4.43 How are Bins displayed when the Tech is working with Parts in the Portal?

Updated on

Steps on the screenshots correspond to the numbers in the headings

When adding Parts,  users will see a few different views when it comes to Bin Locations of the selected part.

When using the new PART SEARCH from the WORK Module, the Bin information is not shown during the part need selection process.  It is not until you are back at the task level and you are looking at the actual Part Icon and the Part Need that you will be able to access that information.  

PART IS IN STOCK IN MULTIPLE BINS

Please note that the system determines where the stock pulls from.  If, for example, you are requesting a quantity of 4, and you have 3 available in 01A01 and 3 Available in the WORKORDER bin, you can't designate which bin EFP will pull the stock from.  

1. After adding the Part need to the Task, the last screen is the confirmation page, which gives you the option to add another part need or to view the Task.

2. Click View Task to return to the Summary Tab of the Task.

3. Click on the Parts icon.

4. Click on Part Needs.

5. Go to the three dots under Action and select View Part Bin Information.

6. A pop-up will show the bin(s) where this part is stored.

This is read-only information.  In this example, there is stock on hand in both Bin 01A01 and the WORKORDER Bin, but the allocation for this task is from Bin 01A01.  That is where the Technician should go get his/her parts from.

7. Once you've finished viewing the information, click Dismiss to close the window.

This is the only place where you see this information.  You will not see it on the confirmation page when you consume the parts.

PART IS NOT IN STOCK

This is an example of when the part is stocked in multiple bins, and there is 0 quantity On Hand in all the bins.

8. When the part need was added, the Task went to Hold/Waiting on Materials because the Part was not in Stock.

9. Click on the Part icon.

10. From the Part Needs view, click on the three dots at the end of the line.

Notice that the Quantity Allocated is zero, and the Quantity Requested is one.

11. Choose View Bin Information.  A pop-up box comes up.

12. As this part is not in stock yet, the bin information is missing.

As soon as the part is received by the Supply Chain team, the information will populate, including the bin information.
