New Rules Required for New Routings
With the new routings, new algorithms are required to establish put-away rules.
The objective of a quality algorithm is to decide whether an inspection is required, to create an inspection tag. Inspections can be required, for example:
• Every X days
• If previous inspection was bad
• If inspection required on order (PO and WO)
• Every X receipts
In the scenario shown in the graphic above, QA rule 8 is triggered. An inspection takes place if the item is marked for inspection in Multi-Level Item Maintenance inspection data frame.
If an inspection is triggered based on the QA rules, the INSP transaction uses Location Find rule 1 to put-away product. Remember, LF rules do not consider space capacity.
When the inspection passes, the system creates a BACK transaction and uses the 5, 3, 2 rule sequence to put product away into storage. This rule sequence attempts to merge the sample back with the initial load (if a sample was used for inspection). Then, an attempt is made to consolidate in a location with the same. Finally, any empty location is sought.
