Database Fields: ERPx_MFSite.SiteName, ERPx_IMTransactionHeader.SiteSK

Status is used to identify where a transaction, Purchase Order, Price List, BOM, or Master File record is in its life cycle. Records start in a Status of 'New' and progress sequentially through additional statuses until they are 'Posted' or 'Closed'. The list of potential Statuses changes depending on the transaction type.  The Statuses that apply to transactions in this List View include:

New: This is the default Status for all new Transactions. While in the Status of 'New' transactions are considered open and all editable fields are open for edit, no posting or approval validations are performed, GL Dates are not assigned, and journal entries are not created. If the transaction was moved back from Approved to New, the GL Date will be assigned and a Journal Entry will exist.  

Approved: Performs all the data validations required to post the transaction and applies to all Transactions. While in the Status of 'Approved' transactions are considered open but have limited fields open for edit. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled except for the Status lookup (and any fields that are always editable), journal entries are created/updated, journal ID's are assigned to the journal entry, and blank 'GL Dates' are assigned.

Ready to Post: Runs the Approval validations and applies to all transactions. While in the Status of 'Ready to Post' transactions are considered closed and all the fields are disabled with the exception of a few fields that are always editable. If one or more validations fail, messages are provided indicating what needs to be corrected. If all the validations pass, then all the fields are disabled with the exception any fields that are always editable and updates the Transaction Status to "Posted".

 If Sales Order allocation preferences are set to either “Available Only” or “Available and On Hand” and a Sales order has been allocated prior to a user updating the Inventory “Negative Available Balances” property, it is possible to draw the lots negative.   

A message will be displayed to the user if lot balances are negative and a new transaction is created which would impact those balances positively, however the overall balances would still be negative.  For example, if the lot balance is -10 Cases and a Production transaction adds 5 Cases, the overall lot balance would still be negative. The following options are possible workarounds: 

•  Change the Production transaction's "Negative Available Balances" property to "Allowed"
•  Change the Production transaction to result in a zero or greater inventory balance.
•  Use Cycle Count feature to change inventory balance to zero or greater.

If this field is editable, the following will be enforced:

• For an item that is fixed weight and requires whole units:

  • When Units are entered: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer then the Weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units integer value.

• For an item that is fixed weight and does not require whole units:

  • When Units are entered: the Weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units value. The Units value does not have to be an integer.

• For an item that is variable weight and requires whole units:

  • When Units go from empty to a value: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer then the Weight will automatically be calculated based on the Units integer value.

  • When Units go from one value to another: the value will be rounded up to the nearest integer but the Weight will NOT be recalculated.

It is required when the 'Site', identified on the transaction header, is a warehouse lot tracked Site and is disabled when it is not. If required and blank, the message "Warehouse Lot is required for Warehouse Lot Tracked sites when Approving or Posting." will be displayed on Save of Statuses of 'Approved' or greater. This field defaults as blank and will be disabled if the 'Site' field on the transaction is not warehouse lot tracked. If enabled, this field is editable via the Mass Update Dialog while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. This field must be <= 50 characters.

The transaction will validate the Warehouse Lot based on the following:

• If the selected Site is warehouse lot tracked and allows multiple items, the transaction will allow multiple items to be coded to the same warehouse lot and will create the warehouse lot with the default item selection of 'All Items Selected'.
• If the selected Site is warehouse lot tracked and allows multiple items and the warehouse lot ID entered for an item on the transaction already exists, the transaction will verify the warehouse lot is either set to 'All Items Selected' or the specific item is selected.
• If the selected Site is warehouse lot tracked and only allows single items, the transaction will restrict multiple items from being coded to the same warehouse lot and it will create the warehouse lot for the first item code on the transaction and will prompt an error for the next item trying to save to the same warehouse lot.
• If the selected Site is warehouse lot tracked and only allows single item and the warehouse lot ID entered for an item on the transaction already exists, the transaction will verify the warehouse lot is set to the specific item that is selected.
• If the selected site is not warehouse lot tracked, no warehouse lots can be entered.

A Warehouse Lot (aka Storage Lot) is used by 3rd party distribution sites to identify a unique quantity of product they are storing. Unlike a Production Batch number that never changes, Warehouse Lots will change as product is transferred to other Sites and/or transferred into exiting Warehouse Lots within the same Site. The 'Warehouse Lot' is one of the 5 components that make up a unique Inventory Lot and it is required when entering a transaction line on a transaction for a Warehouse Lot Tracked Site.

This field can be both positive or negative. Once an item has been selected, this field will display with the number of decimals set for the 'Weight Decimals' property on the 'Properties' tab of the Item Record View. If this field is editable, the following will be enforced:

• For an item that is fixed weight and requires whole units:

  • When Weight is entered: the value will be rounded up to the nearest Weight that results in a whole Unit then the Units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value.

• For an item that is fixed weight and does not require whole units:

  • When Weight is entered: the Units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value. The Weight value does not have to result in an integer Units value. However, because the Units and Weight values round to two decimal places, if the rounded Units value produced by the weight value does not convert to equal the weight value, the weight value will automatically update to equal the converted value of the units since the item is a fixed weight item.

• For an item that is variable weight and requires whole units:

  • When Weight goes from empty to a value: the Units will automatically be calculated based on the Weight value and then be rounded to the next whole Unit. Weight will remain as the user entered Weight, per the Item's 'Weight Decimals'.
    

  • When Weight goes from one value to another: the Units will NOT be recalculated.

'Weight' and 'Weight UOM' fields will always display as the values entered by the user. However for consistency, weight that is saved using a UOM different than the 'Inventory Weight UOM' will be converted and subsequently stored in the default Inventory Weight UOM.

Database Field: ERPx_IMTransactionDetail.TransactionWeight

In some instances the Production transaction is used to enter production results in bulk, across multiple Work Orders. When this occurs, assigning the Work Order as the 'Default Work Order' on the transaction header would not work. In situations like this, the Work Order can be specifically assigned to each line item. This is a text box that is not required. This field defaults from the 'Default Work Order' field in the 'Home' tab of this Record View. This field is always editable while the transaction is in a Status of 'New'. This field must be <= 100 characters.
