Weighbridge Process flow

Overview. 

The weighbridge module is used for receiving stock and delivering finished goods to end customers. Transactions are used and updated by the weighbridge to facilitate the receiving and issuing of stock as well as to record transport cost. 

The weighbridge now creates 2 x transactions for every record in the weighbridge. 

Tech Notes

• Transport costs for Goods received will be allocated as a landing cost.  see GR With Landed Cost

• Transport cost for client deliveries will be created as a normal transport cost.  see. DN with transport cost

Process.

• All processes should start with a requisition, the requisition will be used for the purchase of goods as well as the request for Transport. See Requisitions

• From the requisition we create Purchase orders for either Raw Materials or Transport services (Landing Cost).

• From the weighbridge, a GR gets created against the PO for Goods, this matches on the Order No. 

• The weighbridge will also create a GR-Landed Cost from the Purchase Order - Landed Cost.  

• The PO - LC is matched on the PO No. - Goods Field - See Purchase Order - Landed Cost.

• The GR-Landed Cost will allocate to the GR Goods as a landed Cost. 

Exception Processing - From 1st of Month to first Wednesday. 

Stock Coming In 

The client only gets the transport order on the first Wednesday of the month.  In this case there are Goods Received transactions for Goods that are created from the weighbridge that does not have a transport cost. These GR transactions can be found using the Transport - Weighbridge Links report. 

Steps to manually allocate transport. 

• Once the transport PO is created (PO - LC), we need to copy said PO - LC to a GR - LC transaction.  The GR Qty is to be updated to the Qty on the corresponding GR - Goods.

• Open the GR - Goods transactions, click Menu > Landing Cost > Allocate Landing Cost. 

• Search and select the GR-LC transaction > click next > select the item to be allocated > Select the item to be allocated to and click Allocate. 

• Navigate back to the Transport - Weighbridge Links report, re-run the report, the report will now show the Transport GR No correctly.
