Bulk GRNs

This functionality allows for importing a high volume of serial numbers by part code and to quickly select and drag multiple items to be GRN’d. The Bulk GRNs will be saved on the GRN screen and then processed in the BPO_BulkGRNManager console application (run via Task Scheduler). This will decrease time taken to process GRNs that have a large number of items.

Configuration

To use this functionality, the following configuration is required:

• The Company Configuration BulkGRNLimit The number of lines within a GRN that must be reached in order to generate a Bulk GRN in order to decrease time taken to process GRNs that have a large number of items. must be set.
• BPO_BulkGRNManager console application to be installed, configured and running on the application server.

Notes

• Current stock GRN processing will remain unchanged, except for when the number of items to process is greater than the limit value set for the Company Configuration Flag BulkGRNLimit.
• The imported details required are the PartCode and SerialNo.
• Select either a CSV or EXCEL file to be imported.
• Once all the items are valid and processed by the console application, then it will create an entry into the processing queue for the PostingEngine application to process to the financial system.
