Road Map: Control Number Inquiry

Use the Control Number Inquiry (SNQ) program to display basic information and inventory-related transaction activity for an item's control number.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs:

Material Issues and Adjustments (IMI) to adjust on-hand and floor stock quantities and to print the Inventory Adjustments Register and update the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to the GL.
Material Usage Maintenance (MUA), Manufacturing Order Auto Processing (MAP), Manufacturing Order Picking Selection (MSS), Picking Confirmation (MPK), or Secured Picking (SMPK) to pick components.
Sales Shipment Confirmation (OC), Secured Confirmation (SOC), Bill of Lading Maintenance (BLM), or One-Step Invoice Entry (RE) to confirm shipment of items ordered.
Branch Transfer Confirmation (ITS), Secured Transfer Confirmation (SITS), or Bill of Lading Maintenance to confirm a transfer shipment.
Receiver Maintenance (IRC) to receive purchased, manufactured, transferred, or returned (RMA) items into your branch if you are using direct-to-stock receiving.

AND conditionally

Receiving and Inspection (IRI) to enter inspection results for items that require inspection or to receive if you are using dock-to-stock receiving.
Rejected Material Disposition (MRB) to salvage components on a rejected manufacturing order.

You should run these programs at least once:

System Options Maintenance (XM) (Control Numbers Option) to define the format for serial and lot control numbers by branch or for the enterprise.
System Options Maintenance (XM) (Enterprise Options) to select a date display format for your enterprise, Branch Maintenance (TBM) to select a date display format for your branch, or User Maintenance (UIM) to select a date display format for an individual user.
Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) to enter an item, select S or M in the Serial/Lot field, set the Pre-assign ctrl no? field, and set the starting number if you control numbers by item.
Output Device Maintenance (XDM) to set up the output devices that you plan to use.
Date-Output Device Maintenance (ZE) to select your default output device and set whether you can override that device.

You will most likely run these programs:

Material History Inquiry (MHI) to display all transactions that affect the inventory of an item.

Inventory Status Inquiry (ISQ) to display an item's current on-hand, on-order, intransit, committed, obligated, available, and in consignment quantities, sources of supply, types of demand, quantities of substitute items, or family components.
RMA Maintenance (RMA) to display return material authorization details.
Control Number Cost Maintenance (ICC) to enter the actual unit cost for a lot and serial control number.
