Gail,
We are setting up parts in the warehouse, for examples fasteners and
weld nuts, to be stocked in the warehouse in boxes of 1000 each. We
establish minimum levels in Vantage to trigger reordering of parts.
Jobs may require 50 to several thousand at a time. We issue a "bench
stock" amount, say a box of 1,000 to the weld department and put it into
a "weld department" warehouse. We know that somewhere between 50 to a
thousand will be in the weld shop at any one time, and not necessarily
for an immediate job. When they run the job the data entry causes the
back-flush, which relieves inventory and adds costs to the job. As the
inventory goes down it will trigger the reorder to purchasing. As our
main warehouse is shown on the part master as the primary warehouse,
then the inventory should always be relieved from that warehouse, while
the weld department warehouse inventory should always be at 1,000. When
the weld shop needs more weld nuts, they will get them out of the
warehouse 1000 at a time. Since these items are not very expensive, we
will adjust our inventory through cycle counting of the 1000 piece
boxes.
We may not be doing everything right, but the jobs get their parts and
costs, inventory is relieved and monitored through cycle counting by the
main warehouse and purchasing knows when to reorder.
