This module quickly replaces an existing component on a single or multiple SYSPRO Jobs with a suitable alternative component.

This is typically used when a factory component can easily be replaced without compromising the end result of the Job. Replacing a component might be required due to QTY or quality problems that prevent using the original component. It 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.

  • To replace a stock code for all eligible unconfirmed SYSPRO Jobs, start by entering the existing stock code in the Current Stock Code field.

  • If you tab off the field, the Description for that stock code will load automatically.

  • Enter the replacement stock code in the Replacement Stock Code field.

  • Select the Query Jobs button. This will load all the unconfirmed SYSPRO Jobs in the data grid with the Current Stock Code that must be replaced. 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.

  • All tick boxes under the Process column will be ticked by default. If you scroll to the right-hand side of the screen, you can deselect any Job whose stock code must not be replaced or select the Select All or Deselect All buttons.

  • After you have selected the correct Jobs whose stock codes must be replaced, select the Start Processing button. 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.

  • Once processing is completed, the Job will disappear from the data grid, and the current stock code will be replaced with the replacement stock code.

SPECIAL FEATURES

  • Some rules, however, do apply to follow this process:

    • This module does not allow editing QTYs; only the stock code can be changed. It also does not affect the parent component's Bill of Material (BOM) but only the individual stock code allocations on the Job.

    • The module only displays and allows edits to Unconfirmed SYSPRO Jobs.

    • The standard SYSPRO validations apply; therefore, stock codes cannot be replaced on Jobs if the stock code line is complete or if the warehouse record of the original line does not exist against the new stock code replacement.

  • If you know the date by when the unavailable product will be available again, you can sort the data grid by JobStartDate and only select the applicable jobs prior to that date.

TECHNICAL

  • To indicate whether the unavailable raw material (stock code) can be replaced with ONLY alternative raw material (stock code) or with any other material (stock code) a System Setting must be configured. From the Ribbon bar, browse to Settings / System Settings and locate the PICKING_JOB_ALLOCATION System Setting. Locate the REPLACE_STOCK_OPTIONS SettingName and ensure the SettingValue is = Alternative. If this is set to All then any other material (stock code) can be used as the replacement material.
