RE: 4.05 CD Resupply Orders Question

Jim,
That is exactly the way it works. It is not an error.

1. You start with inventory at warehouse A.

2. When you create and print the resupply order, you reserve (hard
allocate) that inventory for this specific resupply order. You still
have an inventory balance at warehouse A.

3. When you confirm the order, you are physically removing it from
warehouse A to a truck. The inventory is not physically at warehouse A,
so the inventory balance should be zero. The inventory is not at the
receiving warehouse B yet, so that inventory is also zero. If to look at
the resupply order line detail, you will see a quantity ordered and a
quantity shipped but zero for the quantity received. Where is the
inventory physically, on a truck going from A to B. Where is it in BPCS,
on the resupply order as "intranet" inventory? It is no longer
physically at your locations. However, it is still your property, a
physical asset, and the inventory value in still on your G/L

4. Now you receive it into warehouse B. After the receipt is posted, you
can see it in inventory with a quantity. Look at the resupply order, and
you will find an order quantity, a ship quantity, and a received
quantity and they should all match.

Caution - If you are planning, do not make the shipping warehouse (A) or
the receiving warehouse B "non nettable", you will have planning errors.


You must also set-up a policy and procedure for handling inventory
errors.

In the past, I have also accomplished the distribution process without
DRP and resupply orders.

If you would like additional information on Planning with resupply
orders, inventory error handling or DRP in general, please contact me

We are on 05.01.01
We have II and IR transactions (in transit issue and in transit receipt)
When inventory leaves the first plant, you get the 'B' relieving the
inventory, and the 'IR' putting it back on hand
Then when received at the second plant, 'II' relieves the in-transit
wh/loc
and the 'H' puts it on hand
This is controlled in DRP100 (in-transit wh and loc fields)
We use a separate wh for intransit inventory - non-nettable, because the
product isn't yet available for consumption at the 'to' wh
And we make the 'to' wh belong to the 'to' facility, trusting that our
shipping facility did a good job confirming the order appropriately
(which
has caused some  conflicts between the plants...)

Subject:    4.05 CD   Resupply Orders Question


Good day.
We are on 4.05CD and considering using Customer Order
   Entry with Order Type = 9...Resupply Order
   in order to better "schedule & track"
   transfers between warehouses.
Everything sems great:
 Order Entry with appropriate Ship From Warehouse
       and Ship To Warehouse
 Order Pick Release, Pick Print , Pick Confirm
     Which correctly relieves Inventory in
     the Ship From Warehouse
 Resupply Order receipt which correctly adds
     inventory in the ship to warehouse
 MRP is not confused
 INV300 clearly shows both sides of the transaction

BUT
  If we move the entire qty from one whs to another;
  After the Order Confirm relieves inventory
  and before the truck arrives at the receiving
    warehouse and they do the receipt
  When we look at our "On Hand Balance"
    it is incorrectly ZERO.
We must be missing something ??
Our Confirmation does a normal "B" trans.
Should it "move" the qty to some "in transit loc" ?
I suspect that there is some "set-up" that we missed...

Thanks

Jim Barry

  we see that is reduced...
  but it really is not ZERO on hand
