Inventory status update by using Quality order

Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

I am using Quality order to update Inventory status of Batch from OnHold to Available.

When I do RAF the quality order is generated for Production order (=batch).

The problem is that I do multiple RAFs and make movements to different locations (same warehouse). The validation of quality order is able to changes inventory status just for the materials that are at same location where I do RAFs. Materials that are already moved to differ location are still OnHold status.

Is there any way / parameter that would allow me to change inventory status for whole batch, no matter the location?

Regards

Niko Hautala

RE: Inventory status update by using Quality order

Hi Nikko,

I see. Only the quantity that is reserved for the Quality Order changes its inventory status from On-Hold to Available (in your case 1 inventory unit). You probably have the Inventory Status defaulted to on-hold for all Production order or for this item specifically, so any new quantities being RAF will inherit that Inventory Status.

I would do either of the following:

1) Since you are using Batch number and you will be testing only one inventory unit for the whole batch, consider using the Batch Disposition Code rather than the Inventory Status. You will need to create values for the Batch Disposition Code and configure the Item Group for these items to be defaulted at Batch Disposition Code = on hold. Then change your Quality Test Group to have teh Batch Disposition change rather than teh inventory status. You will need to change teh Quality Association to reflect (since it already exists) but otherwise will be able to keep the same configuration. On RAF, the whole Batch will have the Batch Disposition Code = on-hold and will have a Quality Order for 1 inventory unit. If the Quality Order passes, the batch disposition code for the entire batch will switch to Available so any subsequent RAF for that batch will have the same Batch Disposition Code.

2) Change your item sampling to 100%. Since the quantity for the Quality Order covers the entire batch, the update from the Quality Order should be applied to the entire quantity.

RE: Inventory status update by using Quality order

Thanks Danny for the reply

So I do multiple RAFs for one Batch. Each RAFs gets own LicencePlate and those are moved to different locations from Production output.

The Quality order is generated from the first RAF of the Batch. There is just one Quality order per Batch and I validate it after the last RAF of the Batch. When the Quality order is validated the inventory status should be updated from OnHold to Available. This works well if all the RAF materials are at the same location where those are firstly registered (Production output).

But if I have already moved some of materials to different locations, just the RAF materials which locate on Production output are updated as Available. RAF materials in other locations have still OnHold status.

Here is picture of current sampling setting.

Quality assosiation settings:

Is there any parameter that should be set in different way?

RE: Inventory status update by using Quality order

Hi Niko, Is it possible to your Quality Sampling included the inventory dimension 'Location'?

Do you want a Quality Order for each RAF quantities or one per Batch Order? If one per Batch Order, your sampling should include 'Batch Number' if one per RAF quantity, you sampling should include 'License Plate'.

Kind regards,
