BPCS/LX Tip of the Week: Receiving to Inspection

If the item being received needs to be inspected prior to being available for use, there are two schools of thought.

The first is to receive the item to a QC hold location. The downside is the item will show up in on hand inventory.

A better method would be to do a PO receipt to inspection. Both Inv500 and Pur550 support this method. Now you have received the item without showing it in inventory. Only the PO quantity in inspection is updated. This method also allows you to create an Inspection Dispatch Report. After the QC process for the item is complete, then the transaction Receipt from Inspection to Stock is processed. That transaction then updates the PO quantity received field and the Item on hand field in inventory.

Tips: LN | Baan

This functionality allows you to copy the product structure of a customized item to a standard item.

Note: When a customized structure is copied to a standard structure, the Customized check box in the Items session (tcibd0501m000) is cleared.

Item Types:

  • Standard Items: Identified by a regular item code.

  • Segmented Items: Consist of a project code segment and an item base segment (i.e., the customized item’s item code). Segments are defined in the Item Code Segmentation session (tcibd0500m000).

Only components valid for the specified Effectivity Unit will be copied.

Copy Options:

  • Target Routing Code
    Enter the code of the standard routing to which the customized structure should be copied.

  • Copy Product Structure
    Choose whether to:

    • Copy the entire structure

    • Copy only the first level

    • Perform the copy interactively

  • Reference Date
    Only parts of the product structure valid on this date will be copied.

  • Copy E-Item Relationships
    If selected, related E-item records will be copied.

  • Copy All Components and Effectivity Statements
    If selected, unit effectivity is copied to the standard structure. You can specify the unit.
    Exceptions related to routings and operations (that meet date effectivity) are also copied.

  • Alternative Material
    If selected, alternative BOM components are included in the copy.

  • Use-Up Material
    If selected, use-up materials from BOM components are included.
