Process the stock receipt as for Standard Products . 2. If you select (Change) on a timber product , it allows you to receipt stock by length. Type ' Yes' to the question 'Receive as Pack Stock' . 3. You are then prompted to type the pack number, pack marks and production, then receive the stock by length. Multiple packs can be received. 4. When you have completed typing the details of the 'Packs Received This delivery' screen, then select (Finished). If there is a variation from the quantity ordered you are issued with a warning. 5. You can then choose another order line to receive. Receipting Predefined, Preallocated, Timber Packs 1. A method of Pack Allocation for Purchase Orders has been provided similar to Sales Orders where predefined packs can be allocated to the Purchase Order. The existing Stock Requisitions and Customer Orders menu options have been combined in order to add the new menu option Pack Allocation. The user can only allocate packs that have been predefined and are in transit to the Purchase Order. The functionality within P/O Pack Allocations is similar to that within Sales Order Pack Allocation where a pack can only be allocated to a line that was entered as a pack. 2. Receipting allows for these allocated packs to be receipted in full. A facility has also been provided in receipting to de-allocate packs from a purchase order when the wrong pack was allocated. Pack receipting defaults to the purchase order pack details so these can be accepted as is or modified where the supplied packs differ from the order. By changing the Purchase Order pack number to a different pack number the ordered pack number from the Purchase Order is de-allocated. If the specification for the pack is not the same as the pack received the pack needs to be updated as part of pack receipting at the line level rather than performing a Receive All. When Receive All is selected the system also receives all allocated packs. Receipting Timber Packs that have not been pre-defined To create packs that are on the purchase order and allocate pack numbers to them all in one step, perform the following: 1. From the ProStix Main Menu, select 'Purchasing & Receipting' , then 'Purchase Order Processing' , then [select a Purchase Order], then select 'Pack Allocation' . 2. You are now presented with a timber pack allocation screen where you can either update the tally entries of the packs or allocate pack numbers. 3. Select to update the tallies of the packs. 4. Select to update the supplier pack numbers. Consecutive Pack details can then be entered as required by selecting at the end of each pack number entry and the system then moves to the next supplier pack number field. Once the final supplier pack number has been entered the system notifies the user that 'All packs entered' via a popup or message at the bottom of the screen, to ensure supplier pack numbers are entered for the whole order. Where the operator started part way through the list of packs or some packs still have a blank supplier pack number the message is 'This is the last pack' . Validation is in place to check that duplicate packs are not created, even in different branches, and also to check that duplicate supplier pack numbers are not entered, even if they are not used as the ProStix pack number. 5. A message is invoked upon exiting the new supplier pack number entry functionality to offer the user the option to copy the supplier pack numbers entered across to the system generated, sequential internal Pack number field. If the operator selects not to use the Supplier Pack Number; the current process of using the tailoring integer 'PackNxtNo' is used to find the next pack's number. 6. If there are any blank supplier pack numbers but otherwise there are no errors the operator is warned so that they can choose to go back and add in the missing Supplier Pack Numbers. Where the operator continues when there are packs with blank supplier pack numbers the pack number are the next available tailoring integer 'PackNxtNo' . This Allocation screen was provided because updates on the packs can be sent at different points in time so the operator can refine the details as they know them. This means that the testing and then the transfer of the Supplier Pack Number is moved to the Pack Number even after the pack has initially been created in ProStix, provided the pack is still in Transit.
