Regardless of whether you are setting up on the storer or item level, the processing is the same. The following shows the panel that is displayed when using Storer Attributes.
Work With Storer Attributes
In the body of the panel will be a list of any attributes that have been set for this storer.
- To change an existing value, place the "Change" option next to it and press the <Enter> key.
- To add a new attribute to the storer, press the <F6> key. In either case, the following depicts the maintenance panel that will appear.
Maintain Storer Attributes
- If you are adding a new value, you will be prompted for the Number Type that you wish to add.
- For perpetual inventory to work correctly, two number types must be set up. PERPINVCUT represents the cutoff point to indicate when a count must be taken.
- PERPINVLVL can be set to *LOT to track when a lot gets below the cut off or *LOC to track when a location is too low or *LP when an LP is too low.
- An Optional Type is MAXCCTRY. This tells the system how many tries the operator must match the quantity that the system is showing. After all tries are exhausted, a supervisor must check the count and verify that it is over or short and then unlock the operator by entering the supervisor’s User Profile and Password.
- When a "Lockout" occurs, an email is sent to anyone set up for that storer with a contact type of INVCTL.
- Key the value you wish to record for this attribute of the item.
- When you press the <Enter> key you will record the value and return to the appropriate "Work With Attributes" panel.
