Basic parameters > Receipts > Date contract > Date contract 

Use the supplier contract date functionality to define the rules making a receipt line eligible for the date contract.

The principle is to determine a contract date duration (in number of days or months) and a nature of stock to apply according to the 4 following criteria: Supplier, depositor, product group and product code.

Entry screen

Presentation

Enter a line with a lead time and a unit (days or months) and a nature of stock to be applied in the calculation of the FIFO date of the receipt line for a group of four elements (ship-to customer, depositor, group, product). An "active" flag can activate this setup.

For a receipt line, a setup line to be applied is searched according to the following priority:
  • An active line with supplier, depositor, product
  • An active line with supplier, depositor, group
  • An active line with depositor, product
  • An active line with depositor, group
  • An active line with depositor
  • An active line with supplier
For instance: Let us consider the following setup:
SUPL1 (SUPL for supplier), DEP1 (DEP for depositor), ART1 (ART for product), lead time w
DEP1, ART1, lead time x
DEP1, FAM1 (FAM for group), lead time y
SUPL1, lead time z

If receipt line on SUPL1, DEP1, FAM1, ART1 => line 1 with lead time w
If receipt line on SUPL2, DEP1, FAM1, ART1 => line 2 with lead time x
If receipt line on SUPL1, DEP1, FAM1, ART2 => line 3 with lead time y
If receipt line on SUPL1, DEP1, FAM2, ART2 => line 4 with lead time z
If receipt line on SUPL2, DEP1, FAM2, ART2 => no line found - no date contract

Code of the supplier who must be defined in the supplier 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.

  • Unit (field DLYUNT)

Lead time unit. Possible values: Day, month…

  • Lead time (field DLYVAL)

Value of the lead time to take into account for the contract date.

It is used to manage the quality-related differences at stock object level: expiry, reconditioning, etc.
