In this tab, the produced quantity of an intermediate product is posted that leads to a stock increase in the warehouse.

Postings on intermediate products that are the last intermediate product in the BOM (= end product) are posted to the warehouse with the correct material number. Technically: Quantums are created that have a reference to the material that is specified in the BOM.

Postings on intermediate products that are not the last intermediate product are posted with the combination of the intermediate material number and the BOM number in the warehouse. Technically: Quantums are created, which have a reference to the intermediate product material and the master data BOM. These bookings are optional and do not have to be made with each intermediate product. They are only necessary if the intermediate product represents a batch transition and this unfinished product is stored.

 

Attention:

If the display is in batch mode (2), then your changes are made to the selected batch intermediate.

If the display is in intermediate mode (1), then your changes are made on the intermediate product. 

 

To perform order-related postings, you must first create so-called "planned posting" (1). After entering all necessary posting data, the posting (3) must be executed. "Planned postings" have the following purpose:

1. Division of tasks within a company (e.g. work preparation enters data, production personnel performs postings).
2. Certainty in automated processes. Events in automated processes occur only once and never again (e.g. a dosage cannot be repeated again). If transaction errors or database problems occur in the background, you might lose information. To prevent this from happening, workflow nodes always first set up "planned posting" in the background before they are executed. Thus, these open transactions can be manually reposted in the event of an error.

 

Procedure for manual posting:

1. Press the "New Posting" button (1).
2. Selection of the newly created row in the posting list (2). Below this, a small form area is visible, which you must fill with the necessary posting data. For batch production: If overall or partial lots were created, the lot number is obligatory!
3. Press the "Post line" button (3), to trigger the transaction*.

 

Effects of a Inward posting

A successful transaction causes the following:

1. Stock increase in the warehouse if a positive number has been entered as a posting quantity. A negative number is a stock reduction. The stock fields of the following entities or tables are updated: Quantum, material, bin, lots, BOM, company (client).
2. The statistical "Outward stock" fields of the corresponding entities/tables are updated.
3. A new stock movement record is created, which is displayed in the posting history.
4. One "stock movement of a quantum" is created.
5. If the destination bin is an empty container that can store only one material, the assignment with the corresponding material number of the intermediate product is also set.
6. The actual quantities fields of this material position and the parent material positions are updated.
7. The planned posting is deleted.

 

Important note!

If you have a mistake in your posting or something else has gone wrong and you want to correct the posting again, always carry out the posting here and not in the warehouse management. Otherwise your statistics will not be correct! The rule applies: all activities that can be assigned to a business process (production, picking, goods receipt, goods issue...) should also be posted in the relevant business object!

 

* Transaction: A transaction in computer science is a sequence of program steps, which are considered a logical entity, because they leave the data in a consistent state after error-free and complete execution. Transactions provide an "all-or-nothing" proposition, stating that each work-unit performed in a database must either complete in its entirety or have no effect whatsoever.

 

A successful transaction of a planned posting results in a so-called stock movement. All parameters from the planned posting are copied to the stock movement and any missing data is automatically added. These stock movements are listed in the first table.

The result of a booking is always that stocks in the warehouse and ultimately quantum stocks are changed. These stock movements on Quantums are listed in the second table after you have selected the stock movement (1) in the first table.
