RE: Quality Instructions for Purchased items

Shawn,

Here is the section out of the Purchasing users guide.

Dock to stock control
The Purchasing application receives material in two different ways:
* Receiving transactions. If detailed dock-to-stock control is not necessary
for your organization, receive material using transactions with entry codes
found in Inventory Management. Through the use of these receiving
transactions, you can report material received to the dock, to inspection,
and to the stock room.  All these Purchasing transactions are written to the
Inventory Management Transaction History file so you can review them if
necessary. For detailed information about receiving transaction entry, see
the Inventory Management User's Guide.
* Receiving routings. The use of receiving routings allows your company to
track and schedule material receipts on a more detailed basis. Using this
method, you can describe in precise detail how material flows from the
receiving dock to the stockroom. The three standard receiving steps can now
be expanded to a virtually unlimited number of steps.  As time is reported
during the receiving operations, you can print an up-to-date Dock to Stock
Work List. This shows you potential problem orders as they near their
required in-stock date. With this information, work can be adjusted in the
receiving work centers to expedite material receipt processing.
Dock to Stock Work List (AMV750)
The Dock to Stock Work List (AMV750) prints on demand. This report prints
only if purchase order receiving routings have been attached to some or all
of the purchase orders in your files.  Use the Work List Generation Options
(Select) display (AMV710) to choose whether you want the items on the report
prioritized by order due date or by critical ratio. The critical ratio is
calculated by subtracting the Run Date from the Due To Stock Date and
dividing by the cumulative lead time remaining for the item. Any hours
reported for the processing of the item and hours associated with completed
operations are subtracted from the cumulative lead time. A critical ratio
value of less than one indicates that the item is behind schedule and you
need to take expedited action.  Any management priority overrides take
precedence over either the due date or the critical ratio calculations.
These overrides force the applicable orders to the top of the work list; use
them with caution.  Use the Work List Horizon field to define the end of the
work period for which you want the report to be calculated. This date must
be a valid work date and it must be later than the Run Date. The Run Date
must be a valid work day and you do not enter a date, defaults to the System
Date.
The valid choices for major sort sequence are:
* Work Center
* Department
* Foreman.
You also choose whether you want to see all orders or only those orders
under a specific critical ratio printed on your report. For example, by
selecting a critical ratio value of 0.50 to 1.20, you can limit the report
to include only those items that may need attention now or in the near
future.
The work list report is divided into three sections.
* A picture of those operations currently in a work center
* Those operations waiting to enter a work center
* Those operations entering a work center sometime in the near future.
The report is printed on a work center by work center basis within the sort
criteria previously defined. Through the use of this report, you can readily
see which orders are falling behind schedule and need to be expedited
through the receiving cycle.

This should help

I just found where you can create a routing for a purchased item.  Does
anybody know how to get that to print when the receiver prints?  We use
PQR (Purchasing Quick Receiver) Thanks

Are you trying to put these instructions in on where these parts are
used?  
Or is this instructions for when they come in the door
(receiving/inspection)?

We have a need to use some instructions for purchased items (what to
check, what gage to use ...)  We currently put this information into the
routing for manufactured items but it seems that you can't have a
routing for a purchased item.  What are others doing to handle this.  It
was mentioned that maybe there is something in the purchasing module.
Anybody aware of this?  Thanks
