SMI Inventory

Epicor ERP 10

We have many parts in SMI that have been rec’d into the SMI Bin. Say that some PNs are now no longer part of SMI. IS there a better way to remove the SMI Rec’d Inventory than transferring them to our inventory?

There is no Quantity Adjustment for SMI, but it sounds like there should.

Hi Miguel,

The only way we’ve found to do this is via inventory transfer to a non-SMI bin and then quantity adjust from the non-SMI bin. You should be able to do this via DMT.

Yeah, that is the only way we can do it as well.

BUT, that creates a PUR-STK, now you have a Received Not Invoiced in AP Clearing.

  1. Creating an inventory adjustment hits the GL so now you credit inventory and debit the Inv Adj GL Acct.
  2. How do we get rid of the AP Clearing. EPICOR has a fix to clear AP Clearing, essentially marks the receipt as invoiced, but is it going to take the $$ out of AP Clearing?

Seems like it should be an enhancement.

You should be able to pull up the SMI receipt and un-receive it.

We used to do that in E9, but once we do a single transfer over, you cant do it anymore.

This is an out of the box wild ass guess, but since receipt brought them in, can you misc ship them? Or misc issue them?

Getting them out is not an issue, I can just do an Inv Adj.

The accounting side is where it is not clean. I need to do some testing, but it would be easier if EPICOR let us adjust out SMI inventory since a PUR-SMI does not do anything on the GL side.

I’m just wondering if shipping from SMI avoids accounting as well. But you know more about it then I do.

Open the SMI receipt, change the received quantity to the amount remaining in SMI (Original receipt quanitty - quantity used) and click save. This has worked for me in the past.
