Question

Item quantity exceeds the preassigned item quantity

So, we have Clock Entries against Production Orders, but to approve the Clock Entries, I’m getting the following error:

The transaction cannot be created for Production Order RO (Order number) because the item quantity exceeds the preassigned item quantity for the 000010DATEIN240410 lot or serial number.

However, that’s not the only issue. I had to CHANGE the Lot number to 000010DATEIN240410 (it was assigning the ‘lot’ day) and giving me this error:

The transaction cannot be created for Production Order RO (Order Number) because the 000000DATEIN240410 lot or serial number has not been preassigned.
 
Why is Clock Entry Approval trying to assign lot numbers? Why isn’t it just using the lot numbers that were generated on the Production Order?

If the worker reported quantity on their labor transaction - that would fire the business logic to check for lot/serial assignment of the production item being moved or received into inventory.

What “Require Parent Lot/Serial” setting are you using - never, on issue, on complete?

Hi Angie- We currently have the Require Parent Lot/Serial set to “Never” on the RO order type. I can double-check, but I assume a quantity is being recorded on the labor transaction because the Quantity column has a value on the Approve Clock Entries (AM516000) form. Is this assumption incorrect?

Yes the quantity column having a value on the labor transaction means quantity was reported complete for that operation.

Okay, thank you for confirming! On one of the entries, I was able to follow these steps to get the clock approval processed:

  • Open the Production Order
  • Copy the Lot/Serial Number from the Line Details tab in the Production Order
  • Select the clock entry in the Approve Clock Entries (AM516000) form
  • Click on Line Details
  • Paste the Lot/Serial Number to the grid
  • Save the Approve Clock Entries screen
  • Refresh the screen, and click Process

Is there a better way to be doing this? The process is lengthy, but I have not come across a better way to get these clock entry approvals processed. Thank you for your responses!
