This panel is accessed from every inventory contract line for which a CMI process was triggered to create an order. The title of the panel differs depending on the CMI process you are running. Click the link in the Related topics above to access links to the specific instructions per inventory contract type.
- Inventory contract
- Displays the identity of the inventory contract.
- Contract type
- Displays the inventory contract type.
- Supplier number
- For some inventory contract types the supplier is retrieved from the inventory contract header and cannot be changed. This field must be completed for the following inventory contracts types if you are running specific CMI processes:
- WCS – if you are running the External supply CMI process. If the supplier was defined on the contract header during the setup of the inventory contract, it will be defaulted here. Otherwise, enter the supplier from whom you are purchasing the goods.
- WCS – If you are running the Return to supplier CMI process. Enter the supplier to whom you are returning the goods (i.e. that you want to take back the goods and be the owner).
- Customer number
- For some inventory contract types the customer is retrieved from the inventory contract header and cannot be changed. This field must be completed for the following inventory contracts types if you are running specific CMI processes:
- WCS – If you are running the Internal supply CMI process to move goods from one of your internally owned warehouses set up in your system (either a normal or a trade warehouse) to supply your logical WCS-warehouse (set up in your system). If the internal customer/supplier information for the logical WCS-warehouse has been set up in the system, the Customer number (i.e. the internal customer) for the logical WCS-warehouse (i.e. the “To” warehouse) is defaulted.
- WDS – If you are running the Transfer in-house CMI process to move the goods from the supplier’s warehouse site (that is set up in your system for this inventory contract type) to one of your own warehouse sites (either a normal or trade warehouse that is set up in your system). If the internal customer/supplier information for the Logical (Trade) warehouse or Normal warehouse has been set up in the system, the Customer number (i.e. the internal customer) for the Logical (Trade) warehouse or Normal warehouse (i.e. the “To” warehouse) is defaulted.
- Handler
- Displays the hander ID on the inventory contract. Leave as is or change to that applicable.
- Maintain new order
- Set this field to YES if you want to maintain the new order that is created from this inventory contract after creation.
- Dispatch date
- Displays the dispatch date to be used on sales orders created from this panel.
- Order type
- Displays the order type associated with the inventory contract, but can be changed. If you are overriding the defaulted order type, the entered order type must be valid for the type of inventory contract.
- Warehouse
- This field must be completed for the following inventory contracts types if you are running specific CMI processes:
- CDS – If you are running the Supply deposit CMI process to create a sales order. Enter the logical (Trade) warehouse from where the goods will be moved.
- CDS – If you are running the Re-purchase CMI process to create a (credit) sales order. Enter the logical (Trade) warehouse into which you will receive the goods.
- SCS – If you are running the Ownership takeover CMI process to take over a quantity instead of it being owned by the supplier. Enter the warehouse for an internally owned logical (Trade) warehouse that is linked to the same physical warehouse in which the goods are stored.
- Logistic SCS – If you are running the Ownership takeover CMI process to take over a quantity instead of it being owned by the supplier. Enter the warehouse for an internally owned logical (Trade) warehouse that is linked to the same physical warehouse in which the goods are stored.
- WCS – If you are running the Internal supply CMI process to move goods from one of your internally owned warehouses set up in your system (either a normal or a trade warehouse) to supply your logical WCS-warehouse (set up in your system). The From warehouse can be defaulted if you have an internal supplier defined on the contract header and if this supplier has a warehouse defined on the Supplier file panel. Otherwise enter the From warehouse (in your system) from which you want to move the goods to the “To” warehouse (i.e. the logical WCS-warehouse in your system).
- WCS – If you are running the Transfer in-house CMI process to move the goods from the customer’s warehouse site to your own warehouse site. Enter the To warehouse where you want to move the goods (must be either a normal or trade warehouse). If the internal customer/supplier information for the WCS-warehouse has been set up in the system, the Customer number (i.e. the internal customer) for the WCS-warehouse (i.e. the “To” warehouse) is defaulted.
- WDS – If you are running the Transfer in-house CMI process to move the goods from the supplier’s warehouse site (that is set up in your system for this inventory contract type) to one of your own warehouse sites (either a normal or trade warehouse that is set up in your system). Enter the To warehouse where you want to move the goods (must be either a normal or trade warehouse).
- WBS – If you are running the Purchase CMI process to use the promised buffer for your own replenishment. Enter the WBS-warehouse.
- New invent contract
- This field is only displayed for the following inventory contract types and must be completed when you are running specific CMI processes:
- WBS – If you are running the Ownership takeover CMI process to purchase the promised buffer (or a part of the buffer), but keep the goods physically located (externally) at the supplier’s warehouse site. Goods that you own that are located at the supplier’s warehouse require an inventory contract of type WDS. (An existing WDS-contract for the same supplier as on the WBS-contract must exist). Enter the WDS inventory contract denoting the WDS-contract to which the quantity will be transferred.
- WBS – If you are running the Transfer to consignment CMI process to move the promised buffer that the supplier owns to your own warehouse site to sell on consignment. Goods that the supplier owns that are located at your warehouse require an inventory contract of type SCS. (An existing SCS-contract for the same supplier as on the WBS inventory contract must exist). Enter the SCS inventory contract denoting the SCS-contract to which the quantity will be transferred.
- DIS – If you are running the Ownership takeover CMI process to take over the ownership of a quantity instead of it being owned by the supplier. Goods that you own that are physically located at the customer’s warehouse require an inventory contract of type WCS. (An existing WCS-contract for the same customer as on the DIS-contract must exist). Enter the WCS-contract denoting the WCS inventory contract to which the quantity will be transferred.
- Line
- This column lists the line number for the inventory contract.
- Item
- This column lists the item for the order line that will be created.
- Warehouse
- This column lists the warehouse that is connected to the inventory contract.
- Quantity
- This column displays the available quantity from the inventory contract line. Leave as is or reduce it to that applicable, but note the following:
- If the CMI-MULT (CMI – Multiple reception) function is not activated in the Function control file, and you are initializing an inventory contract line for a CDS-, SCS-, Logistic SCS-, WCS-, or WDS-contract, a contract line can only be initialized once. If you reduce the quantity it will not be possible to initialize the remaining quantity for the same line. It is suggested that the contract quantity for the line is reduced to the same quantity that is created for the order, and that a new contract line is created for the remaining quantity.
- If that function is activated in the Function control file, and you are initializing an inventory contract line for any of the above-mentioned contracts, you can receive quantities for the same inventory contract line multiple times as long as the summarized quantity is not higher than the contract quantity limit.
- Unit
- This column lists the unit for the inventory contract line.
- Item description
- This column lists the description of the item.
