    Hi Gerald.

    Here is what I have, it's from V6 but still applicable.


    Pre-requisite:

    Development > Data end parameters > Activity Code

    • TIT activity code should be set as active.

    Common data > Products > Products

    • The product should be managed with lot.

    Setup:

    Common data > Products > Product – tab Controls

    • To plan the potency it’s possible to set a theoretical potency (in %) on the product level.
    • Because the potency is a stock characteristics, it’s possible to define potency on the lot (or sub-lot) in stock.

    Note: Tables STOCK and STOJOU contain the active quantity and the physical quantity.

    Calculation principle:

    Active quantity = physical quantity x potency percentage of the lot (or sub-lot)

    Limit:

    • Sold product could not be potency managed.
    • Manufactured product should not be potency managed.
    • Subcontracted product should not be potency managed.

    So, only raw material could be managed in potency (product purchased and only used as a component in the manufacturing process).

    Potency is a lot (or sub-lot) characteristic, so if the same product-lot (or product-lot-sub/lot) combination is stored on several sites, they must share the same potency. And if a site change the potency on a lot, then the change will affect every site with the same product-lot (or product-lot-sub/lot) combination.

    Usage:

    • Product

    The EOQ is defined in active quantity.

    The safety stock is defined in active quantity.

    • BOM

    The BoM link quantity is defined in active quantity.

    • Product-costs

    The standard costs are define for a calculation quantity expressed in active quantity.

    • MRP

    MRP is using active quantity only :

    •   MWS/P/F are made in active quantity
    •   POS are made in active quantity

    (The problem is when a POP/F is generated through a POS, then the purchase quantity is expressed in active quantity instead of the physical quantity - This could be managed by the user in Entry Point BEFWRIMWS in FUNCBNA. This leads as well to incorrect project stock because it combined POS quantity in active quantity with POF quantity - expressed in physical quantity)

    • Purchasing flow

    A purchase order is done in physical quantity (POP & POF), at the receipt the two quantities will be managed :

    o Physical quantity = Quantity in the purchasing flow

    o Active quantity = Physical quantity x lot potency

    • Manufacturing flow

    In a work order, the quantity required on the component are expressed in active quantities. (as the BoM)

    In the weighing module, the quantity to weigh is physical quantity X unit weight. In addition, we do manage excipient to compensate for potency differences between materials.

    At the material consumption tracking, the quantity to track is expressed in active quantity but when a lot is selected the quantity to issue are expressed in physical quantity.

    • Inventory flow

    All the stock movement are managed in physical quantity, but the information of the active quantity of the stock line is always tracked. Therefore, it’s possible at the material consumption tracking, to convert the required active quantity into the reel physical quantity required.
