these codes in Goods Receiving Maintenance (WHM130). The codes control whether or not the stock passes through inspection, what percentage, or quantity of a delivery to inspect, and the number of quarantine days, if any.

 

2.  Inspection Zone/Inspection Location: Either the Inspection Zone or the Inspection Location must be entered on the Item/Warehouse Master Maintenance screen WHM150D2-01.

 

3.  Default Inventory Status: If the status is 0 (Received) or 1 (Inspection), the item moves from the receiving location to the inspection location in inspection status. If the pallet status is not 0 or 1 (that is, 4 (Available) or 9 (Rejected)), the pallet moves to the inspection location with the default status, but the pallet will not proceed from the Inspection location to the Putaway location. You must manually move the stock.

 

4.  Pallet Status Codes: 0 (Received), 1 (Inspection), 4 (Available), and 9 (Rejected) are the only pallet status codes reserved by the system to update and advance inventory/pallet status. To do this Warehouse Management uses the following rules:

 

·    Rejected inventory goes from receiving to a Reject (type 9) Location with a Location Type A (Rejected) in the Location Extension file (ILE) record. All inventory received into a reject location is set to a pallet/inventory status of Reject (9).

·    Inventory received by Goods Receiving (WHM510) into a Receiving Location takes on the Default Inventory Status that is in the Item Warehouse file (IIW) record.

·    If the Default Inventory Status is 0 (Received), the system places the pallet status at 0 (Received) in the Receiving Location, I (Inspection) in the Inspection Location, and 4 (Available) if moved from Inspection to any palletized location other than rejection. If moved to rejection the Default Inventory Status changes to 9 (Rejected).

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Role-Based Security introduces Role type profiles and allows combining the use of Role profiles with the traditional LX User type security profile functionality. The new Role type profile can be defined to allow or deny access to All Products, Attention Key, Products, Programs, and Transaction Effects. Facility, Warehouse, and Company securities are still defined solely by the User profile settings and are not affected by the assignment of a Role. Where applicable, the Role authority is displayed alongside the User authority on the security profile maintenance screens making it easy to see where there are differences in authority between the User and the assigned Roles. 

When Users are assigned to Roles, security access in LX becomes a combination of authorities granted or denied by the Role, plus any User Exceptions. User Exceptions override authorities set by the Roles. A User can also be assigned to more than one Role.

Tips: LN | Baan

Misplaced inventory… this happens all the time, but it CAN be avoided.

As part of an employee’s initial training, they should be taught the importance of proper inventory handling. This training should occur even if inventory handling is not their job! Employees need to know how the actions (or lack thereof) of one individual affects the rest of the company and the system used to run your business. Proper inventory management is the responsibility of ALL employees.

If a particular machine in your shop breaks down a lot, and you are seeing lots of scrap on every job, maybe it is time to look at what is going on. Is there truly a problem with the machine? If so, get it fixed, or move production to another line. Maybe it is a problem with how the machine operator has been trained, or maybe it is due to poor quality materials that are being used as components on a given job. Until you dig in to find the root cause, you can’t fix the problem.
