Return from Production

Note! This manual is developed for the MKG004 software. If you are using MKG5, the description of the functionality may differ slightly from your environment. We aim to create a product-specific description for this topic in the future.

The screen presents all issued production order material lines. There are two ways to return materials: based on the source issuance and based on self-defined properties.

Based on the Source Issuance

• Select a material line.
• Enter the 'Return Quantity'.
• Check the production order and semi-finished product number.
• Optionally choose a different inventory location.
• Indicate whether the material line needs to be reissued after the return is booked: use this when, for example, the wrong batch (incorrect serial number) has been issued and the material requirement needs to be resolved again.

Then choose the button Process…. The screen below will be confirmed with OK after any date adjustments and with the memo field filled in.

Based on Self-Defined Properties

When material is returned that differs from what was issued, you can choose New…. An example is the laser cutting of stainless steel flanges, where the core is not disposed of as waste but can be reused as a base plate for another product. This stainless steel plate can be booked into the warehouse as a new return batch.

The screen below is automatically filled with the (source) data of the selected line:

In addition to the previously described fields, the following fields are also available for adjustment:

• Item, description, and VRM fields. These can be adjusted differently from the previous issuance.
• Source batch. Automatically filled by MKG to ensure a closed system (the new batch to be created has originated from this). It is also used for any value determination. Within the Batch Management module, the original and returned booked batches are visibly linked:

• Value based on / value. Determine the value assigned to the new batch. This value is equal to the value deducted from the work in progress of the production order:
• Net price item. Takes over the cost price data from the 'Financial' tab in Item Management.
• Last purchase price item. Takes over the last purchase invoice amount as the value.
• Material price (VRM only without item). Takes the value entered in the Material Prices module, or if not entered, from the process table 'Material Types'.
• Source batch. Determines the value based on the batch value.
• Input. Freely entered value. Can be split into the components material, outsourcing, man, and machine. MKG calculates the value of the return to be booked batch proportionally. When the choice 'Source batch' is selected and the source batch consists of 10 pieces at €500,-, booking a return of 2 pieces creates a batch with a value of €100,-. In the case of VRM items, this will be calculated based on the ratios.
• Inventory group. The total inventory can be subdivided into inventory groups. An inventory group contains information about the financial handling of the inventory. When returning material lines, this can be adjusted if it does not concern an item. Adjust the inventory group when, for example, residual material needs to be made separately (financially) visible.

After all data has been entered, choose Process…. The 'Warehouse Return Slip' screen appears and the return booking can be finalized with OK.
