More Info |
The More Info tab enables you to calculate lead time automatically and record additional details about ordering parts from vendor
Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on vendor ID, part ID, part suffix, and whether an entry is complete.
The fields in the top section of this tab are display only from the Basic Info tab.
Vendor ID
Identifier of the part vendor. The vendor name displays to the right of the ID.
Part ID
Valid identifier of the part. The ID is associated with the part suffix. The part description displays to the right of the ID.
Part suffix
Part suffix associated with the part in the Part ID field.
Data in the fields on the bottom section of this tab enable you to calculate lead time automatically and provide additional information about ordering the part. All fields are optional.
Vendor lead time (days)
Lead time for delivery of a part from order date to receipt date. Vendor lead times are only tracked for STOCK PART line items.
Tip: This value is used to calculate the expected delivery date and time for line items on Enterprise Purchasing requisitions and purchase orders based on the following rules:
If a line item has a PENDING status, the expected delivery date is calculated based on the current date and time plus the vendor lead time for that part, if greater than zero. The expected delivery date defaults to today (if not already set on the applicable tab of the Data -> Enterprise Purchasing -> Setup -> Options screen).
When a line item is added with an OPEN status or changes from PENDING to OPEN status, the expected delivery date re-calculates based on the date and time sent to vendor plus the vendor lead time for the part, if greater than zero. If the Date and time sent to vendor field is blank, the expected delivery date is based on the date and time ordered plus the vendor lead time for the part, if greater than zero. If the Date and time ordered field is blank, the expected delivery date is based on the current date plus the vendor lead time for the part, if greater than zero. If the vendor lead time is not greater than zero or the Expected delivery date field is blank and there is a check in the Default expected delivery date to today field on the applicable tab of the Data -> Enterprise Purchasing -> Setup -> Options screen, then the current date and time are specified as the delivery date.
Automatically calculate vendor lead time
If this field has a check,a new average lead time for the specified vendor/part combination is calculated whenever a receipt is processed on the Data -> Enterprise Purchasing -> Receipts screen.
Note: Lead time is automatically calculated only if Enterprise Purchasing is active. If you are managing parts inventory either CENTRALLY or BY LOCATION, this option has no effect. If you have not yet migrated to Enterprise Purchasing, you may enter a lead time in the Vendor lead time (days) field to update the Last updated field.
Last updated
Date and time the lead time value was last calculated or updated. This field is display only.
Lead time was calculated
If this field has a check, the lead time was calculated during the last update.
Require RMA on return to vendor
If this field has a check, a return material authorization (RMA) is required to return items to the vendor.
Standard package quantity
Usual quantity of the part that the vendor includes in one package. Defaults to 1.
Minimum order quantity
Minimum quantity of the part that the vendor requires on orders. May be zero or a positive whole number.
Core credit value
Standard amount of credit that the vendor refunds for the return of this core part. This is the default for the Core unit value fields on the screens from which you issue parts. For a list of the screens, refer to the information on parts charges.
