Materials stocked by size or colour now carry the variant from the purchase requisition to the goods issue and into the reports.
Planning and Component Consumption per Variant
Material planning now counts open requisitions, purchase orders, stock and reorder points per variant, and a combined production order is no longer counted once per size.
- Components can take the parent's variant, a mapped variant or a fixed one; unresolved components are reported, never defaulted.
- Production reservations, goods issue, back-flush and sub-contract issue and return carry the component variant.
Cover, Open PO and Ageing Reports per Variant
Stock cover, open purchase order and inventory ageing reports can now be read by variant.
Variant-wise Stock and Reclassification
Materials set to require variant stock control now hold stock, batches and ledger entries per variant. Stock can be reclassified from one variant to another without any accounting entry, and a variant stock matrix shows the position by size and colour. Materials that do not require it post exactly as before.
Variant on Requisitions, RFQs, Purchase Orders and Receipts
Purchase requisition, RFQ, purchase order, sub-contract component and vendor invoice lines can now name a variant. The variant is carried through goods receipt (one batch per variant) and return.
- Variant grids on the requisition and purchase order dialogs, and receive-by-variant on the goods receipt.
- Per-variant supplier pricing and shade codes, with a maintenance screen.
