Dear all
When we retrieve a sample during in-process inspections, we simply settle those quantities with the yield of the process order. But in the rest of the cases, the samples retrieved are obtained even from finished products. Unluckily these are not small flasks, but bags of several kilograms. As you can imagine, some kilos here and there and if you do not book it, the inspection lot quantities feed the sales ATP, and this feeds the batch determination, then the delivery note, then the transport freight, and the customer receives quantities that are not realistic, because he is missing some kilos.
In the past, there was a monthly transfer posting to a cost center related to sampling. Now the business does not want to proceed like this. Which other solution could be proposed? The business goal is to be realistic with the booking and posting of the quantities used during sampling and inspection. If we used 12, good, we post 12. Now they remove these quantities but it goes to the customer with some kilos less.
A monthly posting of this differences will not be used. For each inspection lot, they should be able to post quantities used in sampling and inspection. This is even more when they have doubts and they have to pull several samples for a single inspection.
Thank you and good weekend!
