Re: Customer consignment or Pay as Built

While waiting for good reply here, take a look on your system for a file
called BPCSDOC.

You can find it with PDM where the library is *LIBL default.

BPCSDOC is a source member file, where each member is a different
BPCS "manual". There should be one prefixed SSARUN for each application
module of BPCS.

One problem is that the one on customer orders is too large to view via
standard PDM SEU, so we have had to break ours into pieces to make it
manageable.

The first on-line "manual" in BPCSDOC that you should study hard is called
SSALOG00 or the logic manual, which helps you navigate the rest of
the "documentation" ... scarce yes, hard to find yes, but SSALOG00 provides
a road map to documentation you probably did not know was on the system.

The on-line documentation is not as good as what comes in manuals, and
available from tech support, but it is better than nothing.

Hi all.

New to BPCS and have a few questions. I've got a project about doing
customer consignment inventory & billing. As we were laying out
the "normal" consignment process & checking it in the test system,
we came across something called Pay as Built. Now it sounds like
this could be just what we are looking for,

Here's the rest of the background (short version):
We will take an order, zero bill it, and ship the product to the customer.
The customer will use some of it, issue a notification of the
portion that they have used, and then have us bill them for that
part of the shipment. Rinse & repeat.

Question then becomes: Is this the Pay as Built, or should we be
looking at a different part of the system. Second, as I've got no
real knowledge of the system, and doc is very scarce, how would I
set this up as required above.

Any help is deeply appreciated.

Bill
