10.3 NFI Receipt
Post Good Receipt against PO for NFI and POWM
Post Good Receipt for items to be received under WHITE STOCK balances
Upon release of PONFs (and eventual POWMs for External Partners) which contains items available under the WHITE STOCK balances, the storekeepers have to issue the GR and produce the IR (even if the availability of WHITE STOCK covers only a portion of the total quantity procured – as in this case -). As usual, Procurement and Finance have to be informed that the GR has been issued, and signed Inspection Report have to be submitted to them and archived in the LOGISTICS files as well. When GR is posted, the Logistics officer or the storekeeper inform the SAN (Support Across the Network) unit asking for the decrease of WHITE STOCK balances accordingly with the quantity posted in the GR. To be noted that in case of procurement for external Partners, SAN unit decrease the stock only when the GR against the related POWM will be posted (meaning items will be received in WMS). The stock decrease is totally not-linked to the GR posted, meaning that it is crucial to communicate to SAN unit that the GR has been posted; When the reductions of WS figures are posted, SAN unit informs Procurement as unit responsible of the management of WS.
In case of procurement from WHITE STOCK the following steps applies:
Physically: • in case storage by ownership is applied, move the items from WHITE STOCK’s bins to Owner’s bins (meaning the Partner mentioned as WBS element in the Account Assignment tab of the PONF/POWM).
• In case optimization of storage space is applied (items are stored based on material category rather than by Ownership), no physical transfer is required but just re-labeling of the units to show that they are not part of WHITE STOCK anymore but property of the Owner specified in the Account Assignment tab of the PONF/POWM (in case barcoding is adopted, the label will be produced by the system automatically as consequence of the step below
• In case Customs references is applied, this information does not have to be changed as the Customs status of the items does have to comply with
System-wise: • Create the Transfer Order that is generated after the above GR posting to complete the putaway from the ‘receiving area’ (standard incoming procedure) even if in reality the items are moved from the WS area.
