Once you have material items that have been shipped on a Work Order, you can return those items back to stock, just as you can in the text program. Very Important: Returns must be processed from the Work Order they were shipped out on. Also, Shipped materials must be returned PRIOR to being Unassigned with the Graphical Version.
Returns only applies to items that need to be returned to the warehouse and have been cut and some or all quantities are being returned for later re-selection. To initiate the process, use the Revision button to prompt the Work Order Selection screen and select the applicable Work Order. You will then right-click on the line of an item being returned to prompt the Return to Stock option. The system will prompt a Return Material Screen as follows:
On non-Roll items, if the Partial Return box is checked, a Return Amount field will prompt as follows:
Enter the amount to put back into inventory and then click Save. You can then re-select on another Work Order, or Unassign from the Job and place back in stock.
On Roll items, the system will prompt a Has This Been Cut check box. If the entire amount in the Work Order Qty box is coming back, you can just click Save. However, when checked, you have the option to return each applicable cut, or process an Irregular Return. The system will prompt a Return Material box as follows:
In the Piece Amount (1) field, type in the first cut amount being returned, along with the Location (2) (required field) in the warehouse, and click Add. That piece will prompt in the Standard Width Return box, and the Amount Remaining to Return will update accordingly. Type in the next cut, and so forth. If you need to re-enter the data, click the Reset (3) button to clear the existing cuts. When all cuts are entered, click the Finalize button to return to inventory. For Irregular Returns (4), click that check box. In the box (5) below, select the Product Code for the Irregular Return, and enter the Location, Width, and Length, followed by the Add button. You will then see the item(s) prompt in the Irregular Return (6) list box. Use the Reset button next to that box to clear the contents and start again. When complete, click the Finalize button to move the item(s) to inventory. When you hit the Finalize button, the system will prompt a Finalize Return box with a summary of what you entered as follows:
You will need to click Yes to save your changes. If you click No, the system will return you to the Return Material screen. Please Note: When a new inventory item is created from this process, the system will write a line to the Memo field on the inventory record with the Branch ID, W/O #, Job #, and Job Line #.
