Create Core Policy

The core policies are used to control how the customer return and supplier return records are managed.

For customer returns, this controls where the inventory cost should be taken from; how the system will recognize core attritions; how the lot number structure is used and which screen to use when performing the inspection.

For supplier returns, this controls how to combine worn or dirty remanufactured parts into one return record and what can be included (i.e. excess cores).

The policies are applied based on a control table via program 'Core Policy Selection Table. Open' (CRS161) and are not directly connected to the item number.
