(Note: For more information on setting up RDI to create Defective POs, see the topic Generating POs for Defectives)
(ID# 2810) This Purchasing option in Options Configuration allows you to have a finalized Daily Inventory Update Report (RDI) create defective POs for only Policy A items purchased from your primary supplier when they are returned at POS as a defective return (return type D) or a defective exchange (return type X). You must enter your affiliate in option 2814 "RDI defective purchase order affiliate," and the vendor code used when creating the defective PO in option 2812 "RDI defective purchase order vendor code." This option requires that you have the electronic catalog for this vendor.
A = All items; one PO for all stores.
B = All items; one PO for each store.
C = Policy A items only. One PO for all stores.
(For Ace Stores only) D = One PO for all stores for policy A items, and one PO for all stores for non-policy A items.
(For Ace Stores only) E = One PO per store for policy A items, and one PO per store for non-policy A items.
(For Ace Stores only) F = All Items. One PO for all stores for policy A items. One PO for all stores for non-policy A items. PO's will be created for only the Ace vendor.
(For Ace Stores only) G = All Items. One PO per store for policy A items. One PO per store for non-policy A items. PO's will be created for only the Ace vendor.
N = Don't create defective POs.
S = Policy A items only. One PO for each store.
Set this option to A or B to have a finalized RDI create defective POs for all items when they are returned at POS as a defective return or defective exchange. If there are certain items that should never be placed on a defective PO, identify them by a user code, and then indicate on RDI which items to exclude by entering the following information in Options Configuration:
2817 "RDI--Use Code position to identify items excluded from defective POs)
2818 "RDI--Code value that identifies items excluded from defective POs
For Ace Stores only: Set to D or E to have a
finalized RDI create defective POs for all items when they are returned
at POS as a defective return (return type D) or a defective exchange (return
type X). Set to D to create one PO for all stores for policy A items,
and one PO for all stores for non-policy A items. Set to E to create one
PO per store for policy A items, and one PO per store for non-policy A
items. Also, make sure to set Option 2814 "RDI
defective purchase order affiliate"
to A if you are an Ace store and want to set this Option to D or E.
If
you want the system to create a defective PO for each of your stores,
set this option to either S or B. Otherwise, set to A or C to create a
defective PO that has defective items from all stores on one single defective
PO.
Whenever a defective PO is created by RDI, the system issues an alert. To receive this alert, set "A defective PO was created" to Yes in your Alert User Profile.
