Support Match Exits to Entries Action Using Finished Good Item Structure

This feature provides a new capability for trade incentive programs. Now, you can use the item structure components to Match Exit to Entries. The inventory reconciliation process will be done at the component level. This is a key capability for managing manufacturing based trade incentive programs and will allow a variety of new programs to be configured using GTM's Trade Incentive Programs capability set.

The below example shows an entry transaction line for component 20191-00:

The inventory balance is updated after executing the Record Entries into the Program Action:

Now, the exit transaction is for 60 units of finished product 0X40155. Note that the Item Structure of this finished product leverages 20191-00 as components. Each unit of finished product 0X40155 leverages 1 piece of 20191-00. 

Below the transaction line:

After executing the Match Exits to Entries Action, the inventory balance for the item 20191-00 has been reduced by 60 and the inventory status changed to PARTIALLY RECONCILED.

Business Benefit

Reducing automatically inventory of components under a trade incentive program enhance improves operational agility and reduce the risks of Customs duties and fines.
