Shelf Life Flag checkbox

Days - This field is displayed when the Shelf Life Flag checkbox is selected. The number of days related to the shelf life of this part. This will automatically calculate the shelf life date at Receiving.

When this checkbox is selected, the UN Number and Web Link fields to the right of the checkbox are activated for data entry. The Hazardous Material at Removal checkbox is also available when this checkbox is selected.

Poisson Factor

The service level required for the part (which is taken into account for Re-Order calculations). The specific calculation rate is set in this System Tran Code option for each level (80%, 90%, 95% etc.). If this field is used, the system will factor this into the Re-Order Levels. See the System Tran Code (Poisson Factor) Section for additional information. The Poisson Factor field must contain a valid code in Order for the system to make correct Re-Order Level calculations. If the Poisson Factor field is left blank, the system will not make a calculation for that particular P/N. Alternatively, the user may prefer the set-up re-order levels in Inventory Levels. For additional information, please refer to the Inventory Level button section of this manual.

Cycle Count Code

The method to be used when counting this part during the periodic Inventory counts at your facility. Cycle Count Codes are used to determine the frequency at which specific P/Ns are counted at your facility during the Physical Inventory Procedure. Once a part has been assigned a Cycle Count Code, that part will be counted at the appropriate frequency when performing the Physical Inventory Procedure. When using the Physical Inventory Generation option, if you select the “Cycle Count” checkbox, the list will only display parts that are associated with a Cycle Count code. Please refer to the Inventory manual for information regarding performing the Physical Inventory Procedure. Please refer to the Physical Inventory Generation via the Inventory Training manual for additional information regarding performing the Physical Inventory Procedure. Please refer to the Settings manual, Special System Transaction Codes section for additional information regarding setting up the Cycle Count Code if required.
