Basic parameters > Outputs > Date contract > FIFO sequentiality 

Use the customer contract date functionality to define the rules making a DO line eligible for the "FIFO strict sequentiality" management.

The principle is to define rules according to the 4 following criteria: Ship to customer, depositor, product group and product code.

Screen management

The screen is comprised of a simple grid.

Entry screen

Presentation

A line is entered for a group of four elements (ship-to customer, depositor, group, product). An "active" flag can activate this setup.

For a DO line, a setup line is searched according to the following priority:
  • An active line with ship-to customer, depositor, product
  • An active line with ship-to customer, depositor, group
  • An active line with depositor, product
  • An active line with depositor, group
  • An active line with depositor
  • An active line with ship-to customer
For instance: Let us consider the following setup:
Line 1 CLT1 (CLT for customer), DEP1 (DEP for depositor), ART1 (ART for product)
Line 2 DEP1, ART1
Line 3 DEP1, FAM1 (FAM for group)
Line 4 CLT1

If DO line on CLT1, DEP1, FAM1, ART1 => line 1
If DO line on CLT2, DEP1, FAM1, ART1 => line 2
If DO line on CLT1, DEP1, FAM1, ART2 => line 3
If DO line on CLT1, DEP1, FAM2, ART2 => line 4
If DO line on CLT2, DEP1, FAM2, ART2 => no line found - no strict FIFO sequentiality

Fields

The following fields are present on this tab :

Grid

  • Active (field ENAFLG)

Select or clear this check box to respectively enable or disable the Sort code.

  • If the check box is selected: you can apply the Sort code to a wave or preparation area.
  • If the check box is cleared: you cannot use the Sort code. If you try to use it, you will receive an error message explaining that the code cannot be used.

Code of the ship-to customer who must be defined in the Customer table.

Code representing the depositor. In logistics terms, the concept of depositor makes it possible to process separate flows or traffics within the same site. It encompasses the concept of order-issuing customer for the service providers.

After the site, the depositor is the second access key to the Product, Input and Delivery Order files. For the location, the depositor code is entered if the location is allocated to the depositor or to the product, and if the location is single-depositor or single-product or if it is not empty.

The family enables products to be classified on the basis of a criterion chosen by the user. It features the entity that defines the packing rules at product level.

Product code defined in the GEODE product table.
