Bulk Stock Receipts and Spillage on transfer orders

Hi list!

I'm trying to get to terms with Bulk Stock management.
I would appreciate some pointers though..

I would like to use a transfer order to move stock from on depot to another. Entering the transfer order is no problem but i wonder what would be the best way to record any spillage that has occured during the shipment.

We use transportation management for the ST (sales side of the transfer order) but do not work with "Loads" due to bugs in that functionality. We would like to receive goods against the OT (Purchase side) and record any spillage that occured during the transportation

- Is the spillage best recorded during the actual receipt or can it (should it) be recorded later. If later, what application should i use to record the spillage?

What i'm rellay looking for is some kind of "best practice" as a starting point to begin with design of the process. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Aarto,

You'll have to excuse the age of these notes...they date back a few years.

Receiving of bulk items has a pop up window for temperature/density, tank,
etc., with access to Dip Volume Calculator and the Weighbridge.

The window brings back the ambient quantity to the receiving screen. On
hand quantity, the Item Ledger, and General Ledger are updated at standard,
with the Receiver file (F4312) updated at ambient.

The system does not handle a ‘receiving gain/loss’ (until A8.1:

This is the difference between what the supplier measured as on board and
what you received into your tank. For example, suppose we ordered 1000 LT
which translates to 998 at standard. At the time of receipt we only
received 994, because 4 LT were lost in transit. As a workaround, we could
manually enter 998 in receiving, and then do a separate receiving loss
transaction in General Stock Movements to take out 4 liters.

Its possible that the A8.1 functionality is in OneWorld--I haven't tested
it. Check to see if Receipt Routing of bulk products allows receiving a
loss separately.

You can also split your receipt into two lines - one for the real volume
received into a normal tank, and one into a gain/loss tank.

Hope this helps, a bit.

Hi Andy and thanks for the reply

I don't know if it is just me not really understanding how JDE has designed the process.. Seems to me that the only way to record Gain or Loss is when performing a transfer of bulk products..

We only receive the product in to one single location. The product is never moved to another tank. There will be only one tank per each item so there would never be a transfer.

So.. record Gain/Loss when receiving goods
No can do, functionality not there as far as i can see, nor is receipts routing for bulk items possible in B733.2

Record gain/Loss during tank to tank transfers
Nope, no such transfers are performed in the customers depot..
(And Gain/Loss location can not be used as the "To" end of the transaction as it is only a logical location)

Adjust to Gain/Loss location
No can do (Logical location)

What is was looking for was some kind of "Stand alone" Gain/Loss entry but i've not been able to find anything like it.. Seems to me we might just as well adjust the qty from inventory (realizing the gain/loss amount immediatly) or create a dummy tank that is on hold..

Or maybe it's just me not quite getting it

Unfortunately, I think you've got it! Workarounds are in order. But why not
split the receipt so that your gain/loss goes into a dummy tank when you do
the receipt, and the real quantity goes to the real tank?
