Setting Up Additional Item and Depot Information

Access the Additional System Info form and click the Depot/Product Information tab.

Strategic Volume

Enter the government-mandated, strategic stock level assigned to the depot for a specific product. The system displays a warning message when the stock level falls below government-required minimums.

Replenishment Type

Specify the replenishment type that indicates the method of supply, for example, blended product, purchased product, or filled product. The Replenishment Type field is also used in conjunction with the blend and fill categories. A blended product requires a blend category. A filled product requires a fill category. A purchased product prevents the use of either a blend or fill category. Values for replenishment type are:

B: Blended products

F: Filled products

P: Purchased product

Blend Category

Enter a UDC (39/BC) that indicates the valid product groups (or categories) that can be put into a specific blending tank. It is used to specify compatible or incompatible groups for blended stock items and blending equipment (tanks).

Fill Category

Enter a UDC (39/FC) that identifies the different filling categories. Fill categories are used to specify compatible/incompatible groups for filled stock items and filling equipment. This field also identifies the different types of fillings (for example DRUM, TIN) and matches a filling of a particular stock item against the equipment (filling line) used.

Hydrometer Correction

Select to indicate that this product must include the appropriate stem correction for the thermal expansion of the glass hydrometer. Clear to indicate that this product does not include the appropriate stem correction for the thermal expansion of the glass hydrometer.

Gantry/Load Rack Flag

Select to indicate that a gantry (loading rack) is used. Clear to indicate that a gantry (loading rack) is not used.

Auto Warehouse

Select to indicate that this product at this depot will be used by an automated warehouse system. Clear to indicate that this product at this depot will not be used by an automated warehouse system.

Air Correction

Select to indicate that an air correction must be applied in the volume-to-weight conversion. The weight in air of a liquid differs from its mass (weight in a vacuum) because of the effects of air buoyancy. Thus, the calculation changes slightly if an air correction is required. Clear to indicate that an air correction is not applied in the volume-to-weight conversion.

Auto Batch Blend

Select to indicate that this product at this depot will be used by an automated batch blending system. Clear to indicate that this product at this depot will not be used by an automated batch blending system.
