This page allows you to record the material loss details

The system displays the following field in the “Stock Transfer Receipt Information” group box:

Material Loss #

The number identifying the material loss document. This number is generated by the system based on the numbering type, at the time of creating the material loss document.

Recorded Date

The date on which the material loss is created (Date Format). Mandatory. This date must be earlier than or the same as the system date.  By default, system displays the current date.

Numbering Type

Use the drop-down list box to select the numbering type for generating the Material Loss document number. The system lists all the active numbering types defined for the “Material Loss” transaction in the “Create Numbering Class“ activity of the “Document Numbering Class” business component.

Note: You must not select a numbering type that is mapped to a group company, if material loss is being created for the login company.

However, if you are creating the material loss for a warehouse exclusively mapped to a group company and, if "Separate Numbering Type for Trading Partner Transactions" between the login company and the group company is ‘1’ in the Maintain Options for Partner Transactions activity of Organization Setup, the system automatically generates the material loss # on creation based on the numbering type set for the Material Loss transaction between these companies in the same activity. If "Separate Numbering Type for Trading Partner Transactions" is set as ‘0’, you can select the numbering type for generating the material loss #.

Material Loss Category

Use the drop down list box to select the category of the material loss. The system lists all the “Active” quick codes for the Quick Code Type “Loss Category” as defined in the “Create Quick Codes”. The system displays “Blank” by default.

User Status

Use the drop-down list box to assign a user-defined status for the material loss. The system lists all the “Active” quick codes for the Quick Code Type “Loss User Status” as defined in the “Create Quick Codes” activity.  The system leaves the field blank by default.

Costing Usage

Use the drop down list box to select the costing usage. The system lists all the “Active” user defined “Usages” which are mapped to a Cost Center as defined in the “Cost Center Rule Definition” business component. The system displays “Blank” by default.

Note: You must select costing usage from the drop-down list box, if the loss is related to a group company and, if "Enable Automatic Accounting for Inventory Transactions on behalf of Dest. Company" is set between the login organization and the group company.

The system displays the following fields:

Status

The status of the material loss document that could be “Fresh”  or “Confirmed” or “Cancelled”

Total Lost Value

The total value of the material loss.

Receiving Warehouse #

The number identifying the warehouse in which the parts are to be received.

Note: The system retrieves and displays the trading partner details from the reference stock transfer order document.
