This module is used to automatically convert one stock code on a TrackID to another stock code on either a new TrackID or an existing TrackID in the correct status. This is typically required when there is one product type, but it must occasionally be packaged differently. Typically, two stock codes would have been configured for each packaging type, e.g., separate single water bottles versus a case of 24 bottles. The 24 water bottles will be on one type of stock code, and the single bottle will be on another. If you break open a case of 24 bottles of water and sell it as single bottles, you must convert the one stock code type (case of 24 bottles) to the other stock code type (single bottle).

  • Enter or scan the TrackID (supplying TrackID) of the Stock code you want to convert to a new TrackID into the TrackID field.

  • Select the Stock code. It might be a multiple stock code pallet.

  • The Bin and the TrackID Qty will display on the screen automatically.

  • The Qty to Change refers to the Qty of cases (in our example, it will be the primary Stock code A100) you want to convert.

  • Enter or select the New Stock code. This will refer to all the Alternate Stock Code created in SYSPRO.

Note: It is possible to have more than one Alternate Stock Code.

  • The New Quantity will automatically update according to the Conversion Factor and the Conversion Method used when the Alternate Stock Code was created. This field is not editable; therefore, great care must be taken when setting up the Alternate Stock Codes within SYSPRO.

  • Enter the To TrackID field to place the converted stock on. This can either be an existing TrackID that is in an ACTIVE status or leave the field blank.

  • If the To TrackID field is left blank a new TrackID will be created.

  • Select Post

  • The Printer selection box will appear to print the new TrackID containing the converted stock items.

Note: These new TrackIDs will be added to a configured Bin. To see or change the Bin, select Settings / Warehouse Settings on the Ribbon Bar, and locate the System Name SCANNER_ALTERNATE_STOCK. Review or update the DEFAULT_BIN SettingName. Select Apply at the bottom of the screen if the Bin is changed.

SPECIAL FEATURES
