Logisticbus Records

This helppage explains how Autoline parts movements are translated to records in the LOGISTICBUS interface file.

One should have the Check part tab from the LOGISTICBUS Interface active, the other session should have Movements tab the Stockrecord in the Stock Management active. Of course bopth sessions should have the same partnumber entered in the screen.

Lost Sale

A Lost Sale is not (yet) visible on the Movement tab of a stock record but can be seen on the Demand tab.

The Demand tab shows only the total quantity of parts indicated as lost sale and the total of times a part has been indicated as a lost sale because of the price. The Logisticbus Interface creates a R48A record in case of a lost sale and also keeps track of the number of requests that match the lost sale in case of a lost sale - quantity.

A Lost Sale is registered in the Point of Sale module when parts have been put on the WIP and they have not been saved. In that case the Select Item for Menu form is displayed.

In case the Availability or the Price option is selected, the Lost Sales are processed on the stock record.

Lost Sales are indicated in yellow on the Check Part tab and the Details Batch tab of the Logistic bus Interface.

Stock checking

In case of a change to the stock file due to a stock check, the account number will contain @Check. This will trigger a stock check record to be sent.
