Creating
an Internal Replenishment Order
Internal replenishment orders
are created in the Inventory module. The following screens are used to
create an internal replenishment order:
-
The Usage Order Header Entry
(UOHE) screen is used to create a header for the internal replenishment
order.
Headers cannot be created
without first giving the internal replenishment order an order number.
Internal replenishment order numbers are alphanumeric and are assigned
by the warehouse manager. They can be up to 10 characters in length. The
NCAS does not automatically assign numbers to internal replenishment orders.
Your agency should define a method for determining order numbers and keep
a detailed log of numbers already assigned.
An order number suffix can
also be used to further identify an order. An order number suffix can be
any three alphanumeric characters. These characters act as an extension
of the order number.
-
Once the internal replenishment
order header has been completed, the Usage Order Line Item Entry (UOLE)
screen will be used to enter each line of the internal replenishment order.
Each order line includes data such as item numbers, quantities and account
information.
Note: Header information
from the Usage Order Header Entry (UOHE) screen will default to the Usage
Order Line Item Entry (UOLE) screen so that you will be able to view it
while entering line information.
The Usage Order Line Item
Entry (UOLE) screen permits you to enter up to five lines at one time.
If your order has more than one line, do not press ENTER until you
have entered the first five lines of your internal replenishment order.
If your order has more than
five lines, type the = sign in the first KEYS field and press ENTER
after entering the first five lines of your order. This enables you
to continue adding lines to the same order. The NCAS allows a maximum of
250 lines per order.
Note: The Usage Order
Additions (UOA) screen can be used to add lines to your order if you forget
to use to the = sign or if, for any reason, you leave the Usage Order Line
Item Entry (UOLE) screen before completing the order.
These are the only screens you
will need from the Inventory module to create an internal replenishment
order; however, you must still use the Item Short Name Lookup (ISN) screen
in the Purchasing module to look up an item number and description.
