Job Return [WIP040]

Job returns are used when you want to return components that have already been issued to a job back into inventory again. This can sometimes happen when stock has been over-issued to a job or not used during the manufacturing process and must then be returned into good usable inventory for another job.

Job Returns are mainly done on the scanner-based screen; however, a pc-based version is also available.

• The pc-based Job Return screen has the same fields as the scanner-based screen

• In the Job Number field, you can enter or use the lookup icon to locate the job number.

• The Stock Code and/or Lot number, which has been issued to the Job, will display on the screen, or if more than one exists, you can select from the drop-down

• The Quantity Issued will be displayed automatically.

• The Quantity to Return must be entered

• The Reason/Notation field will allow you to select a specific Job Returns Reason Notation. If a Reason Notation was marked as the default, it will display automatically. If no Job Return Reason Notations was created, then this field will be deactivated.

• Same as the scanner-based screen, the To TrackID field has two functions.

  • If you want to return the stock code to an existing TrackID, you must scan the TrackID, which will populate the To TrackID field

  • If you want to return the stock code to a new TrackID, you must leave this field blank. The system will generate a new TrackID in the Default Bin displayed on the screen

• Select Post. This will transact the return in both SYSPRO and DATASCPOPE WMS and print a TrackID if required

SPECIAL FEATURES

• The PC-based Job Return screen has the functionality to fetch the Quantity to Return from a physical scale that has been integrated into DATASCOPE WMS. If configured correctly to a scale and the Fetch button is used, the scaled mass will be returned to the screen, and the user can edit it accordingly. If you want more information on this configuration, refer to Scale Integration.

• This module has extensive validation to ensure that you cannot return more of a product from the job than the quantity you issued in the first place.

TECHNICAL

• To activate the Reason/Notation field, there must be Reason Notations configured. To configure Reason Notations refer to Job Returns Reason Notation [WIP041]

• You must ensure the System Settings are configured correctly when printing to a physical printer. The JOBRETURNS setting under Settings / Printers on the Ribbon Bar must point to the physical printer. For more information, refer to Configure Printers
