This process can be carried out either directly, in simulation mode or in Batch mode.

Prerequisite

SEEREFERTTO Refer to documentation Implementation

Screen management

A selection window is used to choose the purge criteria.

Entry screen

This function is used to purge the serial numbers issued before the specified date (STOSER table), for the selected site. A control is carried out to check that the serial numbers involved in a transfer are not deleted.

A Warehouse site must be specified in the serial numbers to be purged selection window. By default, the site associated with the operator in their profile is pre-loaded.

Shipped before: The default date corresponds to the current date minus the value (in months) if the MARPURSER setup (serial number purge safety margin). In fact, this general setup is used to determine a reference date for the purge. If it is not defined or if its value is null, it will not be possible to purge the serial numbers issued for less than 12 months.

If the Simulation tick-box is ticked, it signifies that the process will not be carried out in direct mode.

Process log file: The process generates a log file for the purged serial numbers. It is possible to print it.

Block number 1

Stock site (field STOFCY)

Enter or select the storage site where the selected product is active.

The Selection icon (magnifying glass) only suggests products that are referenced in the products-sites table.
Delivered before (field PURSERDAT)

Specify the reference date for the purge. All serial number issued before this date will be deleted.

Block number 2

Simulation (field SIM)

  • Simulation Mode ("Simulation" tick box checked): a fictitious adjustment of issue prices is performed. No modification is recorded. 
    A log file appears with the details of the performed update by clicking [Ok], at the end of the execution. The price adjustment should be used on a specific product, the simulation is limited to one BOM level.

  • Actual Mode ("Simulation" tick box not checked): an effective adjustment of issue prices is performed. A log file is available by selecting "detailed log file" in the STOTRACE- Log level stock update parameter (STO chapter, MIS group).

Batch task

This function can be run in batch mode. The standard task FUNSTPE is provided for that purpose.
