Use the Subcontract transfers function to modify a stock line or a group of stock lines to transfer stock from a supplier to a new internal-type location.

The features to be covered by the function are determined by the choice of a stock change transaction of type Sub-contract return that can be set up.

Presentation

On opening the function Subcontract returns, the user must choose a transaction from those set up.
Depending on the role planned by the chosen transaction, use the function to carry out movements of the internal type, that is to say a location change and/or status change and/or unit change (packing, unpacking), and all this within one site.  You can either have one transaction for each role or combine roles on one transaction.
SEEINFO A transaction performing a subcontract return of the supplier transfer can also be used for internal movements at the same time (status change and PAC unit change).

Selection block

The subcontract return is performed on a specific slip. The same slip can gather subcontract transfers for several products. It is however necessary to select the stock lines to be modified product by product.
The Product field of the Selection header block acts as a filter for stock lines to be moved.

Stock lines block

Use the Subcontract returns function to intervene on a stock line or a group of stock lines. These stock lines have to be selected by picking in the case of a mass subcontract return. They are shown in the Stock Selections panel.
SEEINFO So that the stock lines appear in this selection panel, it is necessary to have entered a product code and sub-contractor code.
The selected stock lines generate lines on sub-contractor return slip.

Selection of stock lines
The Stock selection panel is loaded with all the stock lines of the product. These lines can be filtered in order to reduce their number and specify the additional filters in the dedicated window, activated using the Picking criteria button.
The selection is made by picking the displayed lines either one by one or as a group of lines. The selection of a group of lines is made by picking the first line to be selected and the last amongst the lines shown in the selection panel whilst holding the [Shift] key down: all the lines contained between these two lines are then selected.  To select several groups of stock lines, the [Control] and [Shift] keys need to be used.
The stock quantity selected on a line is limited to the available quantity for this stock line (the available stock for each line is shown in the Stock lines selection panel).

Case of the products managed by serial numbers
The picking of the serial numbers to be modified can take place in several ways: 

  • by a multiple selection of consecutive serial numbers in the selection panel: the system aggregates on a single slip line the group of selected consecutive serial numbers,
  • by selecting line by line the serial numbers to be processed: the system only aggregates serial numbers if the line by line selection is made in consecutive serial number order. As soon as the sequence is broken, the system creates a new slip line.

Sub-contract return
The lines on the note created in this way show, according to the setup of the selected sub-contractor return transaction, the source stock information and the target stock information.
Based on the role of the transaction used, it is possible to change the target information in order to specify the quantity to be processed, the target location, the target warehouse, the target status, the target unit, or the movement description either directly on the document line or via the sub-contractor return Detail entry screen if the selected stock must be distributed between several locations, several warehouses or with several statuses or several units.

Status change
For each product, in the Management tab of the product record, it is possible to specify if it is necessary to generate an analysis request if the new status will be of Q* type.
When creating the note, the system generates as many stock movements as there are modified stock lines.
It is not possible to modify a created sub-contractor return: to modify a previous movement, it is necessary to carry out a movement in the opposite direction. Nevertheless, the detail of the modifications made can be viewed by clicking Stock movement inquiry from the Actions icon on the slip line.

Subcontract return
Use the Subcontract returns function to transfer stock from a subcontract supplier to a new location. Transactions are used to foresee this type of transfer. These types of transactions contain a specific selection panel.
A single subcontract transfer note can only concern a single sub-contract supplier at a time, which is to be assigned in the selection panel.

  • If the entered supplier is also defined as a customer, with one or several ship-to customer addresses, then entering a delivery address gives specifications on the ship-to customer and the subcontract location defined for this customer. The sub-contract location field in the stock transfer note is automatically loaded and can no longer be modified. If no location exists for the ship-to customer, the sub-contract location field of the transfer note can be manually entered.
  • If the supplier is not defined as a customer, the system searches the location attached to the supplier (Commercial tab in the Supplier record): this location will be the target location. If no location has been defined for the supplier, it is necessary to enter the target location for the transfer in the stock transfer slip header.

Action icon

Enter stock chge det

In stock movement entry, a stock line (or a set of stock lines for consecutive serial numbers) can be distributed into multiple locations, statuses or units. To do so, open a detailed entry window to distribute the quantity into the required stock data.

The detailed entry window is composed of a header and a stock lines grid.

  • The header picks up the stock characteristics of the stock line to be changed (or the stock lines if consecutive serial numbers have been selected) as well as the quantity to be processed.
  • The table only picks up the target stock information that the stock transaction plans to modify as well as the quantity to be processed.

Within the header section of this window, under the [Options] button, it is possible to inquire and potentially modify the analytical sections attached to the issue and receipt movements, only in the case of a slip for a stock transfer from a site to another.
SEEINFO In the case of subcontract return or supplier transfer slips, analytical sections are not managed.
