Manage Catchweight on Transfer Documents

Catchweight on Transfer Order

On Transfer Order Lines, two fields are added:

• “Handling Quantity” - quantity necessary (in Unit of Measure defined on the “Handling UoM”) - to be filled by the user;
• “Handling UoM”- automatically filled with the Unit of Measure defined on “Purchase Handling UoM” on Item Card.

  

When creating a Transfer Order with Catchweight Item:

Unit of Measure Code = Unit of Measure (Item card) – non editable field.

Handling UoM = Sales Handling UoM (Item card).

It’s possible to fill the Quantity in two ways:

1. Fill the “Handling Quantity” field - automatically the conversion to the “Quantity” field will be made (based on the Normative conversion);
2. Fill the “Quantity” field with the intended quantity;

When filling the “Quantity” field, system will check if conversion ratio matches the accepted tolerance defined on item card. If not, an error message appears:

Fields “Qty. to Ship (Handling UoM)” and “Qty. to Receive (Handling UoM)” are also on Transfer Order Lines to reflect the quantities transferred in Handling UoM.

When filling in the “Qty to Handle” and “Qty to Handle (Handling UoM)” with the actual quantity and weight, then the conversion checked is executed based on the ratio Qty to Receive / Qty to Receive (Handling UoM). This would result in two situations:

1. If the quantity is not within Item Catchweight Tolerance, an error message will appear:

   

In this case, is required a line adjustment to cope with Weight Tolerance.

2. If the quantity is within Weight Tolerance, the line is validated and the Transfer Shipment posted.

When the transfer order is posted for shipment, the “Qty. to Ship (Handling UoM)” and the “Handling UoM” fields are reported on the Posted Transfer Shipment.

Same behaviour is observed for Qty. to Receive and Posted Transfer Receipts.
