What is a push rule?
|
||||
====================
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
The push system of inventory control involves forecasting inventory
|
||||
needs to meet customer demand. Companies must predict which products
|
||||
customers will purchase along with determining what quantity of goods
|
||||
will be purchased. The company will in turn produce enough product to
|
||||
meet the forecast demand and sell, or push, the goods to the consumer.
|
||||
Disadvantages of the push inventory control system are that forecasts
|
||||
are often inaccurate as sales can be unpredictable and vary from one
|
||||
year to the next. Another problem with push inventory control systems is
|
||||
that if too much product is left in inventory. This increases the
|
||||
company's costs for storing these goods. An advantage to the push system
|
||||
is that the company is fairly assured it will have enough product on
|
||||
hand to complete customer orders, preventing the inability to meet
|
||||
customer demand for the product.
|
||||
|
||||
A push flow indicates how locations are chained with the other ones. As
|
||||
soon as a given quantity of products is moved in the source location, a
|
||||
chained move is automatically foreseen according to the parameters set
|
||||
on the flow specification (destination location, delay, type of move,
|
||||
journal). It can be triggered automatically or manually.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
Push rules are part of the routes. Go to the menu
|
||||
:menuselection:`Inventory --> Configuration --> Settings`
|
||||
and tick **Advance routing of products using rules**.

||||

|
||||
Push rules settings
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
The push rules are set on the routes.
|
||||
Go to :menuselection:`Configuration --> Routes`.
|
||||
|
||||
In the push rule section, click on **Add an item**.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: media/push_rule02.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
Here you can set the conditions of your rule. In this example, when a
|
||||
good is in **Input location**, it needs to be moved to the quality control.
|
||||
In the 3 steps receipts, another push rule will make the goods that are
|
||||
in the quality control location move to the stock.
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Try to create a push rule in our demo instance.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Some warehouse configuration creates routes with push rules
|
||||
already defined.
|
||||
|
||||
Stock transfers
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
The push rule will trigger stock transfer. According to the rule set on
|
||||
your route, you will see that some transfers might be ready and other
|
||||
are waiting.
|
||||
|
||||
The push rule that was set above will create moves from **WH/Input**
|
||||
location to the **WH/Quality Control** location.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, another move is waiting according to the second push
|
||||
rule, it defines that when the quality control is done, the goods will
|
||||
be moved to the main stock.
