Field or Control

Description

Staging ID

If Canceled appears after the staging ID, the items are the result of a canceled order that was picked but not shipped. If Short Shipment appears after the staging ID, the items are the result of a short shipment. In both cases, you must now put the items away.

Total Staged

The number of items staged.

Total in Error

The number of items that were in error during the staging process. Staged items with errors do not appear on this page.

Error Detail

Click to access the Correct Staged Errors page, where you can correct staging errors. All staging errors should be corrected before you run the Complete Putaway process. If this link is not available, no errors need correction.

Default Container ID and Container ID

To assign all or most of the items in the staging ID to the same container ID, enter the default container ID. This default appears for all items in the plan for which a container ID has not already been specified. Override the default for any item that you want to assign to another container.

Print

Click to print the Material Putaway Plan by Staging ID report, which lists the pending putaway lines.

Note: Make sure that you save the page first.

Description

Storage Location

The putaway material storage location that the Load Staged Items process assigns or specifies during receiving.

Note: The business unit's default display options determine how many location levels appear for new rows. If you are entering a material storage location that requires additional levels, enter the storage area, then refresh the page to display the remaining levels for that area.

Container ID and Container Sequence

Enter a container ID to assign the item to a container. If you are assigning the item to an existing container, leave the Container Seq field blank.

If the business unit allows automatic generation of container IDs, you can assign multiple items to the same new container by defining the container ID as NEXT and entering a container sequence number. The system puts all items with the same container sequence into the same container.

Quantity and Base Qty (base quantity)

Enter the received quantity and select a stocking UOM. If the stocking UOM differs from the standard UOM, the system converts the entered quantity to the standard UOM and displays the base quantity. For serial-controlled items, the quantity must be 1 and the stocking UOM must be the same as the standard UOM. You cannot modify the UOM for serial-controlled items or for items staged from PeopleSoft Manufacturing.

Lot ID

Enter a lot ID if the item is lot-controlled. If the business unit does not allow the automatic addition of new lots, create the new lot before adding a lot ID here.

Config Code (configuration code)

Select the appropriate configuration code if the item is also configured.

Serial ID

If the item is serial-controlled, the assigned serial ID appears. This field is display-only and cannot be changed here.

Comments

Enter a comment using up to 254 characters for the putaway plan. These comments will print on the Putaway Plan report (INC3500). This report is written in Oracle BI Publisher using the XMLP report name INX3500.

Storage Rules

Displays the storage rule used.

PO Number, Purchase Lot, Src BU, Receipt No, Receipt Line, Purchase Order Date, supplier ID, Receiver Shipping Sequence, Distribution Line, and Distribution Sequence

Displays values that come from a purchase order if the transaction source is Purchasing. Otherwise these fields are not displayed.

Note: For items staged from PeopleSoft Purchasing receipts, PeopleSoft Manufacturing completions, RMAs, or interunit receipts, you can split the quantity among multiple locations, but you cannot update the overall quantity. To change the overall putaway quantity for items staged from PeopleSoft Purchasing, update the original receipt quantity using the Receiving component.

Use the Alternate Plan page (PUTAWAY_ALT_INV) to search for and select an alternate putaway material storage location for any item in a staging ID.
