This screen is used to change the value of fields used in purchasing.

PLANT

Display only.  The plant specified on the function select screen.  The information entered on this screen applies only to the part number in this plant.

PART NUMBER

Display only.  The part number entered on the function select screen.  Information entered on this screen applies to this item.

MAIN BUYER CODE

Optional.  Indicates the buyer in the purchasing department responsible for the particular part.  If entered, must exist on the Reference File category 238.

PURCHASING DESCRIPTION 1

Optional.  Description of the item as it is known to the purchasing and receiving departments.  When changing this description, a check is done to see if this field has been blanked out or assigned a new value.  If left blank, the part number main description is defaulted into this field.

PURCHASING DESCRIPTION 2

Optional.  Supplementary purchasing description.

SUBSTITUTE BUYER CODE

Optional.  Indicates a secondary buyer.  If entered, must exist on the Reference File and be different from the main buyer.

PURCHASING GROUP

Optional.  Used to group items according to user-defined purchasing criteria for posting to purchase price variance accounts.  A separate account can be created for each purchasing group.

PURCHASING SUB-GROUP

Optional.  Used to group items within the same purchasing group for selective inquiry and reporting.  If entered, must exist on the Reference File (category 483) and Purchasing Group must be entered.

ITEM/VENDOR RELATIONSHIP REQUIRED FLAG

Required.  Used to indicate if an item/vendor relationship is necessary prior to placing a purchase order.  Must be either 'Y' (item/vendor relationship required) or 'N' (item/vendor relationship not required).

PO GENERATION MODE

Required.  Used to indicate if planned requisitions for the part generated in Requirements Planning or Master Scheduling may be covered by a purchase order.  Valid values are:

Y - Yes

N - No

1 - Allocation by rank mode

2 - Allocation by received quantity not accounted for

3 - Allocation by planned quantity

4 - Allocation by rank mode (The firm horizon is extended to the end of the week.)

5 - Allocation by received quantity not accounted for (The firm horizon is extended to the end of the week.)

6 - Allocation by planned quantity (The firm horizon is extended to the end of the week.)

7 - Reserved for RS VDA parts only.  Allocation by rank mode.

8 - Reserved for RS VDA parts only.  Allocation by received quantity not accounted for

9 - Reserved for RS VDA parts only.  Allocation by planned quantity

A - Reserved for RS VDA parts only.  Allocation by rank mode (The firm horizon is extended to the end of the week.)

B - Reserved for RS VDA parts only.  Allocation by received quantity not accounted for (The firm horizon is extended to the end of the week.)

C - Reserved for RS VDA parts only.  Allocation by planned quantity (The firm horizon is extended to the end of the week.)

Allocation by rank (PO generation modes 1, 4, 7, or A) is the most straightforward method and is probably the best to use for "simple" relationships with vendors.  For example, if you always purchase an item from the same vendor, allocation by rank is the most appropriate method to use.

If the value is Y, planned requisitions may be covered by purchase orders without first being released.  In addition, planned requisitions are likely to be assigned automatically to purchase orders by the vendor allocation process.

If the value is N, planned requisitions must first be released before a purchase order may cover them.

If the value is 1-9, A, B, or C, planned requisitions are likely to be assigned automatically to purchase orders by the Repetitive Supply allocation process.  (NOTE:  These allocation methods process requisitions generated by requirements planning only--not master scheduling.)

The PO Generation Mode field is validated against Reference File category G59.

DOCK-TO-STOCK LEAD TIME

Optional.  Used to indicate the lead time in days between item delivery and inventory availability.  When a due date is entered for a purchase order release, the dock date is calculated by subtracting the dock-to-stock lead time from the due date.  The dock date then becomes the vendor's delivery date on the purchase order.  Default value is 0.  Must be numeric and have two decimal places.

INSPECTION REQUIRED CODE

Optional.  Used to specify the type of inspection to be performed on the received part.  The system does not use this code to control processing.  The Receiving Type Code on the purchase order specifies whether quantity and/or quality control will be performed.  If entered, must exist on the Reference File (category 237).

PURCHASE ORDER MESSAGE CODE

Optional.  Must be defined on the Reference File (category 431).  The message associated with this message code is printed on documents as specified by the PO Message Print field.

PURCHASE ORDER MESSAGE PRINT CODE

Optional.  Must be defined on Reference File category 438.  If blank, the default value is taken from the Purchase Order Message Code record (Reference File category 431).  If entered, a Purchase Order Message Code must also be entered.
