Allocating cuts for the lot product

Use this procedure to allocate the cuts for the lot products displayed on the Cut Allocation Entry window:

  1. Click the drill down icon on an order line of a lot product to view the details screen wherein, you can view these details:
    • Product name
    • Description
    • Quantity ordered (in terms of length)
    • Notation as lot product
  2. Specify this information:
    Number of Pieces
    Specify the number of pieces in which the product must be cut.
    Length
    Specify the length of each piece in feet and inches. The length and dimension preferences for the cuts are defined in the Cut tab of Product Setup screen in Distribution SX.e.
    Note: When you specify the number of pieces and length, the calculated value must not exceed the Quantity Ordered or must be within the tolerance value defined on the SA Administrator Options in Distribution SX.e.
  3. Click Continue to view the Product Cut screen wherein you can view the number of pieces and length, as specified in the details screen.
  4. Specify this information:
    Lot #
    Specify the lot number. The available quantity associated with the lot number is displayed in the Available Quantity field.
    Cut
    Specify the number of cuts to be allocated.
    Quantity Returned

    The quantity that is returned. The formula to calculate this value:

    Quantity Returned = Available Quantity - (Cut * Length)
    Note: This value is updated based on the number of cuts specified in the Cut field. However, you can also modify this value.
    Quantity Scrapped

    The quantity that is scrapped. The formula to calculate this value:

    Quantity Scrapped = Available Quantity - (Cut * Length) - Quantity Returned
    Note: This value is updated based on the number of cuts and quantity returned. Modifying this value results in cut loss, which is considered as the remaining quantity of products after the recalculation.
  5. Click Add. You can add cuts for multiple lot numbers and view these lot numbers in the Lots grid. Use the Lots grid:
    • To modify the lot details, repeat steps 4 and 5 by selecting the same lot number.
    • To remove the lots, select the lots and click Remove.
  6. Click Save to return to the Cut Allocation Entry screen. The Cut check box is set to checked for the lot product in the Lines grid.
    Note: 
    • You cannot allocate the cut for the order line with the Cut check box selected.
    • If there is cut loss while saving the data, the Open Journal window is displayed wherein you must specify the details and click OK. The updated cut loss details can be viewed on the Journal Inquiry screen of Distribution SX.e.
