Handle Pallets on Purchase Order Receipt

Explanation

When the pallets are created in a pallet arrival location, the number of pallets created depends on the quantity specified as the standard quantity per pallet on the inventory part. Example: If the standard quantity per pallet is 10 pieces and 125 parts are received, then 13 pallets are created, i.e., 12 pallets with 10 pieces on each and 1 pallet with 5 pieces.

You can increase or decrease the number of pallets by using Create New Pallet in the Operations menu or moving the parts between pallets. If you create a new pallet and then move the entire quantity on a pallet to this new pallet, the first pallet is automatically removed when saving this operation.

Prerequisites

• The receipt line must have been entered as arrived and a pallet arrival location must have been used.

System Effects

The specified quantity is moved to a different pallet or to a newly created pallet.
