Need advise folks, is anyone an expert in / does anyone use Outside Service Receipt Entry?
(and know how to set up the E/M to enable Outside Service Receipt Entry transactions to be performed please?)
Currently our Sub Con WO's have a Sub Con PO linked to the SC Service, which links the WO to the PO.
I was in a Test Database trying to use Outside Service Receipt Entry to record Received (good) AND Received (deviated) parts.*
(So that they then appear in the Good Recv Qty and Bad Recv Qty Columns of the Work Order Service Dispatches and Receipts Screen.
I was trying to identify whether, once you've entered Received (Bad) transactions, they can then either be:
- Outside Service Receipt/Rtn'd (I.E. Reversed), if the "Bad" parts are returned for Rework to the Sub contractor (if this is possible) or
- the Received (Bad) Outside Service Receipt Transaction could be edited to Received(good) if the Parts were inspected here and deemed good / given a concession / Reworked by us or
- the WO (And hence PO) could be cut back and closed short if the Received (bad) parts were scrapped.)
HOWEVER. when I tried to use Outside Service Receipt Entry, I get the error Message:
"This service is linked to a purchase order; you must receive it through Purchase Receipt Entry"
How can I tie in a Po to the Sub Con WO to record purchase of the Subcontractor's Services without linking the PO to the WO?
Purchase Receipt Entry only has a "Quantity Received" Field, and a "Recv to Inspect" Check box.
I take it EITHER method of Receipting will still also require a WO Receipt (at some point - the Sub Con Operation isn't necessarily the Last Operation to be performed on a WO).
How does Received (deviated) work from a Stock control point of view?
Until Parts are Receipted into the WO, they cannot be assigned a Warehouse Location.
But say if the parts are not inspected immediately?
Surely you cannot WO Receipt (and hence Assign a location) until you've inspected an Outside Service Receipt?
From a Stock Control (and audit trail) point of view, this seems undesirable, does anyone have a workaround for this?
Didn't find much explaining the difference in the Visual Purchasing Or Manufacturing PDF's...
Many thanks
