Single Location Processing

In single (standard) location processing, material is automatically deducted from the component part's SIR location, as defined in the Part Master Maintenance conversation.  Although you may manually record the issue of a component upon the receipt of its parent, SIR processing will automatically record the issue and update the component's inventory status.  Using this processing option requires a smaller number of inventory transactions than the manual requisition method.

Setup

There are two main steps to enable standard SIR processing:

·     You determine the location from which each component's inventory is relieved in the Part Master Maintenance conversation.  On the Change Control screen, you set the issue code to 'S' (simultaneous issue and receipt).

·     You must then enter a location into the SIR Location field.  Neither blanks nor 'NOSRLOC' ("No SIR Location") are valid entries for this field.
