Hi,

 

How to move part from one location type to another? 

 

Currently Part A sits at ‘Picking’ location but we want to move this to ‘Arrival’ or ‘Quality Assurance’ ? 

 

I am trying to move it using transport task but it is showing me an error that “cannot move to location type “Arrival” when not connected to purchase order. 

 

We have received PART A using purchase order.

 

Please let me know how can we proceed on this.

 

Thank you for your help.

In order to enter basic inspection results you first need to enter a Qty to Inspect on the receipt. Then you can use the dialog for Register Inspection Results either from detailed Receipt window or the overview for Inspection Management. It is possible to enter these basic inspection results (enter qty to return or scrap) on any locatión type as long as it is in the context of a receipt.

If you approved all parts on a QA location for a receipt the “Move to Location” will suggest a move to a pick location. An alternative is to use putaway logic if that has been setup.

An alternative to using this basic way of registering inspection results related to a receipt is to use control plans. Those describe more about the actual tests to be performed and entering the actual results of those tests. Control plans can be used both in receipt as well as later in warehouse if one identifies that something is wrong with parts in inventory. For the later it is good to also consider use of Part Availability Control in order to avoid that faulty parts are reserved, issued etc. You can read more about control plans in documentation.

To move parts to a arrival or QA location, the move itself needs to be done in the context of the purhase order receipt (a receipt ref is needed for these location typed. So you need to find the PO receipt and then use move function on PO receipt to move to a QA location. If part is not at the latest picking location as identified on the PO receipts you first have to move it to that location. Hope this helps.

 

This was very helpful for us as well, but we also need to understand how to carry out the QA process in IFS.

Could you please elaborate: 

  • Register inspection result is the next step when the parts are in a QA location. In which window do you recommend we register the inspection result? 
  • When the inspection result has been registered, the parts are still in the QA location. Shall we then use the move function to move from QA to a picking location? 
  • Could you please also let me know whether it is possible to do QA without first moving the parts to receipt location?

Many thanks in advance!
