Question
How to analyze the positive and negative variance on DCS.
Answer
LPN Positive variance.
Let us say you are counting location Loc1 (which was originally empty) and
found lpn LPN1. This will create a positive variance against Loc1.
You have two
possibilities.
- LPN1 already exists in inventory at another location (Loc2)
- LPN1 does not exist in inventory.
In case of the first
scenario, on resolving the variance, system will move the LPN from Loc2 to
Loc1. There is no addition or removal
of net inventory and does not require to cancel
out anything against Cycle Bin
In second
scenario, since new inventory to be created @ Loc1, we will add equivalent
Negative inventory in Bin.
LPN Negative variance
Let us say current inv picture in system was
that Loc1 has LPN1. User counts and reports no inventory in Loc1. This will
create a Negative variance.
Now the user
accepts the variance. So we have to remove inventory from Loc1. This means it
has to be accounted against Cycle Bin. So we write to Cycle bin.
(At count in function 00510 you have
configured it to put on CH. So there will be additional transactions written at
that time. Since CH is applicable only to Negative
variance you will see that only for
Negative variance)
Loose
Negative variance
Exactly similar to LPN Negative variance. On acceptance we need
to remove the additional inventory off the location. It gets canceled off
against Cycle Bin
Loose
Positive variance
This should be similar to scenario 2 in LPN Positive variance.
On accepting the variance we create new inventory at Loc1. This should be
canceled off against Cycle Bin.
