When generating documents:
- POR/PI from PO documents list
- POR from PI documents list
- PI from POR documents list
- POR from PI documents list
- PI from POR documents list
- WM- from POR/IR+ documents list
in generated documents, the system creates packs as in the source document and assigns to them appropriate items generated on the basis of source items.
In the case of partial generation, quantities for individual packs in generated documents might be minor than in the source document.
Parameters of generated packs are filled in basing on the parameters of source packs, except for the pack status, which is set in accordance with performed action and status assigned to it.
It is also possible to generate PI, POR and WM- directly for selected packs of PO/PI/POR/IR+ documents. Such generation includes:
- unprocessed PO items – in case of generating PI or POR from a pack in PO
- subitems of PI/POR to which POR/PI has not been yet generated – in case of generating POR from pack in PI or PI from a pack in POR
- subitems from POR/IR+ for which free resources are available – in case of generating WM- from a pack in POR or IR+
The difference is that from the abovementioned items are selected only those which refer to items making part of indicated packs.
Parameters of the header of a POR/PI generated on the basis of an indicated pack and its items are set in the same way as in case of standard generating. When generating a WM- from POR/IR+ both from list of documents and from indicated packs, only a source warehouse and the employee handling the transaction are retrieved from the source document. Target warehouse is set in accordance with the warehouse chosen by the operator during the generation.
Additionally:
- if generation of a PI/POR is started for several packs from different warehouses, as many POR documents will be created as the number of warehouses on packs
- if for a PI document has been checked parameter Operations on a single warehouse, as many documents will be created as the number of warehouses indicated on packs
- in case of generating WM-, if there are packs indicated in POR/IR+, the system asks the user, whether to generate separate WM- documents for the packs
- it is not possible do add packs to a PI generated from consignment
In a POR/PI document generated from a PI/POR it is possible to modify in any way e.g. code, weight, capacity, type and content of packs (except for addition of items). An operator can create new packs basing on existing items and delete them. The editing scope of a pack item is the same as the editing scope of standard items of POR/PI documents generated from PI/POR.
In the case of WM- documents generated from POR/IR+, an operator can fully modify packs, including the possibility of adding new items to them.
During generation, both from the level of list of documents and from the level of indicated packs, an association between the source pack and generated pack is created. Thanks to this association, it is possible to follow the chronology of a given pack. Tracking pack chronology is available from the level of pack monitor (Purchase → Warehouse → Pack Monitor).
