5 Material that was overstocked, damaged, or defective can be returned to vendors for credit. The VENDOR RETURN module is used to report those items that need to be returned, to generate vendor returns for those items, and to add items to existing vendor returns. The following table indicates the steps necessary to process vendor returns. The module(s) where each step occurs is noted. Steps Print a Vendor Return Report Generate a vendor return Add to the vendor return Edit or cancel the vendor return Print the vendor return Confirm the vendor return Enter the vendor's credit Module VENDOR RETURN VENDOR RETURN VENDOR RETURN EXPEDITE RETURN VENDOR RETURN-PRINT MATERIAL PAYABLES MAIN MENU The Print option is used to print a vendor return requirements report. It lists items with surplus stock and suggested return quantities, based upon your specified vendor return parameters. 5

6 The Generate option is used to generate vendor returns. Vendor Return Generation allows you to return any stock or non-stock item to a specific vendor. When you generate a vendor return for a nonstock item, the system creates a code 5 on the Nonstock Adjustments Register. This represents the increase in the non stock inventory value by having forced the allocation of the non-stock item onto a vendor return. The Add option is used to add items to existing vendor returns, as needed. The Report option is used to generate vendor returns based on the requirements in a specific vendor returns requirements report. Each of these options is described in detail on the following pages. PRINT A VENDOR RETURN REQUIREMENTS REPORT COMPANY: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX * Vendor Returns * Vendor return requirement Report Options 1. Process specific vendors 2. Process a range of vendors 3. Process specific product groups 4. Process a range of product groups OPTION: Prior to printing a Vendor Return Requirements Report, you may specify a purchase group under the Defaults menu option. This allows the main purchasing location to review which items could be returned for a group of locations. The Vendor Return Requirements Report be run for specific vendors or product groups, or for a range of vendors or product groups. 6

Only VENDOR CLASSES in the specified range are processed. Only items in the specified VENDOR SUB-GROUP are processed. Only items with PURCHASE CLASSES in the specified ranges are processed. Average Monthly Usage is one of the elements used by the system in calculating an item's surplus stock. You can set the USAGE FACTOR to temporarily modify the Average Monthly Usage by a given multiplier during the calculation. The default value for the Factor is A Usage Factor of , for example, acts to increase Monthly Usage by 20%. Safety stock (in days) is an extra supply of inventory to allow for variation in demand and lead time. DAYS SAFETY is used only in the absence of a set value in the Item and Vendor Records. In obtaining a number of days, the system looks first to the item, then to the vendor, and lastly to this parameter. COST RATE represents an annual cost to keep multiplier. A Cost Rate of 0.30, for example, reflects an annual cost to keep of 30%. The Item Usage/Purchase Parameters in the Company Record, include a Cost Rate field which allows you to set a default value for this field. If the value in the Company Record is zero (0), the Cost Rate defaults to.3. ORDER POINT EXCEPTION % only applies to items set up on an UPTO or EOQ basis. It allows items that are not yet at their Order Point, but are within a given percentage, to be included tells the system to show all items, regardless of purchase method and regardless of whether they have surplus stock or not. You analyze the report and decide what you want to return. 9

10 The Order Point of items is incremented by the specified percentage so that surplus stock is decreased by the % amount. A NULL response tells the system to show only those items with surplus stock. You can choose a BRIEF Requirements Report if so desired. SAVE TO REPORT FILE is used to optionally save the report to a special report file. A system-assigned reference number is assigned to the report. This allows the purchasing agent to recall the report for vendor return generation purposes. Note: You cannot use this Vendor Return report generation function if you have set a purchase group in the defaults. Group returns can be reviewed, however, a group return purchase order cannot be generated. PURCHASING TYPE is used to determine how return requirements are calculated for the purchasing group. It is automatically set to the value specified in the Company Record unless edited. A indicates that the net stock of all locations in the group are added together. The requirements for the group are then calculated using the purchasing method of the location doing the purchasing. B indicates that the purchase method of each location in the group is used to calculate its own requirements. All of these requirements are then added together to become the requirements for the group. SHOW ALL LOCATIONS only applies when the Purchasing Type is set to B. It allows you to show all locations on the report (not just those with a surplus quantity). This will allow a manual review of all locations when making vendor return decisions. You can choose to INCLUDE ITEM HISTORY if so desired. LOC indicates that item history for all locations is included. COMP indicates that only company-wide item history is included. NO indicates that no item history is included. If INCLUDE ITEM HISTORY is set to LOC or COMP, you can specify what item history INFO is shown. If INCLUDE ITEM HISTORY is set to NO, no item history is included. DMND indicates that only DEMAND is shown. HITS indicates that only HITS are shown. BOTH indicates that both DEMAND and HITS are shown. The message VENDOR RETURN REQUIREMENT REPORT GENERATION IN PROGRESS is displayed below FIELD while the report is being generated. 10

11 VENDOR RETURN REQUIREMENT REPORT: SAMPLE REVW TIME and LEAD TIME are obtained from the Vendor Review Record. The LEAD TIME SOURCE field of the Vendor Review Record indicates the source (USE VEND) or (USE ITEM) from which the system pulls a LEAD TIME figure when doing surplus stock calculations. VENDOR PURCHASING INSTRUCTIONS are obtained from the Vendor Record. PACKAGE SIZE is obtained from the Item Record. If this field is O, then the Purchase Size field is used. PACKAGE WEIGHT is calculated as the item's weight for the suggested return quantity. Purchase CLASS is obtained from the Item Record. Stock status (QTY-FREE, QTY-PROTECT, and BACKORDERED) is obtained from the Item Record. 11

12 MONTHLY USAGE is obtained from the Item Record. PURCHASE METHOD is obtained from the Item Record. ORDER POINT and ORDER QUANTITY are calculated for the EOQ and Order Up-To methods, and obtained from the Item Record for the Order Point/Order Quantity and MIN/MAX methods. LEAD TIME is obtained from either the Item Record or the Vendor Review Record and is factored by the Lead Time Safety factor obtained from the Vendor Review Record. The value shown is the value after factoring. SAFETY STOCK DAYS is obtained from the Item, Vendor, or Purchasing parameters. If the Item is 0, Vendor is used. If the Vendor is 0, Purchasing is used. Safety Stock Days is factored by the appropriate Safety Factor field in the Item Class Record for the given purchase class, depending on usage volume. DAYS SUPPLY specifies the number of days supply: Monthly Usage QTY-FREE divided by 30 SURPLUS stock is the Net Stock (Free + On PO + In Transit - Backordered) that is excess of: Order Point + Economic Order Quantity, for purchase method EOQ # of months supply or Order Point (whichever is greater), for purchase method UPTO Maximum Quantity, for purchase method MNMX Order Point + Order Quantity, for purchase method OPOQ RETURNED PACKAGES is the recommended return quantity expressed in terms of packages. NET$/PACKAGE is the calculated cost of a single package. EXTENDED-COST is the calculated cost of the return packages. 12
