Material for a single project spread across different locations

Dear Friends

my client is executinig trun key projects. One single project may be spread across different geographical locations. Say Project name is "PRJ001".

PRJ001 will be executed in Bombay, Hyderabad, Chennai.

There are 2 scenarios for procuring materail:

1. Since my these places are quite far away, I might procure material from a venodr near to these locations.

2. I might give PO to one single vendor to dispatch material to these different locations for project execution.

In the both the cases, how to handle material?

What will be best option? Should I create a storage location (my client stores material @ site as these projects run for years)?

I'm procurial material as Project Stock (Q).

Say Bomaby location needs 500 no. of material, Hyderabad location needs 700 no. of material, Chennai location needs 300 no. of material.

Now how do I ensure that the right material with right quantity is reaching respective project site?

In some cases, project runs in remote location. Where there won't be any connectivity/ access to system. In such cases, if the site engineer enters GR/ IR & activity confirmation in excel sheet & later on sends an e-mail with this excel sheet to the office. How can we upload it to the system so that it updates the required fields in the system?

Please give your suggestions.

I appreciate your support/suggestion .

Thanks

Hi Amaresh,

I think your Option no. 01 holds good for your requirement. You can define the corresponding Project sites in Chennai, Mumbai and other places as Storage locations. Better define Seperate storage locations for different site locations.

I think having a delivery schedule with the specific requirement quantities and the storage location should resolve your issue of handling different quantities for the same material. This you can discuss & sort it out with your MM consultant.

Hope this gives some idea.

Thanks for your response Balchander.

But both options are open. Most of the times our customer will use second option.

Just looking for some more inputs from experts.
