Re: Lots in Multiple Facility via Transaction History

Hi Harold,

Thank you for this very helpful information. As we get more 
into this I might have some additional questions. I also used
to travel and work in Boxmeer, Netherlands.

Thanks,
Paul

Subject: [BPCS-L] Lots in Multiple Facility via Transaction History

Hi Paul,
 
What we do to mark the lots with the facility where they are created is
the following:
Every night we schedule a job that checks from the lots that are created
that day in which facility the lot is created. The way we do this is by
retrieving the facility of the warehouse where the 1st transaction of a
lot took place. This facility is written into the Manufacturer field of
the lot master (LNMGR from ILN).
 
Example:
On 4th of Dec 100 KG of Lot ABC123 from item DEF created on Production
Reporting in Warehouse SF.
In Transaction History (file ITH) you will find the following record:
Tdate         Ttype   Lot      Item  Qty  Whse
20061204      PR      ABC123   DEF   100  SF
 
In Warehouse Master (IWM) the facility from whse SF is retrieved. The
Manufacturer field in Lot Master record (ILN) from lot ABC123 is updated
with the facility. 
 
With this solution we can still use standard BPCS lot creation logic
like YYMM + 6 digit sequence number and we can trace the source facility
of a lot even when the lot is transferred from one facility the the
other.

Harold Swaanen
