XTND - balance comparison

Description

The flow describes how the balance comparison (physical balance) takes place between the EWS and LXIR. EWS sends a message every night and comparison takes place in LXIR. No feedback is returned to the EWS.

Balances are compared as follows:

LXIR	SUStaus in LXIR	EWS	Lxir	EWS
Physical balance minus bar coded quantity	Received (16) + Reserved (32) + WareHouseNotified (64) WareHouseNotifiedWithErrors (128)	Stock balance + balance to be picked	X	X
Reserved quantity	Reserved (32)	Balance to be picked	X	X
Blocked quantity	Blocked (2048)	Barring Aldo	X	X

Physical balance in LXIR is everything that is in place on the warehouse, regardless of the blocked or unblocked quantity.

The physical balance in the EWS is the total balance in stock that does not have a reservation and is entered.

Balance to be picked up in EWS is order-placed balance that has not been acknowledged (no order result sent back to LXIR)

The three balances are compared and if different, this is logged by e-mail, and / or in a file. If the article is not found in LXIR, this is marked with 'M' (missing). Only deviations are shown; these may then be handled manually after assessment.

Balance of all active items for the client is sent from the EWS, (also items with inventory balance 0).
