Products-sites

The product status determines how its availability has evolved. The different statuses are: Active, In development, On shortage, Not renewed, Obsolete, and Not usable.

During product creation, the default status is dependent on the creation method defined for the assigned product category:

• If the product category Creation method is set to Direct, the product status will be Active.
• If the product category Creation method is set to With validation, the default product status will be In development.

Impact of the product status in the sales and purchase modules

Sales

• An Active product can be entered and selected in all sales documents.
• An In development, On shortage, Not renewed, or Obsolete product can be entered (a warning message is displayed) in all sales documents but it will not be submitted for selection.
• A Not usable product cannot be entered (blocking message) or submitted for selection.

Purchases

• An Active product can be entered and selected in all purchase documents.
• An In development, On shortage, Not renewed, or Obsolete product can be entered (a non-blocking warning message is displayed) in all purchase documents but it will not be submitted for selection.
  Upon receipt of the product, an order or a delivery can be selected.
  A product with an In development status can be entered on a request for quote.

• A Not usable product can be entered in the following documents (a warning message is displayed) but will not be submitted for selection:

  • Purchase orders
  • Contracts
  • Buyer plan
  • Planning workbench: generation of orders or delivery requests only
  • Enterprise planning: generation of orders or delivery requests only
  • Grouping workbench: the orders for products with this status have the suffix "-"
  • Purchase invoices

  Upon receipt of the product, an order or a delivery can be selected.

Use the status to change product availability. The titles in the local menu can be set up and managed as follows:

Active: The product is available in all the processes.

In development

On shortage: The product does not appear in search results, but it can be used by directly entering its code. A non-blocking warning message appears. If the product category creation method is With validation, the status cannot be accessed and its value is forced to the In development value.

Not renewed

Obsolete

Not usable: The product does not appear in search results and cannot be used in scripts. It can however be used in purchase invoices, by directly entering its code. In that case, a non-blocking warning message is displayed.

The product reference.

The product reference is the first component of the product-site identifier.

Defines how stock of the product is managed.

Not managed: The product is not managed in stock. It’s a service or a general purchase, for example.

Managed

Potency managed: A management rule is applied. Management of quantities in stock requires an active quantity and a physical quantity.

Indicates that the product is considered when packing.

This information can be defined at the product category level and then modified at the product-site level.

Indicates that serial numbers are considered when packing.

This checkbox is only available if:

• The serial numbers are managed in Global receipt & issue mode.

• The Stock detail checkbox is selected.

The packaging code to use when delivering the product.

This code is used for automatic packing.

The classification to use with the product with regard to its importance to the turnover or to the stock, for example.

The ABC category is used as a selection criterion in the stock count lists. Values between A and D can be entered manually or set up to update from the ABC statistical analysis. At the time of creation, the product is not associated with any statistical data and is classified in category D, by default.

The frequency of counts for products in this category.

Annual count

Cycle count

Not counted: This frequency is only available for products that are not managed in stock.

The stock issue mode. The mode can be defined at category level, then refined by site category.

You need to specify, for the product, when it’s defined as a material for a finished or semi-finished product:

• whether it’s consumed when tracking the work order (immediate consumption)
• or whether it’s consumed when closing the work order (post-consumption)

2 parameters from the material tracking transaction are associated with the issue mode. When tracking materials, the materials to be proposed for consumption in the transaction (post consumption / immediate / all stock issue in the Materials tab in the tracking transaction) can be filtered.

The parameters are:

Immediate: In the tracking transaction, it’s possible to impose a detailed entry of the material consumption (Strict manual issue parameter).

Post consumption: The products will be consumed when closing the work order. They can be excluded from a manual material issue entry for the work order.

No management: For a product not managed in stock.

Indicates that locations are managed for the product.

This field is subject to the LPN—License plate no. management activity code. The information is defined by default at product category level. You can modify it.

If this checkbox is selected, you can:

• Specify a default container
• Access the table used to draw up the list of containers associated with the product-site

The default container to use when creating license plate numbers on the fly during a stock entry for the product-site.

This field is subject to the LPN—License plate no. management activity code. It can only be entered if the Container management checkbox is selected.

The lead time of the new control to be used when receiving stock.

This value will be used to calculate the new control date based on the reference date. It’s entered in days or months.

The automatic stock status when a lot in stock reaches a new control date.

A: The status of the product moves to Q or R when the new control date is reached.

Q: The product can be controlled on expiry. The date can be extended or the product can be rejected.

R: The product is rejected when it reaches its new control date.

The quality control process for the product can be described using a technical record. These records contain text descriptions, but also a set of questions and answers that can be used to carry out statistical analyses of the quality control results.

The use-by date (UBD) conversion factor.

The conversion factor can only be accessed if the following conditions are met:

• The product is expiration managed.
• Expiration management (Management field (EXYMGTCOD)) is not based on a rounded value for the start or end of the month.

This conversion factor is used to calculate, in calendar days, the use-by lead time, based on the shelf life defined at the product record level.

UBD lead time = Shelf life x UBD coefficient.

This UBD lead time is used to determine the use-by date of the product, based on its stock receipt date.

UBD = Lot receipt date + UBD lead time

Defining a UBD provides the customer receiving the lot with the guarantee that the use-by date of their goods is after the expiration date.

Example:

• Shelf life = 2 months (60 days)
• UBD coefficient = 0.5
• UBD lead time = 30 days
• UBD = receipt date + 30 days

In creation mode, this value is initialized by default with the UBD coefficient entered in the Product record.

The use-by lead time, expressed in calendar days.

The lead time is calculated based on the UBD coefficient field (DLU). It is not available for entry.

The Location type to link to the product-site, by default.

The Location type can be used with stock movements. The default location type is defined for the Product category. You can enter a code with a generic character (*,#,!,?) or a code from the Location types table.

The Location to link to the product-site, by default.

The Location can be used with stock movements if the LOCSUG—Suggested locations parameter (STO chapter, MIS group) is set to Based on product setup.

The default location is defined for the Product category. You can enter a code with a generic character (*,#,!,?) or a code from the Locations table. If the location is a dedicated location, an assignment needs to be defined for the product.

The list of containers to use when you create container identifiers on the fly during a stock entry for the product-site. You need to add at least 1 line to authorize creation on the fly. This grid is subject to the LPN—Internal container management activity code.

You can only select from "internal" containers if the Container management checkbox is selected.

The quantity of possible units for the container.

This information is used to control the capacity when you create containers on the fly during a stock entry for the product-site.

Defines if the product needs to be controlled when receiving it into stock.

The assigned product Category determines the initial control value for the product-site record and the supplier-stock record. The supplier-stock record value provides the default value for purchase orders.

No control: The control is based on the management rules. It can be modified.

Non-changeable control: Quality control is needed for stock receipts. Q is the only valid status.

Changeable control: For a miscellaneous receipt into stock, the quality status is initialized to the value Q. This status can be changed to A or R.
The quality control code can also be defined at the purchase order level.

• If in the order, quality control is set to "Yes", quality control is needed. The receipt has a Q* status defined in the product management rule for receipt movements.
  If no sub-status is defined, the status cannot be entered at the time of receipt.
• If in the order, quality control is set to "No", quality control is not needed.
  At the time of receipt, A is suggested as the default status. This can be changed to one of the statuses defined in the receipt movement rule for the product.

Periodic control: This control is automated according to the number of receipts for the supplier and the product. The stock status can be modified during entry.

The number of entries carried out after the latest control.

This total is reinitialized at each control. When a periodic control is carried out for the product-supplier pair, the total entry number carried out on the product-site record is also reinitialized.

The quality control process for the product can be described using a technical record. Technical records contain text descriptions, but also a set of questions and answers used for statistical analyses of the quality control results.

Provides access to the product for a quality control operator.

The user profile needs the access code defined to modify the status of a product and perform quality control.

Defines the sampling mode.

None: Sampling is not planned.

Single: A single sample is controlled.

The general control level for the product. The AFNOR (French Standardization Association) standard defines 3 control levels. Level 2 is the recommended AFNOR standard and is the regular level delivered by Sage.

The Acceptable Quality Level (AQL).

When entering a sampling, the Sample section returns the size of the rejection and the approval limit according to the quantity entered and the size of the sample.

The AQL is calculated according to 2 criteria:

• The size of the sample, from the number of parts from the initial lot associated with the general level of approval, which indicated the sampling code.
• The setups for approval and rejection of a lot. The value of the AQL.

To determine the AQL, see the documentation including the calculation tables.

The sampling target.

Global: The grouping is by product.

Lot: The grouping is by product and lot.

The Federal state or region where the product was originally manufactured.

This field is subject to the DEBR activity code. The possible values contained in the 80—State/Region miscellaneous table are filtered based on the legislation of the site.
This information, only required for specific legislations, is used when extracting the data used to draw up the Intrastat declaration.
When it is not entered, the information entered for the Product is used, if it’s linked to the same legislation as the document being extracted.

The default value from the product category.

The value is controlled by the legislation and site groupings. You can modify it. It’s used when generating new bill of lading detail lines.

The default value from the product category.

The value is controlled by the legislation and site groupings. You can modify it. It's used when generating new bill of lading detail lines.

This field is only available if the KUS—Localization USA activity code and the USABOL—Bill of Lading parameter (LOC chapter, USA group) are set to Yes.

The fixed horizon in the lead time unit is used in the Master Production Schedule (MPS) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) calculations. It can be used to freeze the production plan on a given period. The suggestions used to cover the shortages located within the horizon are transferred to the first period beyond the horizon.

The request horizon, expressed in the number of days.

The request horizon is used to calculate projected stock. The available stock is calculated using the customer order book below this horizon. Forecasts are calculated above this horizon.

The loss percentage corresponds to the production or storage loss.

The production loss corresponds to the totaled loss generated for each routing operation.

This percentage is included in the Material Requirements Planning calculations and in work order management. It's used to calculate the quantity to be reordered to obtain the quantity to cover the requirement.

The reordering mode.

Not managed: No reorder management

By MRP: Reordering is calculated by the MRP requirements

By MPS: Reordering is calculated by the MPS

By ROP: Reorder on threshold

By period: Reorder by periodic replenishment

The reorder policy used for the calculation mode of suggestions in the MRP calculations:

• Considering stock and stock under control
• Triggering suggestions
• Quantity calculations
• Splitting the calculated quantity

Coverage is an MRP parameter. If you need to define coverage, you need to express it in weeks.

With coverage expressed, you can work with changeable security and reorder lots depending on the order book or on the forecasts recorded during the coverage period.

The suggestion type is used when running Material Requirements Planning. It’s used to define if the product needs to be subject to:

• Intersite: a transfer
• Purchase
• Manufacturing: a production suggestion
• Subcontracting: a subcontract suggestion
• No suggestion

If the suggestion is an Intersite type, the reorder site needs to be specified in the Reorder site field (REFCY).

The supplier site from which a replenishment needs to be carried out for an Intersite type suggestion. The intersite suggestion is mirrored by a requirement at the replenishment site.

The security stock used in the Material Requirements Planning calculations.

It's additional stock implemented to be able to meet a longer deadline to obtain stock or a request for more than an average request.

The minimum stock level.

The reorder threshold is used with on order stock management. It's the stock level from which a reordering or a work order is triggered. It's generally equal to the total consumption during the reorder time to which security stock is added.

The maximum stock level.

The maximum stock is used in the reorder calculations.

The minimum reorder quantity

The minimum reorder quantity is used in the Material Requirements Planning calculations according to the selected reorder policy. It’s submitted as the calculation quantity in the cost calculations. It represents:

• An economical production quantity
• A minimum order quantity imposed by a supplier

The lot or batch size.

The lot size is used in the Material Requirements Planning calculations. According to the reorder policy, the lot size lets you perform the following actions:

• Split a global suggestion into several lots. Manufacturing constraints could be a container or pallet size.

• Round up the requirement to the minimum quantity when the lot size is fixed. Purchasing constraints could be boxes of a specific number of units. For example:

  • Production suggestion of 500 units: to be divided into 5 suggestions of 100 units
  • Purchasing suggestion of 52 units with a lot size of 12: 60 units need to be ordered

Indicates if available physical stock of the product needs to be allocated to meet demand for a project.

The number of days corresponding to the production lead-time for a finished or semi-finished product.

It's generally fixed for a given lot size and is used to calculate the start date for the MRP suggestions.

The declining conversion factor as a percentage of the reorder lead time is used to calculate the start date of the MRP suggestions. It’s used to correct the reorder lead time in proportion to the replenishment when the planned or suggested quantity is greater than a lot:

Corrected lead time = RL * [1 + (qty/lot - 1) * factor / 100], where RL = reorder lead time.

This conversion factor is generally used for manufactured products. The supplier lead time is an average lead time that's not usually in proportion with the lot size.

The quality control lead-time, in days.

It’s used in the MRP calculations. It’s inserted between the requirement date and the suggestion end date to include the time needed for quality control.

The total reorder lead time for the product, in days.

It's the cumulative lead time of all BOM levels, including the quality control lead times. This field can be entered. It's only for information purposes.

The number of days corresponding to the following:

• The reorder lead time for a purchased product
• The production lead time for a finished or semi-finished product

In general, it's fixed for a given lot size and is used to calculate the start date for the MRP suggestions.

The number of working days delay applicable for inventory control purposes.

It's the number of days before the product can be used, such as in a manufactured product, a purchase, or before it can be shipped for a sale.

The assignment rule creates a link between a requirement such as a sales order or material requirement and a resource such as a work order or purchase order. It specifies the link to create.

If the Direct order (1 to 1) mode checkbox is selected, the system will authorize the assignment of a sales order to a purchase order, for instance, but not the assignment of a sales order to several purchase orders because it needs to be 1 to 1. This rule is applied during order update or creation.

If you do not specify a rule, the rule specified in the DEFPTO—Assignment rule MTO parameter (STO chapter, SCH group) applies by default in the Automatic assignment, Automatic deassignment, and WIP resynchronization functions.

Deactivates the replanning of orders in process for the product.

• Work order: is in process if at least 1 production tracking exists
• Purchase order: is in process if partially received

In-transit stock corresponds to the stock total which is not yet received at the current site from an intersite transfer.

Select the Magnifying glass icon to open the In-transit stock inquiry.

Transferred stock corresponds to the stock total sent from the current site to a different site which is not yet received at the ship-to site.

Select the Magnifying glass icon to open the Transferred stock inquiry.

Date of last issue entered in stock.

The security stock used in the Material Requirements Planning calculations.

It's additional stock implemented to be able to meet a longer deadline to obtain stock or a request for more than an average request.

The minimum stock level.

The reorder threshold is used with on order stock management. It's the stock level from which a reordering or a work order is triggered. It's generally equal to the total consumption during the reorder time to which security stock is added.

The maximum stock level.

The maximum stock is used in the reorder calculations.

The minimum reorder quantity

The minimum reorder quantity is used in the Material Requirements Planning calculations according to the selected reorder policy. It’s submitted as the calculation quantity in the cost calculations. It represents:

• An economical production quantity
• A minimum order quantity imposed by a supplier

Indicates if a safety stock recalculation previously carried out needs to be used as the basis of the reorder calculation.

Formula: Security stock = K * sigma * lead time

Where:

• K = given coefficient according to the service rate associated with the ABC class if consumption uses a standard law.
• sigma = standard deviation of the average daily consumption - monthly standard deviation/root (number of days).
• lead time = purchase lead time or production lead time. The calculation is only carried out if there's a minimum history available. The number of months in the history is limited to the maximum number or months defined (the most recent months).

Indicates that a preliminary recalculation of the replenishment threshold needs to be used as the calculation basis.

Formula: Replenishment threshold = Average consumption during the reorder lead-time + security stock (according to parameters).

The calculation is only carried out if there's a minimum history available. The number of months in the history is limited to the maximum number or months defined (the most recent months).

Indicates that a safety stock recalculation previously carried out needs to be used as the basis of the reorder calculation.

Formula: Average consumption / day * (reorder lead time + reorder time)

The calculation is only carried out if there's a minimum history available. The number of months in the history is limited to the maximum number or months defined (the most recent months).

Indicates if a preliminary recalculation of the replenishment economic quantity needs to be used at the calculation basis.

Formula (WILSON): Q = root of (24 * R * Oc) / (Sc * Pc)

Where:

• R = Average monthly request.
• Oc = Order placing cost.
• Sc = Stock handling cost.
• Pc = Product cost.

The calculation is only carried out if there's a minimum history available. The number of months in the history is limited to the maximum number or months defined (the most recent months).

The percentage threshold to apply to automatically close materials during production tracking.

For example, if the value is 95% and the material requirement is 200 units, the system will suggest closing the material if the consumed quantity is greater than or equal to 190 units.

The percentage used to calculate the weight variance.

You can only modify this field if the Setup level is set to BOM.

If the Setup level is SHI record or Product-site, this value is based on the product-site record (GESITF).

The permitted "below weight" tolerance percentage for this component.

The valuation method to apply to stock transactions or movements. The default value is defined for the valuation method specified at product category level.

For more information on stock valuation, see the related documentation: Basic principles for the valuation of the stocks.

The percentage of the quantity below which the adjusted amount will be distributed in 2 parts: remaining stock and the stock already issued.

This percentage is compared with the physical stock remaining and the global stock quantity produced by a work order. It's used to distribute the adjusted price amounts to the appropriate accounts.

If this field is deactivated, the distribution is made without considering this limit.

The overhead code.

Overhead codes are used as follows:

• To value selected stock movement types. The column that defines the formula or fixed rate to be used for the calculation is defined by the OVECOLSTK—Stock overhead column parameter (STO chapter, VAL group).

• To determine the cost price or the production cost price calculation. Selected functions use the overhead code for the following:

  • To value work center overheads associated with the valuation dimension.
  • To value overheads for materials or semi-finished products.

The overheads column that contains the formula or fixed rate to be used in the cost price calculation functions is defined by parameters. For standard cost calculations the OVECOLSTD—Standard calc overhead column parameter (GPA chapter, COS group) applies.

You can modify the column to be applied before running the calculation.

The calculation type.

Total: The overhead calculation for the manufactured product does not include the overhead amount for the lower-level products.

Cascade: The overhead calculation for the manufactured product includes the overhead amount for the lower-level products.

The cost update indicator for each type:

Entered: The cost calculation does not modify the data entered for this type of cost, and it is not passed on to the lower levels of the BOM.

Calculated: The existing entered or calculated cost will be overwritten by the next calculation run. The corresponding column can still be entered.

Select to enter the landed costs for each product-supplier linked to the site.

You can also enter the landed costs by site from the Suppliers tab in the Product record or directly from the Landed costs-site function (GESSTCITF).

The purchase cost of the line. This field is not available for entry. It’s updated:

• With every receipt
• With every validation of a purchase invoice linked to a receipt or purchase order

The following invoices are not considered:

• Direct invoices
• Credit memos
• Additional invoices
• Invoices without a quantity, related to a purchase order or a receipt.

Example:

• Invoice with a quantity of 10 and a price of €11. The last purchase price is €11.
• Credit memo with a quantity of 1 and a price of €4. The last purchase price is still €11.
• New invoice with a quantity of 1 and a price of €5. The last purchase price is €5.

For products in a cyclical count, the number of products of each class to be counted in stock is suggested based on the following:

• The number of completed counts
• The number of annual counts planned (as defined in the Stock parameters, Stock count parameters tab)
• The stock count date

You need to either confirm this number or enter a different value. After the stock count lists are generated, the system updates the number of counts selected. It considers the count number requested for each class and any product filters added.

The table that declares each supplier for the product-site.

Add the associated code or select Select supplier-product from the Actions icon to select the code from the list of referenced products-suppliers.

You then add the product-site management details for the supplier. In creation mode, fields inherit the setup defined for the products-supplier.

The table provides key supplier information for the product-site at a glance, such as the priority level for each supplier, which is the default supplier and back-to-back order supplier. You can also see which suppliers are blocked or are back-to-back order suppliers.

In the supply plans and in purchase entry documents, the ITMBPSFCY—Supplier-site referencing parameter (ACH chapter, REF group) controls references to the product-site for the supplier.

For the supply plans and purchase document entry, defines if the supplier:

• Is subject to any control actions
• Is subject to any blocking actions
• Has been issued a warning

Indicates if this supplier is a default supplier for the product at this site.

When entering the supply plans and purchase entry transactions, the supplier priority level is cross-referenced with the blocking level to determine the default supplier for the product.

• The default supplier is defined as the supplier that's not "blocked" and that has the highest priority level (zero level).
• If 2 suppliers that are not blocked have the same priority level, the default supplier is determined alphabetically by supplier code.
• If only 1 supplier has the highest priority level but is blocked, the default supplier is a supplier with a lower priority level that's not blocked.

Indicates if this supplier is a default back-to-back order supplier for the product at this site.

When generating a back-to-back purchase order and during bulk generation of back-to-back orders, the supplier priority level is cross-referenced with the blocking level to determine the default back-to-back order supplier for the product.

• The default supplier is defined as the back-to-back order supplier hat is not "blocked" and that has the highest priority level (zero level).
• If 2 back-to-back order suppliers that are not blocked have the same priority level, the default supplier is determined alphabetically by supplier code.
• If only 1 back-to-back order supplier has the highest priority level but is blocked, the default supplier is a supplier with a lower priority level that's not blocked.

For the transactions:

• The default back-to-back order supplier is the supplier defined at the product-supplier level if no supplier has been defined on the products-sites record, or the supplier is "blocked".
• If no default supplier has been defined on the products-sites record, the default back-to-back supplier is not selected.

Specifies the rule for the supply plans and purchase transactions.

No: The supplier is not subject to any controls.

Warning: The supplier is blocked. It will not be submitted as the default supplier and cannot be manually selected.

Hold: The supplier is suspended. It can still be submitted as the default supplier. Manually selecting this supplier will display a warning message.

The priority level assigned to the supplier. The closer to zero the value, the greater the priority that's given to the supplier. A zero value represents the maximum priority.

This information is used to sort suppliers in some selection windows. Cross-referencing the priority level with the blocking level used for the product-site-supplier combination also helps identify the default supplier to be suggested in some functions.

Indicates if this is a potential supplier for the back-to-back order.

The management of landed costs makes it possible to quantify the routing costs of the goods ordered from a supplier and to allocate them to the products upon order, receipt, or invoice. These costs are used for the calculation of the purchase cost and stock cost.

The evaluation of these costs can be performed according to one of the following methods:

• Global method in which a Landed cost coefficient is applied and/or a Fixed cost per unit is considered
• A method in which a set of costs detailed in a cost structure is considered

Only one method can be used. The choice of method is performed at the product management level.

Use this field to enter a conversion factor to be included in the calculation of the purchase cost and stock cost. This value needs to be greater than 1.

You can add these values directly in the Suppliers section in the Products function (GESITM). You can also add these values by selecting the Landed costs-supplier-site icon or using the Landed costs-site function (GESSTCITF).
