<h1>Station Item KP Report</h1>

Column - Average Consumption

The 'Average Consumption' column is the Historical Consumption which is derived from the latest station par level 'Trend Average Daily Consumption' figure.

The Historical Consumption is calculated as follows:

(Item par level Trend Avg Daily Consumption * Elapsed Days†) / No. of Counts††

<u>Where:</u><br>
† Elapsed days = days between first and last count dates.<br>
<br>
†† No. Of Counts = within that Trend Span 1 of days for that station's item

The station par level "Trend Averaged Daily Consumption" figure is determined when a count is approved; in other words, the par level record is updated from the newly approved station inventory count.

Trend Avg Daily Consumption = (First Count Qty† – Current Count Qty + (Total Receipts – Total Returns)) / Days††

<u>Where:</u><br>
† First Count Qty = the oldest approved reported inventory figure for counts within the considered trend span period, e.g. the the earliest reported inventory count figure from the last 180 days.<br>
<br>
†† days between first and last count within the trend days

<b>NOTE:</b> The Trend span can be set in 3 ways:

a) There is an organisation attribute 'TREND_AVG_DAYS' for the Airline.

b) It is set on the station count category.

c) If its not set in either places detailed above then the trend ppan defaults to 180 days

__TOC__

Once a station has submitted a Requisition
* which they manually created, or
* which they reviewed after automatic generation
as the station provisioning manager you will receive an alert message asking you to validate the requistion for approval.‎<br />

The Requistion Approval pages allow you perform this validation: to check, possibly edit and finally '''approve or reject''' a requisition.‎<br />
If approved, station replenishment orders will be generated for the warehouse/s (Delivery Order) and/or to supplier/s (direct Purchase Order / Call-Off).

<h1>Requisitions awaiting Approval</h1>

use this menu trail to access the list of requisitions to be approved for the stations assigned to you:

[[File:Menutrailapprreq.png]]

----

[[File:Req2apprview.png]]

The list shows not only requistions in status 'awaiting approval'; but all editable requisistions past the review stage before their completion‎<br />(for SAP centric clients some requistion data remain editable post approval).

Use the '''filter and sort options''' to find the Requisition you need to approve.‎<br />You can use the drop down ([[file:Dropdown2.png]]) to quickly check the stock items in the Requisition.

To '''edit''' the requistion detail and eventually proceed with requistion approval/rejection, click the pencil icon [[file:20200527 Edit.png]].

<h1>Validation of a Requisition for Approval</h1>

Within the Requisition you will see ''non-editable'' '''header information''':‎<br />
requisiton number (unique ID), origin (how the requistion was created), weights/volumes (for 'approved' it updates automatically) and station comments.‎<br />The 'requested date' and 'preferred transport mode' can or need ''to be edited''.

[[File:Req2apprheader.png|1000px|]]

* '''Required Date''' - The date the order needs to arrive at the station<br />
* '''Preferred Transport Mode''' - Depending on 'station item' config there may be >1 MOT, SkyLog changes the mode automatically based on the 'required date'<br />
* '''Comment''' - you can add on to the station comment<br />
* '''Client Order Note''' - optional field for client referencing or other comments

In the '''detail section''' the order line items are list (this guide explains requisitions with status 'awaiting approval', the columns shown on the grid vary for manual Requisitions and for SAP-centric accounts):

[[File:Req2apprdetail.png|1500px|]]

This sample screen is for an <U>automatic</U> generated requisition for a <U>non-SAP centric</U> account:<br />

* '''item code, description & stock unit''' - core stock item data (click on the item code hyperlink to see the stock item summary)<br />
* '''quantity suggested''' - the quantity required to meet demand and secure sufficient coverage into the next replenishment cycle; this is calculated by automatic requisitions only<br />
use the drop down ([[file:Dropdown2.png]]) on the left from the item code to see how this quantity is calculated<br />
* '''quantity requested''' - the quantity the station places the order for<br />
* '''quantity approved''' - the quantity that you approve to process the order<br />
* '''direct delivery''' - station item setting for how to replenish. 'no' => supply from warehouse (holding xy free stock); 'yes' => place purchase order with supplier<br />
* '''Preferred Transport Mode''' - MOT for the line item (depending on the 'required date' the line item must arrive at the station to avoid stock-out, may differ from header date)<br />
* '''ship days''' - the duration assigned to the respective mode of transport (MOT), this is set in the station defaults for the corresponding station item<br />
* '''quantity in transit''' - any shipments for the line item destined to the station (click on the number hyperlink to see transit shipment details)<br />
* '''Preferred Transport Mode''' - MOT for the order line item (can be different than in header)<br />
* '''Source override''' - option to change the default setting for the source warehouse (applicable only where multiple warehouses can supply the station item)<br />
* '''Comment''' - observations made by the system (can be overwritten by station and station provisioning manager)<br />
* '''item required date''' -the date the order line must arrive at the station to prevent falling below safety stock level; calculated by automatic requisitions only<br />

<b>NOTE:</b> If the requisition was created automatically, if you expand a row on the requisition, you will see a section titled: "Explain Forecast" - in that section, you will see a label "Expected Date of Delivery After This One (End of Forecast Period)". A date may or may not be presented against it; if no date is displayed, you may see "Unknown" - this means that SkyLog has been unable to accurately determine a value (date) due to the configuration of the station par level; SkyLog cannot accurately determine a future expected delivery date if <b>"How is the item to be Requisitioned"</b> is set to either <i>Manual</i> or <i>Event</i>.

Other grid columns are shown for requisitions generated <U>manually</U> and for <U>SAP centric</U> accounts (see example under next chapter 'loading groups'):

* '''item code, description & stock unit''' - core stock item data (click on the item code hyperlink to see the stock item summary)<br />
use the drop down ([[file:Dropdown2.png]]) on the left to access additional line information (stock out date & quantity, ship days, order line weight/volume)<br />
* '''last counted inventory''' - the quantity the station reported with their last stock report<br />
* '''target float level''' - the quantity the station is expected to have in their production area (SAP centric accouts only)<br />
* '''target backup level''' - the quantity the station is expected to have in their warehouse (SAP centric accouts only)<br />
* '''target float and backup level''' - the total quantity the station is expected to have (SAP centric accouts only)<br />
* '''net consumption forecast till next delivery''' - the expected demand to cover by the present requisition (taken from external item demand forecast)<br />
* '''average consumption''' - the expected demand to cover by the present requisition (calculated by historical demand)<br />

Typically you will compare 'quantities requested' with 'quantities suggested' and where these differ, investigate further (station comment? stock availability? use of container capacity?).<br />
Any negative quantity values indicate excess-inventory that needs to be returned from the station, however, this scenario can be prevented in the [[Station_Index#Stations_creation|'''Station settings''']]. ('default negative to zero').<br />
Before approving an item line in column, check for eventual outstanding orders in the backorder logs.<br />If needed, items can be added manually to the requisition. However, for substitutions the process is automatic, provided that the required settings have been captured. Refer to [[Substitution_UnplannedIndex#Requisitions|'''impact of Substitions in Requisitions.''']]<br /> As opposed to the process when dealing with queries at approval of inventory counts, here there are '''no query loops'''. Eventually you will need to '''approve or reject''' the entire requisition.<br /> For the validation process use the command buttons:<br />

When an approval contains an item where the 'quantity approved' is > 'quantity suggested', a '''final warning''' is displayed for you to acknowledge this decsion.

<h2>Loading Groups</h2>

Depending on [[Airline_Index#How_to_create_.2F_update_the_Attributes_for_an_Airline|'''the Airline configuration''']] you can optionally create/add/edit '''loading groups''', with this function you assign the order line items to specific transportation units (Pallets, Containers).<br />Note the different grid columns for SAP entric accounts:
