This screen is used to select a maintenance function for the Part Master.
PLANT
Required. Used to identify the plant in which maintenance/inquiry will be done. The plant must be valid, and you must be authorized to the manufacturing company/warehouse associated with the plant (Reference File category 409). Defaults to the plant assigned to your user ID, but may be changed through command key 17. Each different maintenance option may also be controlled for update through Reference File category 420.
PART NUMBER
Required. The part number is a unique identification associated with manufactured, assembled, purchased or reference items. The part number must not be blanks or all nines. For an Addition or New Part Setup, the part number must not already exist; for any other maintenance option, the part number must exist on the part master.
MAINTENANCE CODE
Required. If you have authorization to a particular function, the maintenance code allows you to select that function to perform for the specified part.
Options 1 and 2 provide you with two methods for defining a new part. Option 1 (New Part Setup) allows you to define all attributes of the item -- description, distribution, inventory control, planning, productivity and cost information -- by paging through a series of screens. Option 2 (Addition) allows you to add a new part by entering the description fields only. If the part exists in another plant, the following description fields of the new part will default to those values of the already existing part:
Part Description
Stockkeeping UM
SU/SKU Factor
Selling UM
PU/SKU Factor
Purchasing UM
These six description fields are maintained across plants, and can be changed only through option 3. All other data is defaulted, but can be modified later using the options 3-9, as described below.
Options 3-9 allow you to define all attributes of the part that are related to a specific functional area, using a single screen.
Option 10 allows you to enter user-defined data.
Option 11 allows you to change the status of an inactive part to active, so that the part is eligible for use in bills of material and routings, for ordering and for recording stock movement.
Option 12 allows you to indicate to the system that the selected part is to be considered inactive. The system will not allow transactions to be performed against inactive parts. An inactive part is not actually deleted and may be reactivated at a later date. A separate purge function must be run to physically delete the part. A part may not be made inactive if:
- The part sources another plant;
- The part has active stock records (even if the stock balance is zero);
- The part is defined on a lot record;
- The part has a bill of material;
- The part is in a bill of material;
- The part has a routing;
- A manufacturing, purchase, transfer, or sales order exists for the part, as well as purchase or transfer requisitions;
- The part is used as a component in a manufacturing order;
- The part has a resource profile;
- The part has a tentative master schedule, where the due date is after the current week start date, and the proposed schedule quantity is greater than zero;
- The part has projected demand where the demand date is after the current week start date, and the demand quantity is greater than zero.
Also, when a part is created via ADDITION or NEW PART SETUP, a warehouse balance record (file IC140M) is automatically created for the part into the manufacturing company/warehouse, if the Inventory Control module is al so installed. The record is created to assist production and inventory receipt programs which require warehouse balance records into which inventory is received during initial reporting. If a part is unintentionally added, and needs to be deleted, the part can be deleted by this program ONLY if NONE of the warehouse balance quantity fields have been updated with non-zero quantities. In the case where quantities exist, the normal procedures for deleting warehouse balance and part master records then apply. If all that remains for a part are tentative schedule records with a zero quantity, or if the due date is prior to the current week start date, then the tentative schedule records are physically deleted by this program. Likewise, if all that remains for a part are projected demand records with a zero demand quantity, or if the demand date is prior to the current week start date, then the projected demand records are physically deleted by this program.
Option 13 allows you run the Part Deletion Report program. The program is run online and creates a report in the user's default output location. This output location can be changed through the F16 key. The Part Deletion Report lists all part activity (i.e. warehouse balances, routings, sales orders, etc.) that must be deleted before the part can be made inactive.
COMMAND KEYS
