Managing Deliveries for Internal Rental

Delivery of an internal rental agreement is done using 'Rental Logistics Toolbox. Open' (STS140) and follows the same process for managing deliveries as for external rental.

A sorting order can be set up and used to identify the internal deliveries in (STS140). This can be done using the 'Line type' (LTYP) field as one of the selection fields configured on the sorting order.

When you report the picking list and goods receipt of the distribution order (DO), the stock balance is moved to the on-hire warehouse in the same way as for external rental. The difference between internal rental and external rental is that a requisition order (RO) is automatically created when the delivery DO of an internal agreement line reaches status 99. This RO removes the stock balance from the on-hire warehouse to perform a purchase order (PO) goods receipt on the receiving warehouse.

The reference order number on this RO is the internal rental agreement.

It is optional how to configure the level of automatization of the DO type and the RO type, but having an automatic DO receipt on the delivery DO in combination with an RO type configured with high auto level, results in no stock balance until the time of PO receipt. This can be several days, depending on the transport time between the owning division and the rental division.

One way to avoid this is to have manual goods receipt on the delivery DO and report the goods receipt just before the PO receipt is to take place.

Note: A PO receipt cannot be done until the RO is reported, and stock has been removed from the delivering on-hire warehouse.
