Road Map: Rejected Material Disposition Register

Use the Rejected Material Disposition Register (VBJ) program to print a list of rejected and disposed materials and update the general ledger if you have inventory interfaced to the GL. See Background and Overview: Interfacing Inventory to GL for more information.

Before you run this program each time

You should run these programs in this sequence:  

  1. Receiver Maintenance (IRC) to receive a purchase order, manufacturing order, transfer, RMA, and vendor contract.

  2. Receiving and Inspection (IRI) enter inspection results for items that require inspection.

  3. Rejected Material Disposition (MRB) to select the disposition of items rejected during inspection.

Before you run this program the first time

You should run these programs:

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Purchasing Options) to select Material review board active? option.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (Inventory Control Options) to select Inventory interfaced to GL? option.

  • System Options Maintenance (XM) (GL Journal Options) to set these options for updating the general ledger: Print journal after register?, Print from GJ?, Post in D=Detail or S=Summary, Post from R=Register or J=Journal, and Erase posting files after posting?

  • 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.

  • Batch Number Setup (XBC) to set up a batch numbering scheme for batch number assignment and set the Allow manual assignment? option.

  • User Maintenance (UIM) to give each user who will run this program permission to update general ledger; select Allow final reg upd?

  • Branch Maintenance (TBM) to set up branches.

  • Branch Groups Maintenance (TGM) to set up branch groups.

  • GL Account Maintenance (GMM) to set up GL organization codes and GL accounts.

  • Posting Criteria Maintenance (XPC) to set default and specific GL organization codes and GL accounts for automatic posting to the general ledger. You set them up for these postings: AP ACCRUAL, FLOORSTOCK, INV SCRAP, INVENTORY, MFG CSTVAR, MRB, WIP CLEAR, WIP LABOR, and WIP MATL.

  • Rejection Codes Maintenance (TMRB) to set up rejection codes.

  • Enterprise Item Maintenance (IM) to set up items for your enterprise.

  • Branch Item Maintenance (IMB) to set up inventory items for your branch.

  • 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.

After you run this program

You will most likely run these programs:

  • Rejected Item Inquiry (VBI) to display rejected items.

  • Rejected Material Inquiry (MRBQ) to display rejected material records by MRB tag number.

  • Rejected Material Listing (MRBL) to print a list of all items rejected with the Receiving and Inspection (IRI) program.
