If you find a part number on site that is not in stock, is a much better option to create a new stock record for your site vs. simply using the Logistics Manager to adjust it in. When using the Logistics Manager to adjust the quantity in for the first time, the stock record is added -- BUT the refill flag is NOT checked.
The Supply Chain Specialist has permissions to add a Stock Record to their Site. Stock Records are location specific.
1. From the main menu, go to Inventory > Stock.
2. Click New in the header.
3. Enter the Part ID number or click the magnifying glass next to the Part ID to look up the Part number.
If you are going to enter part of the description, be sure to include wildcards such as *power* to search.
Once you have located the part number, you can double click to load or highlight and click ok.
4. Enter the ST# for the site in the Place ID field.
5. Enter the desired Location. If you do not know what locations are available, you can search by clicking on the magnifying glass.
6. The Target Min/Max must be left at zero.
Do NOT increase the Min/Max at this time or an Escalation will be generated to the Supply Chain Support Team and Requisitions will not generate until the Escalation is approved.
The Preferred Supplier can be entered by the Sourcing Role for the Site.
If the part is a repairable part, then the Preferred Repair Supplier will be listed: Either of the IPS Facilities depending on what type of part it is.
7. The Cycle Count Period defaults to 365. You would only change this to 180 if your site's contract requires you to count twice a year.
8. Min Order Quantity defaults to 1. You would only change this if you have to order the stock in a specific quantity (like boxes of 6).
9. Min Replen Quantity defaults to 1. Leave it at that.
10. Average Lead Time defaults to zero.
The Last Issue, Last Receipt and Last Activity Dates will all show the time you created the Stock Record with a Quantity of zero.
11. Leave the Blocked box unchecked. This would prevent you from having stock at your site.
12. Ours is only checked if the stock is in the ATS Location.
13. Refill is automatically checked. It becomes unchecked when the Target Min/Max is increased and will not become checked again until the escalation is approved by the Supply Chain Support team.
14. The Replenish box must remain unchecked or a requisition will not generate.
15. Click Save in the Header.
