Capture Bins for Serials on Hold

This program lets you place serials (that have been put on hold by the conversion program) into different bins.

Exploring

Things you can do in this program include:

  • Select serials that have been placed on hold by the conversion program.
  • Add bins for serials that are on hold.
  • Split serials between bins.

You access this program using the Ctrl+R shortcut to run the INVCSN program.

This is typically a container or shelf in a warehouse that lets you keep track of stored inventory items.

Each bin is assigned a type to indicate its basic flow of activities. This helps define the way in which it is used and to prevent incorrect use (e.g. dispatching inventory from a WIP bin, or consuming products that have not yet been receipted).

Starting

You can restrict operator access to programs by assigning them to groups and applying access control against the group (configured using the Operator Groups program).

The following configuration options in SYSPRO may affect processing within this program or feature, including whether certain fields and options are accessible.

The Setup Options program lets you configure how SYSPRO behaves across all modules. These settings can affect processing within this program.

Setup Options > Configuration > Distribution > Inventory

  • Multiple bins
  • Associate serials by bin

  • You can only use this program to categorize serials into different bins after running the conversion process (which is started when the Associate serials by bin setup option is enabled for the first time).

  • You can only run this program for the company that holds the inventory.
  • You can't split a serial when active dispatch notes exist for the serial (i.e. active dispatch notes need to be completed or canceled before the serial can be split).

Solving

This message is displayed when the Associate serials by bin setup option is enabled for the first time (Setup Options > Configuration > Distribution > Inventory).

After selecting OK, a conversion program runs automatically to place serials in bins. Any serials that couldn't be updated are placed on hold.

You can use the Capture Bins for Serials on Hold program to categorize serials that have been put on hold, into different bin locations.

  • Fields on a pane are sometimes removed by default. You can reinstate them using the Field Selector option from the context-sensitive menu (displayed by right-clicking any field in the pane). Select and drag the required fields onto the pane.

    The captions for fields are also sometimes hidden. You can select the Show Captions option from the context-sensitive menu to see a list of them. Click on the relevant caption to reinstate it to the form.

    If the Show Captions option is grayed out, it means no captions are hidden for that form.
