Issue List
Use
You can go from the perishables planning list to an issue list for each combination of article and vendor. You can define the recipients, the quantities they are to receive and the dates on which the deliveries are to be made. If required, you can also define a number of delivery phases.
The recipients are those sites (usually stores) that are supplied by your distribution center. The articles must be listed in those sites.
Prerequisites
Before you can use this function, you must generate a perishables planning list (see
Perishables: Perishables Planning List).Features
The vendor delivers the articles to the distribution center. The products are picked for the individual recipients and sent to them in a separate step.
The system generates purchase orders and places them with the vendor on behalf of the distribution center. It also generates further purchase orders and places them with the distribution center on behalf of the recipients. If the distribution center and the recipient do not belong to the same company code, a standard purchase order is generated instead of a stock transport order.
The order quantity does not have to be the same as the total quantities you entered for the individual recipients. When picking the products, you can use stocks that are already in the distribution center. Any remaining quantity is retained at the distribution center.
The vendor delivers the articles directly to the recipients.
The system generates purchase orders and places them with the distribution center only on behalf of the recipients.
The total quantities for the individual stores must be the same as the order quantity.
This tab page includes the description, name and location of the recipient and a field for you to enter the order quantity.
This contains information from the Perishables Information System (which you can display only).
On this tab page, you can specify the dates on which the produce is to be delivered to the recipients. You can make sure, for example, that a particular article is always delivered at 8 a.m., 12 noon and 5 p.m. to ensure best possible freshness. The total quantities for the individual schedule lines must be the same as the order quantity.
If you change the order quantity on this tab page, this affects the quantities on the Recipient planning page.
This contains information on allocation tables, for example.
The content of the tab pages represent different views on the vendor/article combination selected on the initial screen together with the various information. The possible recipients (such as stores) are listed. By simply switching tab pages, you can bring to the foreground the information you currently require.
