STOCKOUT REPORT ON CDK

[jhatten]

Just ran a report of stockouts for the first time and its 8 pages long and needs to be cleaned up.
95% of parts on the list are AP status.... so should they be changed to NS ????

[Mike Nicholes]

Use a batch change to NS, if you want to keep the history; if the on hand is zero and retention of the part number is not an issue, batch change to AP

[FixedManager]

You do not need to take any action with this, it is an outdated report from the era of monthly/weekly stock orders. A Parts Manager would run this daily to determine when to create and submit his supplemental stock order.

With the advent of daily stock orders consistent stock-out issues signify your DMS stock settings need adjustment. If they are working properly do not change the stocking status artificially by Parts Maintenance, let the computer do what you have asked it to do. If you change them your information will not reflect what is really occurring causing you to make decisions with bad information.

My purpose for using this old report is to keep up with the manual order parts not on rim and aro.
but there probably is an easier way.. any suggestions?

Stockouts are supposed to be blank status (active) parts with zero on hand. I agree with Fixed Manager. I would not artificially move statuses. The reason is because it is tough to measure where obsolescence comes from when you do this. Parts should enter the lifecycle as NS. If they sell enough, they move to stocking status but if not, they delete off after X number of months. After a stocking status part slows down it moves to AP. AP parts are reviewed at on each stock order calculated and month-end to see if they need to move back to stocking status, otherwise after the last one is sold, it moves to DEL.

Did you try running a stock order?

A stock order on CDK isn't worth the time you waste on it. If I run a stock order right now....

I got 40 lines.
9 are MGR Control (RIM)
12 are phase-in, but are either soft trim, or don't have enough 6 month history to consider stocking.
19 are Demand, but either don't really have enough demand to stock, or are body parts, wheels, transmissions, cluster, ect.
In the end, I might order 1 or 2 parts on this order, but I doubt it.

I have never ran a stock order on CDK. I don't think the previous mgr. did either.

I am on CDK and run several different stockorders daily. Once I tweaked the settings in IRO, I haven't had any issues with it.

I use it to order parts RIM doesn't manage but should (usually recall parts) and batteries.

Run one as a test and see what happens.

Once you run it, change the quantity of one part that you don't want to zero (Need Qty), click recalculate, and all of the RIM parts will disappear.

Sort by 12 months sales by clicking on Last 12.

Parts you might want to order will be at the top.
