| # Changing the configuration of the purchased configurable item In order to accommodate the customer order changes when the end item is about to be built, ERP Enterprise allows you to change the configuration of the purchased configurable item. Note You can perform the configuration changes for items that are configured using the Product Configuration module and must be a purchased configurable item. The configuration changes can be carried out with a warehousing order that has: Order Origin field set to the option Transfer (Manual). and transaction type Transfer. Transfers within a single warehouse and single company are allowed. Inbound and/or outbound inspections cannot be performed. To change the item configuration of the purchased item, do the following in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session: Specify Transfer (Manual) in the Order field. Specify the same configured item code in the From Item (From) field and the Into Item (To) field. For the desired quantity to be transferred, specify the option list ID in the outbound order line. Save the data. Create the inbound order line with the same option list ID. Note: The outbound order line remains blocked as long as the option list ID of the inbound order line is the same as the option list ID of the outbound order line. You must change the option list ID on the inbound order line to another existing option list ID. After you change the option list ID of the inbound order line, the outbound order line is unblocked. Process the outbound order line. Note: You can view the available inventory for the option list ID in the Inventory by Specification (whwmd2519m000) session. If sufficient on-hand inventory is available, outbound advice is generated and released. The details of the handling unit that is advised are specified on the outbound advice. The handling unit must have the same option list ID as specified on the outbound order line. For a handling unit with the correct item and option list ID, you can also manually enter an outbound advice . Note: ERP Enterprise confirms the receipt of the transfer automatically except for items that are lot controlled. A new handling unit is generated during the confirm receipt process. This handling unit is for the same item, but has the new Option List ID, the same that you specify for the inbound order line. After the receipt is confirmed, the inventory of the configured item is updated. The inventory on-hand for the old option list ID is reduced, and the inventory on-hand for the new option list ID is increased with the requested quantity in the Inventory by Specification (whwmd2519m000) session. Transferring a lot controlled configured item For configured items that are lot controlled, you can perform configuration change by means of an item transfer for one lot at a time. If you want item transfer for more than one lot, a transfer for each lot must be created separately. By default the Lot field of the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session is set to the Specific option. You must specify the lot information. If you change the lot selection to Same, the lot is determined during outbound advice generation/creation. By default the Lot field of the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session is set to the Specific option and the lot information is the same as that specified for the outbound order line. You can change the lot information to receive the new configuration against a different lot. If you change the lot selection to Same, one new lot is generated when the new configuration is received. The following are the possible scenario:
| Inbound
Specific | Same
Outbound | Specific | 1 | 2
Same | 3 | 4
The numeric notation in the table is explained below. Specify the details of the lot that you want to transfer on the outbound order line. Specify the details of the lot that you want to receive on the inbound order line. The transfer is executed automatically. Specify the details of the lot that you want to transfer on the outbound order line. When you receive the item, the following are the possible scenario: When automatic lot generation is defined for the warehousing order type, the lot details are generated automatically during confirm action of the receipt. The transfer is executed automatically. When automatic lot generation is not part of the warehousing order type, you must first generate the lot before you confirm the receipt. The lot that must be transferred is determined when the outbound advice is generated. Only one lot is transferred at a time. The item is received with the lot details that you specified on the inbound order line. The transfer is executed automatically. The lot that must be transferred is determined when the outbound advice is generated. Only one lot is transferred at a time. When you receive the item, the following are the possible scenario: When automatic lot generation is defined for the warehousing order type, the lot details are generated automatically during confirm receipt. The transfer is executed automatically. When automatic lot generation is not part of the warehousing order type, you must first generate the lot before you confirm the receipt. |
