Moving Completed End Items and Assigning Serial and Lot Numbers
To define default putaway locations, use the Default Putaway Locations (DEFAULT_LOCATION) component. Use the DEFAULT_LOCATION_CI to load data into the tables for this component.
Once you have recorded completions for the last operation sequence on the operation list, you can move the completed end items:
To predefined stores locations within PeopleSoft Inventory.
Use this method when you want to put away completed end items to default stores locations defined in PeopleSoft Inventory. After completing the last operation, use the Completions/Scrap Update process. There is no need to use the Route-To PID/Stor Locations scroll area unless you need to identify serial numbers, lots, or containers.
To other production areas to fulfill component requirements and relieve shortages out on the shop floor.
Use the Route-To PID/Stor Locations scroll area to move the completed end items.
To a specific location where you want to stock the completed end item.
Use the Route-To PID/Stor Locations scroll area to specify the location.
To a production ID, if the end item is a component on a higher-level end item using the Kit issue method.
This bypasses the putaway process into inventory. You can use the Route-To PID/Stor Locations scroll area to specify the production ID.
In addition, select the serial number for the appropriate assembly that is being completed and moved.
For serial genealogy production, you must enter the specific serial ID that is being completed. If the serial ID has not previously been associated, you are given the option to create the association.
If you're assigning a lot or serial number for teardown outputs that were based on an original production ID's components, the system compares the new lot or serial number to the original component serial or lot numbers and issues a warning if they are different.
Note: If the assembly is serial in production and you are tearing out a serial ID that has not been issued to this assembly, you receive this message: "Tearing out more than has been issued to the original assembly serial. Okay to continue?" Double-check the quantity and serial ID. Click OK to continue or cancel to change information. The edit check is only looking one level deep, not through all the nested subassemblies.
Route-To PID/Stor Locations
When you route to a production ID, the system checks that:
The item being completed is a component of the production ID parent item.
The issue method is Kit.
The production ID status is Released or In Process.
The shortage quantity is greater than zero.
When routing an end item to another production ID from a production ID, you needn't run any putaway processes. The system automatically updates the issue quantity for the component on the target production ID as well as the quantity completed for the source production ID.
However, if you're routing the end item to a production ID from a production schedule, you still need to run the Completions Update process to update the production information for the production schedule, either at save time or as a deferred process.
Note: You cannot route waste by-products. They are expensed in the same manner as scrapped end items.
Capacity Checking
You activate weight and volume capacity checking on the PeopleSoft Inventory Options page. You can define the capacity for each storage location on the Volume/Weight Capacity page, which you can access from the Material Storage Locations page.
If the item is designated as an isolate item on the Inventory-Shipping/Handling page in the Define Business Unit Item component, the item can only be put away or transferred to empty storage locations or to locations containing stock with the same item ID. The system prevents you from putting away an isolate item to a location with other items.
If you designate a storage location as storing only one item on the Volume/Weight Capacity page, the system only puts away material with that item ID in the location. If you do not specify an item ID for a single-item storage location, the first putaway transaction to the empty storage location defines the only item ID that the location can contain until the item quantity has been fully depleted.

To move completed end items to a stores or other inventory location, complete these tasks using PeopleSoft Inventory:
Run the Load Staged Items process.
The system suggests the location where the end item should be put away. If you have entered a location on the Route-To PID/Stor Locations scroll area, the system stocks the completed end items in the specified location. If you select Flag Items for Autoputaway, you can bypass the Stockroom Feedback process and run the Putaway page. To streamline the process, you can run the multistep process using PeopleSoft Inventory Auto Putaway.
Run the Stockroom Feedback process.
This page enables you to change the location suggested by the load staged items process.
If you're satisfied with the putaway location suggested by the system, you must first select the putaway check box, if it is not selected.
Then click Putaway to initiate the putaway process.
If necessary, change the location, and then click Putaway to initiate the putaway process.
If you selected Flag Items for Autoputaway on the Load Staged Items page, you do not need to run the Stockroom Feedback process.
Run the Putaway page.
This processing page updates the stock location with the quantity received from the WIP location.
Putaway at Receipt Save Time
Use this option to initiate the putaway process after you have recorded completions and saved the page. This method creates a schedule process that automatically initiates the putaway process.
