Recurring Inspection for stock provided to vendor

[babarkhan_mujawar]

Dear All,

Business required automatic recurring Inspection for stock provided for vendor or any special stock.

How to Mapped this?

Tricky one! I have not checked whether this is feasible or not but surely this leaves few queries in my mind. Correct me if something goes wrong!

1. What significance we can achieve through this if becomes feasible?
2. As per my understanding, whenever you send material to vendor for subcontracting it reflects under stock provided to vendor in MMBE.
3. If at all recurring inspection becomes possible at this stage, then stock will be moved to QI ot to block stock from vendor's unrestricted compartment.
4. As an outcome of this you will NOT be able to receive material B from vendor (with 101 movement) as the material A (which was sent to vendor) will not be available for consumption from unrestricted use thus barring 543 movement.
5. I think, this should be controlled either by physical ways or through system before sending to vendor. One should take care that the materials which have closure expiry periods should not dispatched to vendor.

I second a lot of the issues that Anand brought up.  Especially with regard to materials provided to a vendor for subcontracting.  You should be using batch determination strategies to help ensure that stock provided to vendors will have more than enough shelf life to be used.  Vendors should also have performance metrics in their contracts to make sure that they process and manage provide materials properly.

The recurring inspection report only works on unrestricted stock.  That's it.  If you want it to consider other types of stock, you have to copy the program and customize it.

Correct!  I agree and if I'm not mistaken, in CIN environment such types of restrictions apply on provider. e.g. delivery should be met within 180 days for 57F4. The sender should also take care not to dispatch the materials which has expiry period less than 180 days. (or rather 200 days keeping 20 days as safety factor) There could be several reports to determine batch-wise expiry dates. This along with batch determination should work definitely. Thanks!
