Select from the following settings:
Enable Goods in Transit to give access to the Goods in Transit features in Cim200.
These features allow you to transfer stock between one Warehouse location and another, for use where there is a delay between leaving the source location and arriving at the receiving location.
The decrease of stock in the issuing location and increase of stock in the receiving location can be recorded as two separate transactions, and stock volumes and values can be tracked in a separate Goods in Transit location whilst it is in transit.
When this option is ticked a new Warehouse location will be added to all Stock items, to be used by the Goods In Transit features for tracking stock in transit. The location will automatically be added to all items.
The name of the Goods In Transit location can be set by the user as the option is enabled; it will default to “Goods in Transit”.
This option cannot be enabled if Multiple Locations is not enabled.
Mandatory Fields are fields where a value must be entered, or a selection made, before a record can be saved.
With Cim200 various data fields on the Stock Item record can be made mandatory, to force a value to be entered as a new item is created.
This is particularly useful for fields that are essential to complete, for use in further analysis or reporting, that may otherwise be missed when a new item is added.
Examples of this are the accounts to use when posting stock movement or accrual values to the Nominal Ledger; or the Average Buying Price to initially use for the item.
Note: Making fields mandatory after Stock Items have already been created could affect existing items, where the mandatory check will be applied to existing items when they are amended, before changes can be saved.
Quarantine is an additional Warehouse location to which stock can be transferred or received into for inspection. Additional features allow you to track stock in Quarantine, to Inspect quarantined stock to be passed and moved into a stocking location, or failed and written-off or returned to Supplier.
When this option is ticked a new Warehouse location will be added to all Stock items, to be used by the Quarantine features for tracking stock in quarantine. The location will automatically be added to all items.
The name of the Quarantine location can be set by the user as the option is enabled; it will default to “Quarantine”, which can be amended. Click on Amend Quarantine Warehouse to do this.
This option cannot be enabled if Multiple Locations is not enabled.
Tick Quarantine all Sales Returns to ensure that all stock received on a Sales Return goes to Quarantine. With this unticked, Sales Returns can still go to Quarantine, but only for items ticked for both Quarantine and for Sales Returns in the Quarantine area of Stock Item Details.
Tick Allow POs Directly into Quarantine to allow Purchase Order lines to be entered for the Quarantine warehouse, bypassing the item’s Quarantine settings. Receipts made into Quarantine this way will have no destination warehouse set. It also allows the receipt warehouse to be changed to Quarantine during PO Goods Receipt, which is useful where there is an ad-hoc requirement to Quarantine goods that are not setup for it.
If this option is unticked, PO receipts can still be made into Quarantine for items which have both the Quarantine and PO Goods Receipt options enabled in Stock Item Details.
Selecting enable By-Products an additional tab is added to the Stock Item Record where a default quantity of the By-Product for Purchase Order or Works Order receipt is defined.
When the Stock Item that have a By-Product against it, every time an order is received in to the stock the By-Product will be suggested at the set quantity as a default.
Quantities that can be selected are:
Per Each
Per Receipt
% of quantity received
These quantities can be amended at the time of receipt.
By-Products can also, be manually added to the Purchase Order or Works Order
Select Prevent Stock Usage When Stocktake is in Entering Counts stage to stop stock items being issued or received whilst they are also being counted. This control helps to avoid false discrepancies between items’ counted quantities and their quantity on Sage, which might arise from stock movements whilst a count is ongoing.
When enabled, all items included in any Stocktake which is in either the Printed or Entering Counts stage will be prevented from the following transactions:
MRP can look at outstanding replenishment orders to assess whether they are needed and by when. If an order is needed but not as early as it is due, MRP can make recommendations to reschedule the orders to a later date to have stock available just in time.
Tick this option to have MRP make rescheduling recommendations.
Cim200 automatically keeps a log of changes made to stock records, which are visible on the Audit Log tab in the Amend Stock Item Details and View Stock Item Details screens.
As the audit log builds, the list of changes can grow large; it is a useful housekeeping exercise to remove the oldest changes, so that it is easier to see more recent changes. Click the Cleardown Audit Records button to clear down audit log records.
1. Specify the age range of audit records to remove in the Date Range calendar boxes.
2. To remove all changes made within the specified date range, leave All Users ticked.
3. Click OK to proceed and review the number of records that will be removed.
4. To proceed with the cleardown click Yes. To abort the cleardown click No.
