Receipt routing and overshipment

[dikdik]

The customer i am working for wants to track the purchase receivements from the moment the goods leave the warehouse of the supplier.
So, we are using receipt routing.
When the goods arrive at our warehouse the exact numbr of items is known. In some cases there is a overshipment.

Does anybody have any suggestions ho to handle overshipments while the purchase receipt is in receipt routing.

we are working with JDE 8.0 service pack 20.

Thanks in advance.

Dirk,

What is your desired business process to handle this overship situation...

a. Pay the Supplier for the extra goods (what would be the sort of
tolerance that you would allow on this??)
b. Send the goods back to the Supplier (maybe the Supplier will give them
to you at a discounted price to save them the freight cost of returning
them)
c. Don't tell anyone and take the extras ;-] (Stock Adjustment)

As you are aware the Movement & Disposition program does not cater for
overships, so if your business process is (a) you would need to create a
P.O line to receive these goods. You could probably debate that since P.O
Receipts can allow overshipment then Movement & Disposition probably should
as well, however as it doesn't (and the mods required to manage the
quantity differences in the Routing file and Values in the G/L would be
heavy) it is probably worth your while to push (b) or (c) as the approach
to take.

Regards,

Potsy

Craig,

Thanks very much for your quick answer.
Your described business process under a) is the right one. We do have to pay for the goods.

Creating a new P.O. line is exactly what we thought. I was hoping for a less time-taking solution. But unfortunately.....

Thanks very much!!

Dirk

If you want to prevent over recieving, set your tolerances to prevent over recieving (ie. no more than the purchase order quantity or percentage).
