Material.Receive
Overview#
This operation is used to receive the Material that has been previously shipped from another Facility.
Setup#
No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.
Preconditions#
- The Material exists, it is Active and In Transit.
- The Material is a TopMost Material.
- The InTransit To Facility Material is set to the Facility in which the Material is being received.
- In case of a Product Change, the Product that receives the Material exists, it is Active and Enabled.
- The new Flow of the Material exists, it is Active and Enabled.
- The new Step belongs to the new Facility.
- The new Flow Path is valid.
- The new Step must be different from the old Material Step, that is, the Step must change.
- There must not be any Material Time Constraint violated at the current context and transaction.
- For all the selected Materials to be shipped with a Material Package Count greater than zero, considering the complete hierarchy (consider only Active Packages) of all the Packages that reference those Materials, those Packages in their hierarchy must not include other Materials, and the Top-Level Packages must be in System State Closed.
Warning
A Material can be received without changing the Step if it is shipped in state Queued and the Step belongs to the new Facility.
Sequence of Steps#
Step 1: Material#
- Verify the Material information.
- Specify (or validate) the new Flow Path in which the Materials will be received in the new Facility.
For Local Receive, you need to remember the following:
- If the current Material Step exists in the new Facility, the Flow Path will not change.
- If the current Material Step does not exist in the new Facility and there is only one next Step for the current Material Flow Path that exists in the new Facility, this Step is set as the new Step.
- If the current Material Step does not exist in the new Facility and there is no next Step that exists in the new Facility, but the default start Flow Path for the Product exists in the new Facility, this Flow Path will be the new one.
- If none of these conditions apply, the Flow Path will be empty.
Step 2: Sub-Materials#
- Verify the Sub-Material information.
- Specify (or validate) the new Product in which the Sub-Materials will be created in the new Facility.
- Optionally, enter a comment.
- Select Receive to complete the operation.
