Enter Manufactured Inventory Part, Acquisition Data
Explanation
This procedure is one of many that you can use to complete the registration of a
manufactured inventory part. It is used to enter data about supply, lead
times, and
other related matters.
To be able to create Intrastat (within the European Union only) and customs
reports, the inventory part must be associated with a customs statistic number.
Information about net weight for each part must also have been entered. If parts under one
customs statistic number should be reported in a unit other
than that used for the actual net
weight, you can enter a conversion factor.
However, all the information might not be required on all occasions. Depending on the
area of use of the inventory part, you might need to specify some values, but not all.
Prerequisites
- Depending on what information you choose to enter, the relevant corresponding basic data
must be entered, e.g., the standard name ID must have been entered as basic data in
the Part window, and the customs statistic number
and unit
of measure must have been entered as basic data for inventory.
- If a technical coordinator is to be connected to the part, he/she must be entered
in the Inventory Basic Data window, the
Technical Coordinators
tab.
- To group inventory parts with the same
requirements regarding delivery mode, delivery lead time, distance, and cost
information, a supply chain part group must have been entered in the
Inventory Basic Data window, the
Supply Chain Part Group
tab.
System Effects
Additional data about supply, lead times, and other related matters are entered.
If a shop order requisition is created, the lead time dictates the start and due
dates of the requisition.
