Konrad,
Thanks for the confirmation. BTW, it's only 18 year old knowledge for
me.... What is it about us MAPICS people?

Dale,
Twenty year old knowledge still works for MAPICS. RI's do not show in
inventory till they are approved. :)
Regards
Konrad

Nandu,
I haven't tested this in a loooong time, but the last time we did (at
least a decade ago, probably more), it didn't show as on hand (MOHTQ in
ITEMBL) until we did an "RP" (Purchase Receipt to Stock). As we run
(and live on) MRP, that caused a lot of havoc for our Purchasing
department. It certainly wouldn't surprise me if MAPICS had enhanced
that over the last "few" years....
Thanks - now you've made me feel old! (And if Joan McCready reads this,
she will certainly come back with an appropriate comment.)

Dale,
I'm afraid that I may have stated the consequences of RI and PQ
transactions incorrectly. I guess this is how it works:
RI: Adds qty to LQNTY (Loc Qty)in file SLQNTY (Item Locations)
PQ: Adds qty to MOHTQ (On-hand Qty) in file ITEMBL (Item Warehouses)
Actually our test environment is down and I haven't had the opportunity
to test these processes.

Nandu,
We had a similar situation in the past at our company, and were leaning
hard towards your "option 2". Our biggest concern was that the
material/parts don't show as on-hand for MRP until the "RP" is
processed, which can cause a lot of headachs for Purchasing. In our
case, the situation went away before we decided (changed vendors and how
we acquired the parts).
However, we currently do a lot of your "option 1" methodology for
shipping our product. We are in the opposite situation - we need to
relieve our inventory of product as soon as it is shipped, but we cannot
bill until it is actually delivered (SEC regulations). So we just do a
"TW" into an in-transit warehouse, then invoice and relieve all
inventory on delivery confirmation. That works very well - the biggest
benefits are that accounting knows exactly what is in-transit and we
still have full visibility in the system.
I know that if we had to choose what to do today, we would pick "option
2" over the alternative. I think you have better auditing control
(IMHIST, actual on-hands in inventory locations, and so on).

Hello Group,
We have an interesting business situation. We are the American
subsidiary of a Danish manufacturing company and we procure 99% of our
components from our parent company. Our parent company sends us invoices
as soon as the components are shipped from Denmark and based on the
agreement between the parent company and the subsidiary, all invoices
get paid even before the components arrive at the American warehouses.
To facilitate invoice processing in MAPICS, we have been doing a
receipt-to-dock process upon receiving invoices from our parent company.
This ensures that invoices get processed and at the same time the
components are not in stock. However, our Finance department is not
comfortable with this entire process because at any given point in time,
we have a huge amount of inventory on our books, but we don't have those
components in our MAPICS warehouses. All our warehouses are controlled
warehouses.
The challenge that we are faced with is to design a process which will
help us get away from our current process. I have two thoughts on my
mind:
Option 1: Set up a transit warehouse with a unique location for each of
our warehouses. So every time we get an invoice, we can perform a
receipt-to-stock into a location (unique to the warehouse the components
are being shipped to). As soon as the warehouses physically receive the
components, they can do an inter-warehouse transfer to move the items
from the transit warehouse into their warehouse.
Option 2: Set up a quality control process where the components are
received (RI transaction) into the actual stocking warehouses and
flagged to go through a quality control process. Upon physically
receiving the components, the warehouse can perform quality control
transactions (PQ) to approve the items and make them available for
consumption.
>From an inventory and procurement viewpoint, Option 2 is going to work
better as item availability at the item-warehouse level gives us an
overview of what's on-hand, on-order, allocated for a given warehouse
and we don't have to take into consideration what is in another
warehouse (transit). I would like to know about some important
inventory/procurement/financial implications of Option 1 and Option 3. I
would also like to get other ideas using which an appropriate solution
can be implemented.
Look forward to your responses.
Thanks,
Nandu
