MEGA Report - Item Setup Issues
This report lists SKUs exhibiting Eagle Inventory Maintenance setup issues. These item settings can result in: persistent shrink/swell caused by order multiple and/or unit multiple variances. inventory value errors caused by inaccurate cost calculations when the inventory is received. What is an Item Setup issue: Setup issues occur when an item's Order Multiple (the vendor's ordering and shipping unit) differs from the way your customers buy the item AND the SKU is not set up correctly in (your store's Inventory Maintenance screen) to translate this difference, or vice versa. Wrong setup example The example below shows a balsa airplane assortment delivered with 48 separate airplanes at $3.49 (retail) each. If we look at the (outlined in red) OM/RU section, we see 1/48. This means the vendor OM (Order Multiple) is 1 unit made up of 48 sellable units (Retail Units or RU). When there is a mismatch between vendor OM and vendor RU then we need to set our Eagle system up to translate the vendor OM (of 1 in this example) to the Retail Units of 48. That is, when we order and receive 1 from the vendor, our store QOH needs to increase by 48 or the Retail Unit. Below we see this SKU set up incorrectly with incorrect OM (1 instead of 48) and incorrect Stocking and Purchasing Unit Multiples (U/M). When setup this way, the system thinks we order one and receive one. However, when we order 1, we really receive 48! Fixing it example Your Mango exception page shows your store OM, Purchasing U/M and Stocking U/M along with how it needs to be set up to be compatible with Acenet (Ace columns). All you need to do is set the SKU's setting to match the report's Ace column and you will be all set! It does not matter which Stocking U/M nor Purchasing U/M are selected, what matters is if they are different or if they are the same. If the Purchasing U/M is different from the Stocking U/M then when ordered, the system will divide by the SKU's Order Multiple and will multiply when received. In this example, because the Stocking U/M (EA) is different than the Purchasing U/M (PK) when 48 are transmitted to be ordered, the order quantity will be divided by the SKU's Order Multiple of 48 (48 ordered divided by 48 Order Multiple = 1) and 1 unit will be ordered. When received, the 1 unit ordered will be multiplied by the SKU's Order Multiple of 48 and 48 units will be received into your system. If your Stocking U/M and your Purchasing U/M are the same, then this Order Multiple division and multiplication will not occur.
