Dock Date

The Dock Date of the PO release is calculated as follows:

a.   Best Dock Date = Requisition Due Date minus Dock-to-Stock lead time.  (It is set to equal the Run Date if it is less than the Run Date.)

b.   Maximum Offset Authorized Shopdate = Best Dock Date minus Maximum Offset Days on Reference File category G51.

c.   Offset with Warning = Best Dock Date minus Offset with warning on Reference File category G51.

The following steps occur until a Best Dock Date is found; or until the Best Dock Date is greater than the Maximum Offset Authorized Shop date, or until the Best Dock Date is beyond the last date of the calendar.

·     The Best Dock Date (calculated in point a) is compared with the Exception Dates that are defined in Reference File category G55.

·     If it is a valid delivery day, the Best Dock Date is then compared with the delivery rules of the endorsement.  (For example, is it a valid delivery day within a valid delivery week?)  For RS VDA parts only, every week of the month and every day of a week are considered valid delivery days.

·     If the Best Dock Date is an exception (exception date, or invalid delivery day, and/or an invalid delivery week), the Best Dock Date is decremented by one.

·     The due date of the PO release is the Best Dock Date plus the Dock-to-Stock lead time.

·     The Expedite Notice Date is calculated if the Expedite Notice lead time is not zero.  If it is a preventive expedite notice, the notice lead time is subtracted from the Best Dock Date.  If it is a past due expedite notice, the notice lead time is added to the Best Dock Date.

·     If there is no existing release for the PO line specified in the endorsement with a Due Date and a Dock Date equal to those calculated, a new release will be created; otherwise, the existing one will be updated. 

Note:    If the Best Dock Date calculated is prior to today’s date, then the Dock Date will be set equal to today’s date and a warning message will be generated. 

The PO release prior to the Requisition Due Date is read to see if an over receipt has occurred.  If an over receipt has occurred:

a.   The release quantity (in add mode) = over receipt plus allocated quantity
The release quantity (in change mode)  = over receipt plus allocated quantity plus old release quantity.

b.   If there is no overflow:

·     The PO release prior to the requisition due date has its received quantity set to the PO release quantity.

·     Either a PO release is created, the release quantity is calculated using the calculation for a release quantity in add mode (see point a above), or the PO release with the Dock Date and Due Date equal to the ones calculated is updated with the release quantity calculated in point a.

·     The PO line is updated.

The over receipt quantity plus the allocated quantity is added to the:

current order quantity - PU
current order quantity - SKU
total ordered quantity - PU
total ordered quantity - SKU

·     The PO header is updated.  The over receipt quantity plus the allocated quantity is multiplied by the unit price, and added to the total purchase amount.

The appropriate taxing method is determined (that is, VAT, GST, or U.S. tax) and either:

1.   VAT is calculated and added to the VAT amount (future effectivity dates are checked for VAT rates); or

2.   GST and PST (provincial sales tax) are calculated and added to the VAT (GST) amount and tax amount, respectively (future effectivity dates are checked for both GST and PST rates.  If appropriate, PST will be compounded on the GST amount); or

3.   U.S. tax is calculated and added to the tax amount.

·     The warehouse balance for the part is updated.  The on-order quantity is increased by the allocated quantity.
