Due to their particularities, the differences between methods of queuing resources affect the way of executing stages of the consignment process.
In the case of FIFO/LIFO queuing methods:
the system does not take into account documents which have already been added by means of another CSR (both confirmed and unconfirmed), SOR documents which have been corrected in full and WM- associated with SORQC.
Purchase invoice, receipt corrections and update of purchase value for FIFO/LIFO method
A purchase invoice for consignment items, received in a warehouse by means of a POR, is not generated directly from this POR but from a CSR document issued to a vendor from whom we have received the item. A vendor, after receiving the CSR, generates a PI, whose counterpart at the customer’s will be a purchase invoice.
Generating a PI
In order to generate a PI to a CSR, a user should check appropriate documents in the CSR list and click on button [PI] available in the main menu in the group of buttons Generation.
A purchase invoice can be generated to a confirmed CSR only. Otherwise, the generation button is grayed out.
In the generated PI, the vendor and secondary vendor will be a customer/vendor identified as the vendor in the CSR. The transaction type always takes on value National and is not editable.
Receipt correction – PORVC
When confirming a purchase invoice generated from a CSR, the comparison of prices of the items appearing in the purchase invoice with the prices in the associated POR items takes place. If quantities of individual items of the POR and PI are defined in different units, then for POR document (in consignment service, items in a PI are always defined in basic unit) the system calculates price for the basic unit according to unit conversion calculator. If the prices in the POR and PI do not agree, a value correction will be automatically generated to each POR document in which the difference in the price of items appears. Correction of value will apply to such quantity of individual items only, which is included in the CSR and thus, in the PI. In other words, a correction is generated only for such quantity of individual items which has been sold and purchase value of these very items is modified. Purchase value of the other parts of deliveries from POR documents (not included in the CSR and PI), to which a PORVC correction is generated automatically, remains unchanged.
Cost corrections and update of resource values in a warehouse
In the result of re-quoting of an item received in the consignment process which was caused by:
- confirmation of a PORVC issued to a POR before payments for a consignment item have been applied
- confirmation of a PI generated from a CSR in which prices of items on the PI are different from prices of associated items on POR – PORVC generated automatically
- confirmation of a PORVC generated to a PI created in the consignment process – PORVC generated automatically
the system generates appropriate cost corrections to documents which released a given item before re-quoting it and modifies value of the remaining quantity of that item (which has not been released “outside” with a SOR) in consignment warehouses of Customer’s type and in local warehouses, if a re-quoted item was received in a warehouse of such type.
