Pick/Provision/Replenishment Rules
Posting rules for Pick/Provision/Replenishment allow you to control which item, lots or serial numbers should be available for Pick, Provision or Replenishment. You can define the criteria according to which a Pick-, Provision- or Replenishment line creation or registration is allowed or prevented. The following conditions are available here:
- Expired Goods
- Item
- Lot
- Source Document
- Posted by User Group
- Posted by User ID
- Rem. Shelf Time (absolute) (Insert Condition Filter with date formula. For example <=12M)
- Rem. Shelf Time (%) (Condition Filter with operator <,>,= and number 0-100. For example <50)
- Serial No.
> [!NOTE]
> When a lot is selected, its percentage remaining shelf life is determined as follows:
Shelf life = "Expiration date - Reference date" / Expiration date formula on item card.
Example: (01.06. - 01.01) / 12M = 6M / 12 M = 1/2 = 50%
The following date is used as reference date:
- Assembly consumption: Due date
- Item availability: Work Date
- Picking: Due date
- Pos. Adjustment, Purchase: Planned Receipt date
- Pos. Adjustment, Journal: posting date
- Pos. Adjustment, Transfer: Receipt date
- Production consumption: due date
- Sales Shipment: planned delivery date
- Outgoing Transfer: Shipment date
When selecting the condition Source Document the following options will be visible:
| Source Document | Additional Options |
|---|---|
| Sales Order | Sell-to Country Code Sell-to Customer |
| Production Consumption | Manufactured Item |
| Assembly Consumption | Manufactured Item |
| Outbound Transfer | Transfer To Location Code |
It is possible to combine several conditions within a rule, that all must apply. In addition, the Priority field can be used to set the order in which your rules are checked. Rules are taken into account starting with the lowest priority, if the field Active is set.
Note
All conditions within a rule must be met for the rule to be applied. This also means, for example, that if the availability calculation is to refer to the status of lots and serial numbers, two rules must be created. One rule that refers to the lot and its status, and a second rule that is for the serial number data.
Additionally explicit exceptions can be defined using the Block Action field. To allow pick postings do not set this flag.
Setup example for an explicit exception rule
- Priority=20: For lots with the status GESPERRT and with the inventory posting group ROHMAT the picking is prevented. This is the general rule.
- Exception Priority=10: The posting of a picking with blocked lots for the article PB_30001 (with the inventory posting group ROHMAT, Master Data Setup) is explicitly permitted.
