FTZ Management: Preparation - Zone to Zone Reconciliation

The
Zone to Zone Reconciliation
 screen is used for reconciling quantities between zone to zone shipments and receiving zone transactions, matching via Transport ID.
This screen can be opened by choosing
Zone to Zone Reconciliation
 from the
Preparation
 menu and is broken into two tabs:
Exact-Matches
 and
Non-Matches
. These tabs are described in more detail below.

Exact-Matches

The
Exact-Matches
 tab includes all Transport IDs where the transaction quantities on the zone to zone shipment records match the receiving zone transaction quantities for the products. When the
Zone to Zone Reconciliation
 screen is initially loaded, this tab is opened by default.
If a Transport ID has one or more products with a transaction quantity discrepancy, the Transport ID will move to the
Non-Matches
 tab and not be visible in the
Exact-Matches
 tab.
To process a Transport ID:
  1. Check the box associated to the Transport ID in the far-left column, then click
    Process
     near the top of the screen. All
    FIFO Processing
     records associated with the Transport ID will be updated with the data from the
    FromZone
     shipment transaction.
  2. To reconcile all Transport IDs on a page, click
    Select All > Process
    . Once processing has been completed for all selected Transport IDs, they will be removed from the grid.

Non-Matches

The
Non-Matches
 tab includes all
Transport IDs with
 a discrepancy between the zone to zone transaction quantity and
FIFO Processing
 transaction quantity (for a specific product on the Transport ID). All Transport IDs displayed should be reconciled before proceeding with regular processing.

Reconciling Non-Matches

All Transport IDs that are not ready to be reconciled should be moved back to staging.
To return a Transport ID to staging:
  1. Find the
    Transport ID
     in the grid and check the associated box in the far-left column.
  2. Next, click
    Pushback
    . This will move all products on the Transport ID back to the staging table, not just the product with the transaction quantity discrepancy. Only Transport IDs that are not expired can be moved back to the staging table.
  4. A pop-up appears, requesting confirmation that the items are to be returned to staging.
  6. Click
    OK
     to proceed.

Detail

  1. Click the
    Detail
     link to the left of the
    Transport ID
     to open the
    Zone to Zone/FIFO Processing transaction quantity
     modification pop-up.
  3. This pop-up displays the
    Zone to Zone Transaction
     quantity and
    FIFO Processing
     transaction quantity for a product number on the Transport ID. The
    Zone to Zone
     transaction quantity or
    FIFO Processing
     transaction quantity can be modified to reconcile the discrepancy.
  4. After determining which quantity will be modified, check the box associated with the quantity. There are two ways in which the quantity can be updated:

Modify Transaction Quantity

To modify transaction quantity:
  1. Click
    Modify Transaction Quantity
     to open the
    Modification Transaction Quantity
     pop-up.
  2. In the
    Updated Transaction Quantity
     field, enter the new quantity. The Zone to Zone transaction quantity can only be decreased. The FIFO Processing quantity can be increased or decreased.
  3. Click
    Submit
     to execute the changes or
    Cancel
     to drop all changes.

Description

. The quantity to be moved and new

Move to Transport ID

To move to transport ID:
  1. Click
    Move to TransportID
     to open the
    Move to TransportID
     pop-up.
  2. In the
    Quantity to Move
     field, enter the new quantity.
  3. In the
    Transfer TransportID
    , enter the new Transport ID for where the quantity is being transferred.
  4. Click
    Submit
     to execute the changes or
    Cancel
     to drop all changes.
  6. Once a non-matching Transport ID has been reconciled, the Transport ID will move from the
    Non-Matching
     tab to the
    Exact-Matches
     tab.
  7. After no further records exist beneath
    Non-Matches
    , follow the process described in
    Exact-Matches
     to complete processing.

Processing Non-Matches Using Auto-Reconciliation

The auto-reconciliation functionality reconciles all product numbers on the Transport ID that have a quantity discrepancy. This feature can be enabled for clients who process a high volume of Transport IDs daily.
If this feature is enabled, the
Process
 button will appear in the right top corner of the
Zone to Zone Reconciliation
 screen.
To auto-reconcile a Transport ID:
  1. Check the box to the left of the associated Transport ID, then click
    Process
    .
  3. Click
    Process
     to open the
    Auto-Reconcile Confirmation
     pop-up.
  4. To proceed, click
    OK
    .
  6. The auto-reconciliation process will then initiate for the Transport ID. Once the process has been completed, the Transport ID moves from the
    Non-Matches
     tab to the
    Exact-Matches
     tab.
  7. To complete processing, follow the process described in
    Exact-Matches
    .
