Description
Yakta needs to track all inventory in the warehouse including “Point of Use” (POU) items. POU items are component items in a formula. Logistically it is most efficient to have these items near the work stations and be readily available to those assembling the work orders.
However, if a large amount of these items are moved to to the work stations' input bin, without tying it directly to a work order, the warehouse loses the ability to track these items. Tracking these items is important for supply planning purposes.
Therefore, a solution is needed that both keeps the POU products near the work stations, while simultaneously tracking the quantity of each item.
This solution will physically keeps the POU items in a bin near the Work Station, while systematically moving the POU items out of their bin to the “Input” bin so the item is available for a work station.
Acceptance Criteria
General Setup

Add “POU Item” checkbox
(Note this has already been added by YAKTA staff)
User Starts Work Line
The user registers the start time for a work line
If item = POU item
If the Item’s On Hand Quantity in the Default Bin >= Sum of Quantity
Add a line to a Movement Document with the following
Quantity
From Bin = Item’s Default Bin
To Bin = Input Bin
Post the Movement Document
Else (The Item’s On Hand Quantity < Sum of Quantity)
Display a message:
Item {Item No.} does not have enough inventory to move to the input bin.
A manager will manually move the inventory as necessary such as performing a replenishment move from bulk inventory.
