Job Receipts occur after the manufacturing process is completed and the finished product(s) is ready to be received into inventory to be sold. This screen is used to process the job
receipts of manufactured products.

Both pc-based and scanner-based screens are extensively used by manufacturing plants. In many instances, pallets of manufactured products are moved via a conveyer to a Job Receipt station. A PC with a barcode label is installed at this Job Receipt station. As each pallet passes the station, the job number is scanned (from a preprinted label handed to the factory with the job card - these are printed from the Job labeling module)
Having scanned the job, the software can be configured to stop on the quantity and ask the user to scan or enter this value. Alternatively, the quantity field can be VB scripted to look up the product’s pan size, interface with a weigh scale, or pop-up a window to ask for the pallet measurements. The result will calculate back into a quantity and enter into the field before moving one.
If you are generally posting one single full job receipt for the entire order the screen can be set to default to close the job on post and set the cost basis to 'W' - WIP costing.
If the product is lot traceable the screen can be defaulted to set the lot as the job number automatically. In some cases this lot field has been VB scripted to set the lot as the job number but with a counter at the end.
The screen then typically expects a user to click the "allocate" button to allocate the receipt quantity out over a number of pallets. However, the screen can be configured to always set each separate receipt as a single pallet, in this case the screen flows very quickly and smoothly.
In the case where a product is set as inspection required in SYSPRO the allocation screen changes and allows for the parent stock code to be receipted as well as for a by-product to be receipted. This is useful in some manufacturing plants such as a mill where the main parent is made but toward the end of the run a by product is generated.
If the advanced quality module is used inspection items can be placed on HOLD automatically and a sample label can be printed. This sample label is then applied to a small sample of the product and set to the lab for analysis.
Kit issuing - the module has a pop up window for kit issuing of key components. This reduces the stock on hand in SYSPRO and the DATASCOPE WIP bin locations. Most companies use the picking process to pick and issue components to the job and only a couple of products are left as kit issues items - such as water or small screws etc. In this case the software can be set to automatically kit issue these components on each receipt in the background. These automated kit issues reduce the SYSPRO stock from a floor stock bin, but do not consume the DATASCOPE WMS stock.
This is a highly configurable screen with various receipt options.
