Steps in the screenshots correspond to the numbers in the headings.
Basically speaking, anytime that you request more of a quantity than you have on hand, EFP is going to split the lines into what is available, and what needs to be ordered.
Keep in mind, that one of the benefits of the re-designed part search is that you have more options for fulfilling the need, including selecting from multiple locations using the FASTER LEAD TIME tile and/or using similar parts in the CUSTOM tile.
1. For the line that is IN STOCK the options will be to: View Bin Info, Consume Part Need and to Edit the Need By Date.
2. For the line that will generate a requisition the options will be: View Part Bin Info, Edit Quantity, Edit Need By Date and Cancel Part Need.
3. If a Part Need has a Replacement Part, you must use all the original part before the replacement will start to be used. Your Supply Chain Specialist will mark the stock record for the original part so that requisitions will not be generated for it anymore.
Even though you search for the original part number, the replacement part will be pulled back. The replacement part will have its own line displayed.
In this example the user needs 6 washers.
- The original part number is 100023033 - it has 1 in stock.
- The replacement part number is 100023032 - it has 4 in stock.
- To obtain the total of 6, there will need to be one backordered line, and that will be the replacement part - ending in 2032.
4. The options under the Actions icon for the remaining ORIGINAL PART (2033) that is IN STOCK will be: View Part Bin Info, Consume Part Need, Edit Quantity, Edit Need By Date and Cancel Part Need. After this part is consumed this part will no longer be available to be used.
5. The replacement part (2032) has only 4 in stock. So the options for the replacement part that is IN STOCK (middle line) will be: View Part Bin Info, Consume Part Need and Edit Need By Date.
6. The replacement Part (2032) that are NOT in stock will also generate their own line (bottom line). These will go through the usual Req process. The option for this line under Actions will be: View Bin Info, Edit Quantity, Edit Need By Date and Cancel Part Need.
