POC-0010 - Adjust model purchase order

A purchase order is created for one or more models. When the model lines are created, component lines per purchase order line are written based on the bills of materials stored on the model. Only the components from the bills of materials that are to be provided to the vendor are taken into account. Quantities in the model lines can be changed at any time. The component lines can then be added, deleted, or changed. It is possible to copy one component to all SKUs of the model. In the component lines, the quantities of the respective bill of materials are specified per component.

POC-0020 - Determine component demand

A demand per component is calculated for the models entered in a purchase order. This is done via the “Order Proposal” document with the calculation type “Components”. The order proposal calculates the quantities to be ordered per component, which then have to be provided to the producer so that the producer can manufacture the corresponding models. A distinction is made between the base unit and the procurement unit on the item. These units are converted by the system in the order proposal.

POC-0030 - Create component provisioning

Using component provisioning, selected components can be provided to the vendor. A separate location is created for each vendor to which the components are transferred. The quantities to be transferred and the quantities to be provided result from the demand and the producer’s available inventory. The transfer increases the producer’s inventory. Provisioning reserves the corresponding quantity for a specific production order. Quantities to be transferred can be increased manually. A distinction is made here between the base unit and the provisioning unit, so that different units of measure can be provided to the vendor (example: packs of 10 for buttons).

POC-0040 - Complete component provisioning

The component provisioning is registered. If transfers are to be carried out, a corresponding transfer is created automatically. A goods issue can be created for this, which can then be used for picking. The component lines on the purchase order are updated with the provided quantity. A distinction is made here between the base unit and the provisioning unit, so that different units of measure can be provided to the vendor (example: packs of 10 for buttons).

POC-0050 - Post model goods receipt

A goods receipt is created for the ordered model. This corresponds to the standard WEG - goods receipt process. In the background, the components are deducted from the vendor location (based on the goods receipt quantity) with the business posting group assigned from the POC setup. The quantity fields in the purchase order component lines are updated accordingly.

Classification

The process describes the provisioning of components to a producer. It connects model-based purchase orders, component-based demand determination, inventory transfers, and the later goods receipt of the model.
