You can view customer or vendor contract quantities and their effective dates on the Product Inventory Customer Service Stock window.
A customer or vendor can have contract quantities independent of service stock quantities. The system does not add contract quantities to the demand calculation; they are used for reporting purposes only.
Assign contract stock quantities using the Customer/Vendor Part Number Detail window.
Use the Customer Service Stock report to track demand for contract quantity items that have not expired.
To view contract quantity information for a product:
In the Product User Control Parameters dialog box, select a branch, and, from the Additional Controls menu, select Customer Service Stock to display the Product Inventory Customer Service Stock dialog box.
The system populates the Customer Service Stock field with the total quantity required by customers.
Under the Contract heading, review the following:
Column |
Description |
Customer |
The customer assigned the contract stock quantities. |
Quantity |
The contract quantity. This field is for reporting purposes only. |
Effective Date |
The date the contract goes into effect. This field is for reporting purposes only. It does not affect automatic purchasing or automatic transfers. |
Expire Date |
The date the contract expires. This field is for reporting purposes only. It does not affect automatic purchasing or automatic transfers. |
As contract quantities are for reporting purposes only, the system does not include them in the customer service stock totals in the Customer Service Stock field of the Product User Inventory Controls window.
Click OK to save the information and return to the previous dialog box.
