This module allows a user to replace a component(s) on all Jobs waiting to be released to the factory floor due to a component for these Jobs that is no longer available.
Occasionally, in a manufacturing business, it can happen that a large number of Jobs cannot be released to the factory due to a key raw material that is no longer available. By using this screen, these unavailable components can then be replaced by an alternative component. This module will run through all SYSPRO Jobs not released to a pick slip and replace the unavailable component with a selected alternative component.
This ability to replace unavailable components with an alternative component can also be done on the Job Release module but only on a line-by-line level, whereby this module can do it for all Jobs waiting to be released to the factory.
This update is then completed in SYSPRO on each Job Material Allocation List.
Enter the stock code of the unavailable raw material that must be replaced in the Current Stock Code field.
The Description will load automatically. Notice that the description will indicate whether this is a Lot Traceable item by adding the word Lot Traceable after the description name.
Select the Query Jobs button. This will query all SYSPRO Jobs using the applicable raw material, where the quantity has not been issued and the quantity required is greater than zero.
The data grid will populate.
Enter the stock code (of the alternative raw material) that must replace the Current Stock Code in the Replace Stock Code field.
Select the Job line in the data gird that are affected.
Select Start Processing at the bottom of the screen. The line with the original stock code will be updated to 0 quantity required, and a new line will be written for the new stock code to the Job with the same quantity as the original stock code.
SPECIAL FEATURES
