Scan Materials

Form ID: (AM300030)

When you scan the appropriate barcode, the system brings up this form for a new production materials transaction. You then scan the barcode of the order type (if not defaulted) and production order ID. All of this information is reflected on the form as you work. When you have scanned all items and the information on the form is correct, you scan the barcode to release the material transactions. You can view the released move the Move (AM302000) form.

This form is available only if the Manufacturing Data Collection feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Element Description
Default Warehouse from User Profile

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the system copies a warehouse to the Warehouse box from the Default Warehouse box of the User Profile (SM203010) form for the user account to which you are signed in.

The default value of this check box is copied from the check box of the same name on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form. You can override the default check box value on the current form.

Use Default Auto-Generated Lot/Serial Nbr.

A check box that indicates (if selected) that you can skip the entry of lot or serial numbers when reporting the last operation for lot and serialized items; the system generates lot or serial numbers for these items automatically. If the check box is cleared, you manually enter a lot or serial number for each lot- or serial-tracked item being received.

The default value of this check box is copied from the check box of the same name on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form. You can override the default check box value on the current form.

This box is available only if the Lot and Serial Tracking feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Use Default Expiration Date

A check box that indicates (if selected) that you can skip the entry of expiration dates when receiving serialized items; the system generates expiration dates for these items automatically. If the check box is cleared, you manually enter an expiration date for each lot- or serial-tracked item being received.

The default value of this check box is copied from the check box of the same name on the Production Preferences (AM102000) form. You can override the default check box value on the current form.

This box is available only if the Lot and Serial Tracking feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Tip: When scanning in a lot or serial item with a required expiration date, if you have the Use Default Expiration Date check box selected in preferences, it will first look to see if the lot number already exists in inventory. If it does it will use the same expiration date. If it is a new lot number it will look at the Max Shelf Life (Days) box on the Replenishment tab of the Item Warehouse Details (IN204500) form and add that number to today's date to get the expiration date. If the max shelf life is 0 it will ask the user to enter an expiration date.
The dialog box has the following buttons.
Save Applies your selected options and closes the dialog box.
Cancel Closes the dialog box without applying any changes you have made.
