Receipt Entry kit - out of the box or customization

Hi Everyone,

Wondering if anyone has found a workaround or created customization to receipt a Kit.

For example, Epicor (buying company) issues a PO for a Part. We store this part as one, but the vendor has it in pieces in their system.

Vendor ships the part sometimes whole, sometime in components, maybe from multiple warehouses to make the due date.

Ideally, there can be a setting, Part A…B…C, once all is receipted, Buying company gets unit 1 in inventory.

The current workaround is manual assessment. 1st PS comes in, no record in Epcior. 2nd, 3rd, whenever it is fully receipted, the last record is triggered into Epicor by receiving to drive increased to inventory.

Job has been assessed, but there is really no manufacturing that happens. This adds overhead to creating and closing jobs. Requirement of labor hr to book time. Lastly, sometimes all parts come in one box, therefore the job is not needed.

We can tell the vendor to ship complete, but they won’t or because due date, components come from all over.

Thank you!

A way of doing this would be to create a Line with your part/price/etc and then lines with the many Vendor parts as a non-inventory purchase and zero price. The PO total will match their system and you costing will be correct.

Hi Jason, Thanks for the idea. This would impact AP to vouchers these lines, Receiving to manage additional lines when receiving whole-lots, possible PO not closing when the item is missed, and/or confusion between primary line and secondary lines.

All cost for using this method. More food for thought, grateful for the suggestion!

Yes. However, at that point you could automate the process.

A different idea would be to load the comments with the Supplier Part and Qty. Lastly, you could create a UD table with the Kit data that you could connect to the PO Form.
