Use this function to define a set of management rules to apply to the stock movements. These rules should be used as default rules on creating a product category.

A set of default management rules is submitted when delivering the software package.

For each movement type, you can refine the management rules by movement code at Product category level (these movement codes must be set up in the Miscellaneous table no. 14).

You can use several management rules for the same movement type. The movement codes used are linked to a stock note transaction: the choice of a note mentioning a specific movement code determines the management rule that will be used.

Screen management

At this level of setup, it is mandatory to have a management rule for each single movement type managed by the system:

  • In the receipt flows
  • In the output flows

In each tab dedicated to these flow types, these movements are displayed in a table in a fixed order.

For each movement type, a management rule is used to determine the behaviors associated namely with locations, statuses and lot management.

Entry screen

Grid

Movement type (field TRSTYP)

Stock movement type.
Location (field LOCNUM)

Specify the location category associated with this movement type (the titles of the locations can be chosen from the user local menu no. 2707).
The default location for a stock movement will be determined based on this category. The default location will indeed be loaded by searching in the product-site for the location corresponding to this category.
Authorized statuses (field AUZSTA)

Indicate which statuses are authorized in this stock movement type.
A control is carried out upon frid validation so as to only display the chosen authorized statuses.

Authorized substatuses (field AUZSST)

Specify here which sub-statuses are authorized for this stock movement type. To do so, click on Authorized statuses from the Actions icon. Entry is possible in grid mode by selecting the grids from the stock status table or by entering a sub-status template with generic characters (*,?,#,!). On validating this grid, a control is carried out to keep only those corresponding to the chosen authorized statuses.

If this field is left empty, it will be automatically populated with the sub-status templates corresponding to the authorized statuses.

Default status (field DEFSTA)

It is possible to specify a sub-status by default to facilitate the entry of stock movements. The latter must respect one of the templates defined previously.
Analysis request (field QLYCTLFLG)

Use this parameter to save an analysis request to be processed by the Quality control function, in the event that the status has been entered with the 'Q' value.

If the value of this parameter is "No", the switching of statuses to "A" or "R" cannot be performed in the Quality control function. It is necessary to use the Stock change transactions function.
Lot entry (field DACLOT)

Use this field to specify the manual entry conditions of the lot code for the stock movement type.

Free entry

It is possible to enter an existing lot code.

New lot

The entered lot code must not exist in the base.

No

It is impossible to enter a lot code. In this case, the set up default value for the lot code is used again and the lot sequence number is activated.
Default batch (field LOTSUPINH)

In this field, you can set up a default value for the entered lot:

None
Supplier lot

The system submits the entered supplier lot number as the internal lot number.

Document number

The system submits the document number that triggered the receipt to stock as the lot number default value .

The table shown below summarizes the impact of the management rule setup on the Receipt type movements in a mandatory lot management context.

In an optional lot management context, use the Actions icon to access an additional function from the Lot field, when performing the receipt to stock: with this function, you can indicate that you want to save a blank lot.
