Re: Goods in Transit

Isaac,

If you are sure that you want to take ownership of the goods before you 
actually have them on your dock, you can create a "virtual" warehouse 
assigned to the facility that will actually receive the goods, and then 
execute a receipt to stock transaction to have the PO received and start 
the payment cycle. When the goods actually do arrive at your dock, do a 
Mass Location Transfer from the virtual warehouse to your physical 
warehouse. I would suggest that you create a special receipt transaction 
to do the initial PO receipt to the virtual warehouse. Do this by copying 
the (U) PO Receipt and rename it something like (BU) which might mean its 
a "before receipt, receipt", if you know what I mean. The virtual 
warehouse should be setup as non-allocatable, and NOT Netable, so that MRP 
and Sales (if purchased finished goods) do not consider them available to 
use. You need to discuss this approach with Planning and Scheduling since 
they will now have to create PO's to be received at the new virtual 
warehouse, and their PO's will disappear from their MRP screens before 
they are available for them to use. They may have to create "dock to 
stock" routings to cover the extra lead time represented by the in-transit 
time.  Good luck.

Re: [BPCS-L] Goods in Transit






I am using the receipt to inspection transaction but we want it to be a
liability to the company so that we can go ahead and effect payment. We
are using freight forwarders and they normally send us the invoices as
soon as the goods are delivered to them.

Isaac, I assume this is not a DRP situation where the goods would
already  be 
in an intransit whse/location. You might consider using the receipt to 
inspection transaction. Most users avoid this because it goes on the
books too 
soon, but in your case it may be ok.

Hi  All,



I want to configure BPCS so that our accounts guys can  invoice and pay
for our goods in transit. What is the best way to go about  this? We are
on 6.1.01.
