On v12. Cannot find Potency management documentation
On v12. Cannot find Potency management documentation
Hi Gerald.
Here is what I have, it's from V6 but still applicable.
Pre-requisite:
Development > Data end parameters > Activity Code
Common data > Products > Products
Setup:
Common data > Products > Product – tab Controls
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:
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:
The EOQ is defined in active quantity.
The safety stock is defined in active quantity.
The BoM link quantity is defined in active quantity.
The standard costs are define for a calculation quantity expressed in active quantity.
MRP is using active quantity only :
(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)
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
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.
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.
Thank you Julien
