Re: Receiving Items going into a blank location.

Your version might work differently than our 405 CD, but I sould suggest you check the following:

Is a blank location desired & valid for your BPCS setup? it is not for ours.
If a blank location exists in the location master, will BPCS let you code it for deletion?
So long as you don't hard delete that location, it cannot be recreated.
There are 2 issues: getting rid of everything now using that blank location;
Soft coding it if BPCS front door disallows the action ... do you have to update any other files in sync, if you using the back door?

There are times there is a need for a "this is nothing" item or location.
Physical Inventory for example, where we don't want to delete tags from the sequence of all accounted for.
We use VOID for that purpose.

SYS800 System Parameters has a default location for the entire envoironment.
Ours is a factory warehouse. What's yours?

Files, associated with Orders and Allocations, each have default locations, which simple programs can adjust when the item activity begins.

Do you know which those files are, what are their default locations, and do you have such programs in place?

Sometimes when humans are doing transactions, there are fields to populate, and sometimes new employees do not know what are valid contents. With INV300 and other tools, you can find out by what transaction by what employee by what program, items were received into your inventory. Create a report listing all those received into an improper location, to see if there's obvious patterns.

Certain types of transactions are supposed to be done by programs other than INV500, but can in fact be done, sometimes incorrectly, by INV500.

Hi,

We're currently using V6.0.02 and I'm trying to work out/remember if
it's possible to setup items so that they have to be received into a
location when you generate purchase receipts. The reason for this is
that we are repeatedly finding stock in blank locations, which is
causing a problem for our shop floor processes.

I thought that it was as simple as setting the receiving warehouse's
"default receiving location" to a valid (non-blank) location, but this
doesn't seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Paul
