Introduction

Some feed mills are managed outside the bounds of the ERP system. They operate autonomously and as such create their Purchase Orders and receive against them. This information will still need to make it into their ERP system, but having to enter this data there means double work.  CONNECT can be configured to pick up these records, create the PO and receive against it.

Prerequisites

• Valid items and vendors in ERP.

• Access in ERP to create, review and receive purchase orders.

• Security access and permissions to the feature. 

*Please reach out to Aeros Customer Support with any set up questions.  

Setup and Configuration 

Main Form → Power User → Config Features

Under Feed Mill, find and check "Create Purchase orders From Receipts" 

Open

Main Form → Feed Mill

Once this is configured, the "Feed Mill" tab will appear.

Open

Main Form → Settings → User Profiles

Grant the user permissions

Creating Batches

Main Form → Feed Mill → Create PO From Receipts

Click the "New Batch" button to open the dialog box.  This dialog will show the last time a batch was processed. Setting this date will return all staged records since the date. The value will always be defaulted to the last batch date, for continuity.  Click Import / Create Batch to Proceed.

Committing Batches

By default when records are staged they are marked to send. Unchecking records will prevent them from being sent. Clicking "Commit" will send the checked records to ERP.

When records are committed:

• A Purchase Order is created with one PO Line.

• The Purchase Order is Received and Completed.

• Inventory is Created from the Receipt.

• If the Division is configured to post inventory to GL then gl postings will be made.

Proofing the Results
