Changing inventory valuation method

system · October 16, 2009, 10:40pm

Has anyone gone through the process of changing from average cost to
standard on manufactured parts?

We're looking for some insight into what is required to make this
change.

Thanks~

Hello group and TGIF!

We're currently using one bin location (DEFAULT) for all parts. To improve parts locating on the shop floor, I want to start using specific bin locations. The problem I'm having is that Vantage backflushes from the default bin instead of the bin that actually has qty on hand.

I entered some production in pilot and saw the manufactured components being backflushed from empty default bins and while other bins of the same part, with qty-on-hand, were not utilized.

Aside from changing the default bin everytime we receive, manufacture or move inventory is there a way to work around this?

You set your default bin per part in the part maintenance screen. When
you receive parts to stock from a job it should automatically go to its
default location. When you receive parts from purchase, click the 'to
location' button and that will bring up the default bin location for
that part as defined in the part master. With some exceptions (mostly
human driven) it works pretty well for us.

In Part maintenance, under the plant tab, under warehouse tab, there is
a field called primary bin...if you set up your new locations in this
field, then you won't have the issue.

Hello and thank you for the input. We have set the default bin for the parts
in the part master. I'll give an example to better explain my dilema.

1. We receive part ABC which is set to bin1 as it's default bin.

2. The receiver stores the part ABC but bin1 is taken so he store it
in bin5 and moves the qty in Vantage accordingly.

3. Part ABC is used and the inventory is relieved from bin1 because
that is the default set in the part master. bin1 goes into a negative
inventory qty when bin5 has parts available.

I don't want to have to reset my default bin every time we store parts in a
new location, which is very common.

So the question is why segregate like parts into different bins? You
must have a REALLY good reason to not want to combine parts....because
you can....unfortunately 8.x doesn't have rev control for inventory.
Not sure if version 9 does.

One solution is to either have a report for where parts are located for
your shipping dept, or do a BAQ for your shippers to use so they can see
where the parts are located.

Having re-read my posting, I could have worded this one more effectively.

The problem is that a specific part's default bin is where it will be
backflushed (or added to inventory in the case of mfg'ed). But the place
where we store parts is always changing.

To have the part backflush from the correct location, I'd have to change the
default bin every time we store the part in a new location.

I'm thinking that I'll need to create a BPM that will change the default bin
whenever a receipt or an inventory movement occurs.

Or still do the BAQ (parts with onhand qty and bins), then you can
transfer parts from one bin to the next....

Under Inventory, general ops, there is an inventory transfer program you
can use....something to think about maybe?

Subject: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Hello group and TGIF!

We're currently using one bin location (DEFAULT) for all parts. To
improve parts locating on the shop floor, I want to start using specific
bin locations. The problem I'm having is that Vantage backflushes from
the default bin instead of the bin that actually has qty on hand.

I entered some production in pilot and saw the manufactured components
being backflushed from empty default bins and while other bins of the
same part, with qty-on-hand, were not utilized.

Aside from changing the default bin everytime we receive, manufacture or
move inventory is there a way to work around this?

Having re-read my posting, I could have worded this one more effectively.

The problem is that a specific part's default bin is where it will be
backflushed (or added to inventory in the case of mfg'ed). But the place
where we store parts is always changing.

To have the part backflush from the correct location, I'd have to change the
default bin every time we store the part in a new location.

I'm thinking that I'll need to create a BPM that will change the default bin
whenever a receipt or an inventory movement occurs.

So the question is why segregate like parts into different bins? You
must have a REALLY good reason to not want to combine parts....because
you can....unfortunately 8.x doesn't have rev control for inventory.
Not sure if version 9 does.

One solution is to either have a report for where parts are located for
your shipping dept, or do a BAQ for your shippers to use so they can see
where the parts are located.

Hello and thank you for the input. We have set the default bin for the

1. We receive part ABC which is set to bin1 as it's default bin.

2. The receiver stores the part ABC but bin1 is taken so he store it
in bin5 and moves the qty in Vantage accordingly.

3. Part ABC is used and the inventory is relieved from bin1 because
that is the default set in the part master. bin1 goes into a negative
inventory qty when bin5 has parts available.

You set your default bin per part in the part maintenance screen. When
you receive parts to stock from a job it should automatically go to its
default location. When you receive parts from purchase, click the 'to

that part as defined in the part master. With some exceptions (mostly

Gerry,
This is what we do. We have a location "FLOOR" for each of our warehouses. It is the primary bin and where we backflush from. We have many, many other racks/bin locations for storage, but when parts are moved to the production line, they are moved to "FLOOR" and then cleanly backflushed without the hassle of changing the default location every time. It may not always be obvious where a given part is - if in the "FLOOR" location - I mean it could be anywhere in that warehouse, but anyone familiar with the production lines knows where it would be, and anyone else (ie: cycle counters) can look up where it is used and find it that way.

Might not work for your business, but sure works for us.

This is the way we have it now. We named our bin DEFAULT. Now I want to
starting tracking the location of parts but the default bin is getting in
the way.

I would continue using the DEFAULT bin and store the actual location in a
user field but I don't think I can add a user field in the handheld screens
(the handheld will be the device the forklift operators will use to move
inventory).

Actually, that's a clever way to work with it. We have a number of parts
that shop floor personal pick from the racks, the material handlers don't
move them once they are stored on the rack. Do you have this situation? And,
if so, how do you manage it

default location. When you receive parts from purchase, click the 'to
location' button and that will bring up the default bin location for
that part as defined in the part master. With some exceptions (mostly
human driven) it works pretty well for us.

Subject: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Hello group and TGIF!

We're currently using one bin location (DEFAULT) for all parts. To
improve parts locating on the shop floor, I want to start using specific
bin locations. The problem I'm having is that Vantage backflushes from
the default bin instead of the bin that actually has qty on hand.

I entered some production in pilot and saw the manufactured components
being backflushed from empty default bins and while other bins of the
same part, with qty-on-hand, were not utilized.

Aside from changing the default bin everytime we receive, manufacture or
move inventory is there a way to work around this?

We track locations for thousands of parts, all of which are lot tracked and more than half have multiple lots and we have no default bins. The system tracks locations as it should.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Having re-read my posting, I could have worded this one more effectively.

The problem is that a specific part's default bin is where it will be
backflushed (or added to inventory in the case of mfg'ed). But the place
where we store parts is always changing.

To have the part backflush from the correct location, I'd have to change the
default bin every time we store the part in a new location.

I'm thinking that I'll need to create a BPM that will change the default bin
whenever a receipt or an inventory movement occurs.

So the question is why segregate like parts into different bins? You
must have a REALLY good reason to not want to combine parts....because
you can....unfortunately 8.x doesn't have rev control for inventory.
Not sure if version 9 does.

One solution is to either have a report for where parts are located for
your shipping dept, or do a BAQ for your shippers to use so they can see
where the parts are located.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Hello and thank you for the input. We have set the default bin for the
parts
in the part master. I'll give an example to better explain my dilema.

1. We receive part ABC which is set to bin1 as it's default bin.

2. The receiver stores the part ABC but bin1 is taken so he store it
in bin5 and moves the qty in Vantage accordingly.

3. Part ABC is used and the inventory is relieved from bin1 because
that is the default set in the part master. bin1 goes into a negative
inventory qty when bin5 has parts available.

I don't want to have to reset my default bin every time we store parts
in a
new location, which is very common.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Having re-read my posting, I could have worded this one more effectively.

The problem is that a specific part's default bin is where it will be
backflushed (or added to inventory in the case of mfg'ed). But the place
where we store parts is always changing.

To have the part backflush from the correct location, I'd have to change the
default bin every time we store the part in a new location.

I'm thinking that I'll need to create a BPM that will change the default bin
whenever a receipt or an inventory movement occurs.

So the question is why segregate like parts into different bins? You
must have a REALLY good reason to not want to combine parts....because
you can....unfortunately 8.x doesn't have rev control for inventory.
Not sure if version 9 does.

One solution is to either have a report for where parts are located for
your shipping dept, or do a BAQ for your shippers to use so they can see
where the parts are located.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Hello and thank you for the input. We have set the default bin for the
parts
in the part master. I'll give an example to better explain my dilema.

1. We receive part ABC which is set to bin1 as it's default bin.

2. The receiver stores the part ABC but bin1 is taken so he store it
in bin5 and moves the qty in Vantage accordingly.

3. Part ABC is used and the inventory is relieved from bin1 because
that is the default set in the part master. bin1 goes into a negative
inventory qty when bin5 has parts available.

I don't want to have to reset my default bin every time we store parts
in a
new location, which is very common.

You set your default bin per part in the part maintenance screen. When
you receive parts to stock from a job it should automatically go to its
default location. When you receive parts from purchase, click the 'to
location' button and that will bring up the default bin location for
that part as defined in the part master. With some exceptions (mostly
human driven) it works pretty well for us.

Subject: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Hello group and TGIF!

We're currently using one bin location (DEFAULT) for all parts. To
improve parts locating on the shop floor, I want to start using specific
bin locations. The problem I'm having is that Vantage backflushes from
the default bin instead of the bin that actually has qty on hand.

I entered some production in pilot and saw the manufactured components
being backflushed from empty default bins and while other bins of the
same part, with qty-on-hand, were not utilized.

Aside from changing the default bin everytime we receive, manufacture or
move inventory is there a way to work around this?

When you backflush, the default bin is used to withdraw components when
production is reported at the operation.

Yes, that's exactly our situation. We have racks in the production areas that shop floor personnel are allowed to pick from, they are unmarked, but considered "FLOOR" of that warehouse. Only material handlers (and supervisors who know the move process) are allowed to pick from any marked or labeled racks. We have big signs "STOP! - MOVE TRANSACTION MUST BE MADE" on those locations too. When we stop production on a given product for any length of time, we move the parts out of the FLOOR location and back into a rack/bin location. It took some time to get everything working smoothly, but now we have designated areas in each warehouse with labeled rack/bin locations. Each warehouse is marked alike - with yellow tape on the floor and the signs, so anyone new to the company or the warehouse knows exactly what that means.
Hope that helps.

Actually, that's a clever way to work with it. We have a number of parts
that shop floor personal pick from the racks, the material handlers don't
move them once they are stored on the rack. Do you have this situation? And,
if so, how do you manage it

Gerry,
This is what we do. We have a location "FLOOR" for each of our warehouses.
It is the primary bin and where we backflush from. We have many, many other
racks/bin locations for storage, but when parts are moved to the production
line, they are moved to "FLOOR" and then cleanly backflushed without the
hassle of changing the default location every time. It may not always be
obvious where a given part is - if in the "FLOOR" location - I mean it could
be anywhere in that warehouse, but anyone familiar with the production lines
knows where it would be, and anyone else (ie: cycle counters) can look up
where it is used and find it that way.

Might not work for your business, but sure works for us.

Having re-read my posting, I could have worded this one more effectively.

The problem is that a specific part's default bin is where it will be
backflushed (or added to inventory in the case of mfg'ed). But the place
where we store parts is always changing.

To have the part backflush from the correct location, I'd have to change the
default bin every time we store the part in a new location.

I'm thinking that I'll need to create a BPM that will change the default bin
whenever a receipt or an inventory movement occurs.

So the question is why segregate like parts into different bins? You
must have a REALLY good reason to not want to combine parts....because
you can....unfortunately 8.x doesn't have rev control for inventory.
Not sure if version 9 does.

One solution is to either have a report for where parts are located for
your shipping dept, or do a BAQ for your shippers to use so they can see
where the parts are located.

Subject: RE: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Hello and thank you for the input. We have set the default bin for the
parts
in the part master. I'll give an example to better explain my dilema.

1. We receive part ABC which is set to bin1 as it's default bin.

2. The receiver stores the part ABC but bin1 is taken so he store it
in bin5 and moves the qty in Vantage accordingly.

3. Part ABC is used and the inventory is relieved from bin1 because
that is the default set in the part master. bin1 goes into a negative
inventory qty when bin5 has parts available.

I don't want to have to reset my default bin every time we store parts
in a
new location, which is very common.

You set your default bin per part in the part maintenance screen. When
you receive parts to stock from a job it should automatically go to its
default location. When you receive parts from purchase, click the 'to
location' button and that will bring up the default bin location for
that part as defined in the part master. With some exceptions (mostly
human driven) it works pretty well for us.

Subject: [Vantage] Default Bin Dilema

Hello group and TGIF!

We're currently using one bin location (DEFAULT) for all parts. To
improve parts locating on the shop floor, I want to start using specific
bin locations. The problem I'm having is that Vantage backflushes from
the default bin instead of the bin that actually has qty on hand.

I entered some production in pilot and saw the manufactured components
being backflushed from empty default bins and while other bins of the
same part, with qty-on-hand, were not utilized.

Aside from changing the default bin everytime we receive, manufacture or
move inventory is there a way to work around this?

Backflush whse bin can be over-ridden at the scheduled resource group/resource levelÂ for the job OP the material is tied to.

It sounds like you haven't set up your resource groups/resources with backflush whse/bins (so it is default backflushingÂ from your Part/primary-whse/defualt bin).

That doesn't totally resolve your problem as you'll still have to move transact inventory from your primary storage point (part default whse/defualt bin - or overflow bin inventory resides in) to a backflush point whse/bin.

However, that is a common practice. (Never good to have backflushing occuring out of a controlled stockroom... Always better to have a 'firewall' -even with extra transactions required - and backflush from a point of use whse/bin.)
