Transaction

Completing a maintenance order of a product requires components and resources that are specified by a work definition. Thus, you must specify a work definition for each maintenance order. The system defaults the work definition from the asset instance. However, if required, you can manually update/delete/add materials and resources on a maintenance order.

inoERP provides several seeded maintenance transactions to map and track the physical activities in the system. You can also define your own transaction types, journal profiles, and accounting profiles to map any unique process that is not industry standard.

To correct any wrong transaction, create a reversal transaction ex: WIP Material Return, to rectify erroneous WIP Material Issue transactions.

You can create all maintenance transactions in 2 different ways

  1. Using the transaction document
  2. Using the screen/form available for each maintenance transaction
info

In the maintenance area, the application provides several different transactions. Using a transaction document, you can create below maintenance transactions

  • WIP_MATERIAL_ISSUE
  • WIP_MATERIAL_RETURN
  • WIP_NEGATIVE_ISSUE
  • WIP_NEGATIVE_RETURN
  • INV_MOVE_TRANSACTION

The maintenance transactions are the same as the manufacturing transactions. The only difference is that several transactions, such as Completion and Return, are not allowed for a maintenance order.

Transaction Document

A transaction document consists of

  • a header
  • several lines that contain item and quantity information
  • serial details for serial controlled items
  • lot number details for lot controlled items

To create/view/update a receipt transaction doc, navigate to the "transaction doc" screen from your dashboard/favorite.

Enter the organization/transaction doc details or other criteria in the search form and click on the search button to view an existing transaction doc.

The system will show you all the transaction docs if you don't enter organization details. If your organization configures any field mandatory for search, you must enter those fields to search transaction docs.
The application will fetch all the server data and take you to the search result screen. The search result screen looks a bit different on desktop and mobile devices.

To view the search result in a table format, click on the table icon in the bottom left corner.

To view specific transaction doc details, click on the menu of that record, and click on view/fetch & view.

You can also click the expand icon against any item on the search result screen to view the transaction doc header details, such as number, quantities, start date, status, etc.

If you click on the create a new button, the system will open a simple step form to create a new transaction doc. You can click on the detail right bottom to view all the fields available for the object.

Document Type Select the document type as work order

Transaction Type Select one of the available maintenance transaction types

Scroll left, right, up, and down to view all the details. The document line and components are shown in a separate tab. The default configuration shows fields in various functional groups, such as

  • Finance
  • Entity
  • Reference
  • Data
  • Control
  • Etc

You can configure the application to show which fields should be shown under which group. You can also create new groups as per your business requirements.

Work Order
Select a work order number in the document header screen. It's an optional field. However, if you enter a value on the work order field, the app will fetch all the available lines and show them in the "Inv Transaction New Line" tab. If you don't enter any work order, you must manually add all the work order lines you want to ship in the "Inv Transaction Doc Line" tab.

Doc Lines

The document lines tab shows all the lines that are already assigned to the document header. When you confirm and create a transaction for the document, the system will use all the information on this tab to generate inventory transactions. You can also manually add a new line to the document in this tab.

If you want to default all the work order information, use the "Inv Transaction New Line" tab to add new lines to the document header. Use this tab (Doc lines) only for review/update.

You can add multiple lines to each transaction doc header. Each transaction doc line contains an item, UOM, product description, quantity, serial, and lot details.

Navigate to the lines tab to view/add/update lines.
Click on the add new entity to add a new line. If a line exists, click on copy entity to copy all the details. You can enable/disable fields allowed to be copied in the menu configuration.

Line Number: Enter a document line number.

Item: Enter an item number.

Transaction Type: A read-only field, the value defaults from the transaction type selected on the document header

Document Status: A read-only field that shows the current status of the document line. You can change the document status using the actions available on the "Actions" tab. Only lines in "validated" status are used for the inventory transaction. When the system creates a transaction against a document line, the line's status is changed to closed.

The entity group shows information related to shipping inventory organization.

The reference groups show various ids for reference only. You don't need to enter any information in this section. When you save a transaction doc for the first time, the system will auto-populate the newly created header id and line ids.

Actions

Actions allow you to change the status of the transaction doc. The system creates a transaction doc in draft status. If you are using custom approval or requesting someone else to complete the Transaction, click on the confirm button to confirm that the document is ready for a transaction. Confirmation is an optional step. You can directly create inventory transactions from draft status.

Usage of various button

If the person entering a transaction document is different from the person who physically completes the task, then the document entering person can create and confirm the document. The person who completes the physical task can complete the Transaction.

Validate
All transaction documents must be validated before the system can use them for inventory transactions. The validation process checks the document details and confirms several checks - such as enough stock is available to create an inventory transaction, etc. You can create your custom validation using javascript.
