CERES5.00.17 - Advanced Kitting Enhancements

Service Request or Support: SR-0002564

Issue addressed: 

1. A kit cannot be disassembled if it has been moved from its original output bin. The Suggest Disassembly process creates the disassembly BOM Journal line with the Bin Code to which the output was created. If all or a portion of the output is moved to a different bin, Ceres will not allow for its disassembly. 

2. A kit cannot be disassembled if it has been partially distributed. This is by design. Maintaining cost and weight are central to the BOM assembly and disassembly processes. The cost and weight of the component items that were used to output a given lot are blended when viewed at the output level. If some portion of the output is distributed, it cannot be known which component lots (or how much of their quantity) was “virtually” distributed. Thus it cannot be known which lots (or how much of their quantity) to credit back.

This release presents a change in system usage methodology. The following procedure documents were updated accordingly.

1. Advanced Kitting Overview.docx

Resolution: With respect to Kit Disassembly, Ceres was enhanced according to the following:

1. If the entirety of the output resides in a singular bin, allow creation of a single disassembly BOM Journal Line with the Bin Code being set to the Bin Code where the output pallets currently resides (not the Bin Code to which they were output).

2. If the output has been partially moved (e.g. one of ten pallets have been moved to a Bin other than that of the original output Bin), then the Suggest Disassembly process will create one disassembly BOM Journal line per unique Bin or require that the entirety of the output be consolidate to a single bin before the Suggest Disassembly process can be run.
