Re: hey group

Jeff/Dale,

At Beck we do the same thing as Fleetwood, sell and keep inventory by
the piece in our case.  Items are boxed and the label's bar code has a
packing indicator which is used to determine the quantity in the box.

I think what Jeff needs is a method to know what size package is in the
various locations.  We don't keep track of that as most items are in a
standard sized box.  If Jeff has 5 different bottle sizes and they are
kept in stock then his idea of an SLQNTY auxiliary file has potential.
Things would be simplified if 2 sizes of the same liquid were not
allowed in the same location.

Jeff, you probably won't like this, but we do this here.  How we do it
is
we sell it by the inch (or ml in this case).  And we charge by the inch.
We cut it to length, box or bag it (depending on the part), and charge
for
what was shipped.

It works OK, the customer orders how much he/she wants, and
shipping/packout handles it.  Pricing is no problem, they pay for what
they
get.

I don't see how lot control would be impacted doing that scenario,
either.

   I am working with a customer that has a pkg situation.   they sell
the
   same item no. in various pkgs, ie 1 ml, 5 ml, 10, ml etc....    they
also
   have lot control and are using all 10 characters,  any ideas of how
we
can
   defferientiate the pkg size would be appreciated....additional part
number
   is not an option....we'd like to avoid using locations as pkg
info......

   any ideas would be welcome...an integrator solutions with a tag along
file
   to SLQNTY  sounds like a lot of wrap code, we'd like to avoid....

   If you have solved this or have ideas, we'd like to hear from you....


   thanks
