Feature - Replenishments From Remote Bins and ATP Days
Updated: 12/2/21
Version: 8.5 and Above
When running Customer Order Processing-> Processing-> Print Pick/Pack Ticket & Lbls-> Print-> Minimum Transfer Requirements Report, a new option is available for the Base On Min or Reg Qty? parameter. A value of "O" can be specified. This option will calculate the minimum quantity based on items that are only available in remote bins. Remote bins are indicated by specifying a Priority Cutoff.
For example, if the "O" option is chosen with a priority cutoff of 03/03/03, only those items that are only stocked in a bin with a fixed priority greater than or equal to 03/03/03 will be selected to be transferred. If the items are stocked in both higher bins and lower bins, they will not be selected to be transferred.
If the "M" or "R" option is chosen with a priority cutoff 03/03/03 (normally, you should just enter a cutoff of ALL), then the application will suggest replenishing inventory from those bins with a fixed priority of 03/03/03 and higher, even though there are lower bins available. If the item has inventory available in lower bins but nothing available in a higher bin, the item will not be selected to be transferred.
The user also has the ability to enter the ATP Cutoff Days. This entry is used to determine which ATP records should be considered when calculating the minimum quantity that needs to be transferred. This option is applicable when the Base On Min or Reg Qty? is set to "M" or "O."
When the Base On Min or Reg Qty? is set to "M" or "O." the report will not consider ATP records for orders that have not had a picking ticket printed. If a picking ticket has not been printed, the order must not be on credit hold and the item cannot be fully backordered to be considered for inclusion on the report. Also, orders that are on a staging batch that has completed staging verification will not be included in the calculations.
Entering 0 (zero) uses a cutoff of the system date. Entering 1 (one) uses a cutoff of the system date plus one day. Entering 999 will consider all ATP transactions on file.
