Assigning Receipt Routes to Items

Access the Supplier/Item Relationships form.

Normal Route Code

Enter a value from UDC 43/RC that identifies a receipt route. Each receipt route consists of a series of operations through which the system directs items upon receipt.

Alt Route Code (alternate route code)

Enter a value from UDC 43/RC that identifies an alternate receipt route. Each receipt route consists of a series of operations through which the system directs items upon receipt.

An item can have a normal receipt route and an alternate receipt route. The system directs an item through the alternate receipt route intermittently based on the number of days or number of receipts that you specify.

Route Type Code

Enter a code that qualifies the routing for an item and supplier combination.

Frequency Days

Enter a number that determines how often the system directs an item to the alternate receipt route, based on days. For example, you enter 3 in this field. If January 1 was the last date for the alternate receipt route, the system directs the next receipt performed on or after January 4 to the alternate receipt route.

Frequency Number

Enter a number that determines how often the system directs an item to the alternate receipt route, based on receipts. For example, if you enter 5 in this field, the system directs every fifth receipt of the item to the alternate receipt route.
