Disposition Recording

When you deliver products on loads for which you track in-transit inventory, you might have product left on board after the deliveries are made. This can occur for a bulk product, for example, if the customer's tank is full and cannot accept all of the product. Or, for a packaged product, the customer might not be able to physically accommodate the stock. You must record what happens to the disposition of the remaining product.

When recording product disposition, you can:

• Designate that the remaining product be returned to a tank at the depot or to a certain location in inventory.

• Designate that the remaining product be left on board the vehicle and used on the next load.

• Record a gain or loss of the product during the delivery, such as that which is due to spillage or evaporation.

  Note: Recording a gain or loss is an option only for bulk products. Packaged products cannot directly record a gain or loss in the system. For packaged products that are lost or damaged, return the product to inventory and then use normal inventory functions to scrap or write off the product.

To record a disposition for a load, the load must meet these conditions:

• The load must be tracked as in-transit inventory.

• The status of the load must be advanced to delivered or greater.

• If product is left on board for the next load, the load must be a compartmentalized load type.

• The Left-On-Board Disposition Allowed option must be activated for the load type in the Load Constants.

After the disposition of a load is determined, and depending on the disposition, the system updates three tables:

• If the remaining product is returned to inventory, the system updates the Item Ledger File table (F4111).

• If product is left on board, the system updates the Load In-Transit Left on Board table (F49632).

• If a gain or loss is recorded for a load, the system updates the Gain/Loss Transactions File table (F41512).
