RE: Out Side Services on BPCS CD -- BPCS-L

this is a perpetual battle for us. we are a union shop and shipping /
receiving is a lower paid position. so we lose people to higher paid
positions when we are expanding and we get people bumping into shipping
/ receiving when we are contracting. 

to try to differentiate between regular receipts and OP receipts we use
a convention in purchasing where the regular inventory PO's use a 5
digit PO number and the OP PO's use a 4 digit PO number. we try to
explain this to the receiving clerk and it works pretty well. but this
is not fool-proof. if purchasing transposes the 4 and 5 digit PO numbers
we have problem. we have some queries that run each night that look for
inventory items on 4 digit po's and OP items on 5 digit po's. if we find
them we fix them the next day.

the other query that we run is any U txns processed for OP items and OO
txns processed for regular inventory items. again these are after the
fact, but they are at least fixed the next day.

We are getting ready to implement outside processing.  This posting
came at the right moment, confirming the ability to use the "U"
transaction effect code when receiving a purchase order that is marked
for outside processing.  Specifically how did you train the receiving
staff to use the correct transaction?

Has anyone modified PUR550 to validate the correct transaction code is
being used for outside processing purchase orders?          

Thank you,

version 6.1

the OO does not update the perpetual inventory. be careful how it is
interfaced to the general ledger as you only want to update the cost
of
the OP operation, not the total std cost of the part.

be careful when you try to close the work order. i believe that the
work order will not close until the OP PO is 'fully received and
costed'. as we aren't real good at this, we have many OP PO's hanging
around that are not complete and we cannot close the corresponding
shop
order. 

finally, train the receiving staff!!!!! all kinds of things can happen
when they receive an OP part using the U inventory transaction.  and
vice versa. and bpcs does not check for this transposition.

Here is two separate questions / issues in doing outside services.  
Maybe 
someone can share some advice.

We are doing more outside services.    How do you create paper work to

ship items out?   Today we hand write misc. Packslips and Bill of
Ladings?
Today we have an operation on a shop order for out side shipping.   
The 
dispatch list for that work center creates a list of items to be
shipped 
out.   We then have an  operation / workcenter to receive back in on.
This 
helps us track where the parts are. 

Then we create a PO for an item representing the Outside charges.   
This 
item is then received in and issued to the Shop order.   This applies
the 
cost to the shop order.     I have been testing the way a PO can be
tied 
to a shop order and operation.    I noticed the "OO" - outside receipt

transaction.    What does this transaction do differently than the "U"
PO 
receipt.

Thanks
