Work with quantity types (WMR02404)
This program is used to define quantity types which can then be linked to a stock category code for a location. Quantity types 1-9 are reserved for system use and cannot be deleted. However, the description and the column heading can be maintained. Quantity types 10-99 are available for user-defined purposes.
Quantity types are linked to a stock category code in Work with stock category/quantity types. When a stock category code is assigned to a warehouse location, item quantities in that location are associated with the quantity type(s) assigned to the stock category code. This allows the creation of locations that may hold items that are damaged, unsellable, in quality control, held, etc.
| Code | Description | Additional information |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Unusable | Item is not available for sales orders or pick lists, and it is not considered “On hand” for purchase suggestions, e.g. goods being prepared to be returned to a supplier. |
| 2 | Unsellable | Item is not available for sales orders or pick suggestions, but it is considered “On hand” for purchase suggestions, e.g. goods that have been returned from a customer and have to be checked before they can be available for sales or picking. |
| 3 | Unavailable | Item is not available for pick suggestions, but it is considered “On hand” for sales orders and purchase suggestions, e.g. goods that are temporarily being held unavailable in stock due to different reasons. |
| 4 | Under stock take | Item is under stock take. This quantity type is not currently used by the system. |
| 5 | In QC | Item has been received and is in quality control. When QC function is used on the receiving module, items can be put to a QC defined location. These locations are defined with a stock category that has a quantity type 5. |
| 6 | NCC usable | Item did not pass the QC and was put on a non-conformity certificate defined as usable. Item is not available for sales orders or pick suggestions, and it is not considered “On hand” for purchase suggestion. NCC usable locations are defined with a stock category that has a quantity type set to 6. |
| 7 | NCC unusable | Item did not pass the QC and was put on a non-conformity certificate defined as unusable. Item is not available for sales orders or pick suggestions, and it is not considered “On hand” for purchase suggestion. NCC unusable locations are defined with a stock category that has a quantity type set to 7. |
| 8 | Non-WM location | Items that reside in locations assigned to stock categories connected to this quantity type are not handled at all by WHM. An example of this is when using Outpicking location on consolidated pick suggestion and Loading location on shipment header, where the location must be defined with a stock category that has a quantity type set to 8. |
| 9 | Transit | If the BtB featured field is set to YES in the DIS control file, then locations in the warehouse must be defined with a stock category that has a quantity type set to 9. All quantities from Work/Purchase/Manufacturing orders that are of the transit type must be stored in a location defined as a Transit location, i.e. set to quantity type 9. |
