Hello experts.. need some help to get chep pallet inventoried.
The scenario:
The company is a retail organization which have stores spread across Mexico.
It uses pallets from a particular vendor (CHEP) for their internal logistics. Tehy calls up CHEP on a regular basis to supply them with the pallets. CHEP dumps them in the distribution centers (the pallets are supplied on rent basis).
Stock of these pallets needs to be maintained in the DC. For some DC to store shipments these pallets are used as handling units.
How do we map this particular process in the system?
The steps would be:
u2022 Update inventory of pallets in the DC when supplied by CHEP (could be just a 501M)
u2022 Use these pallets for shipments from DC to store (outbound delivery with HU details, PGI) - this should update the inventory of the pallet as well in the DC
u2022 Goods receipt of the outbound delivery at the stores - this should update the inventory of the pallet in the stores (it should not be by posting another 501 M)
Any help would be very appreciable.
Regards.

Hi,
Whenver u are sending stocks to store u can create another delivery for pallets and send them to stores and stores will do the GRN . this will reduce the pallet stock in DC and increase the stock in stores.
Maintain the pallet as non UNBW type article i.e non valuated.
process will be like :
DC will do the PGI of pallets with movment type 603 to stores . Stores will do the GR with mov type 605.And stores will return the pallet to DC with mov type 603 and DC can receive the pallets with 605
So inventory of pallets can be monitored in this way.
Regards,
AM.
