Processing Details
From the "Inbound Processing" menu take the option to "Work With Tallys". Locate the tally that you are researching, place the "Details" option next to it, and press the <Enter> key. Locate the line of the tally that you wish to research, place the "Hdl Inquiry" option next to it and press the <Enter> key. The following panel will be displayed.
At the top of the panel, you will see the tally number, line sequence number, item code, and lot codes. These are displayed to confirm that you are viewing information about the correct line.
The handling minimum is the minimum amount of money that will be charged for handling an item. The minimum is determined from the item master record based upon the type of handling rate that is being applied. If no item minimum was specified, the storer warehouse receipt item minimum is used.
The quantity received is the actual quantity of the item that was received for the line. This considers any overage or shortage that was noted on the put-away processing panel. Next to the quantity is the unit identification code. This will be the inventory unit for the item. Below this is the quantity per pallet if the information is available at the item level. This is typically derived by multiplying the cases per tier times the tiers per pallet. It can alternately be taken from the unit conversion multiplier, if one of the item's units of measure is "PL" for pallets.
The gross weight is the calculated gross weight of the quantity received based upon the information in the item master record or the override gross weight if an override was specified during receiving. The cubes (cubic feet) are calculated by multiplying the quantity received times the cubic feet per inventory unit specified in the item master record.
The basis is the unit of measure that will be used to charge for storage as arranged by contract with this account. The basis unit and description are displayed. The rate type to apply is the rate that was specified at the header level of the warehouse receipt. The rate types that are supported are "R" - regular, "A" - alternate, and "D" - distribution.
In the lower right area of the screen is the calculation that is/was made by WDLS. It takes the basis quantity times the rate to get the result which appears in red. The rate is the item rate, if specified on the item master record, or the storer rate if the item rate is not specified. If the amount of the calculation falls below the minimum, the calculated quantity will appear with an "*" to the right of the amount. A message will display that indicates the minimum might be applied, depending on the other lines of the receipt.
The reason for the caution on the minimum is that if other lines of the receiver contain the same item or lot, their quantities will be added to this line's quantity and the rate applied before the application of the minimum. Because of this, it is possible for a minimum to be indicated on the single line display, but not applied when the receipt is processed.
