PO Season Codes

The purpose of this report is to list Finelines (Product Groups) in your system containing incomplete or inconsistent PO Season Codes.  Theory: if a PO Season Code is good for one SKU in the Fineline then it's probably good for all.  This exception trap is good at finding newly added SKUs where the PO Season Code assignment was missed (this is a manual process); and it's good at finding errant PO Season Codes.

Example: below we see Fineline 75007 (RTU Products / Applicators) showing:
     18-LG = 18 SKUs with PO Season Code of LG
      5-OF  =  5 SKUs with PO Season Code of OF
      1-## = 1 SKU with no PO Season Code

  • Steps to process this report:

    1. Open Inventory Maintenance (IMU).
    2. Open a Viewer (F9).
    3. Click Change Lookup (F5).
    4. Select Fineline and click OK.
    5. Type in a Fineline from the report and press Enter.
    6. Right click on the column header and click Select Columns to View.
    7. Click None, then select SKU, Description, and PO^Season (you can press the "p" key until PO Season comes up, about 10 times) and click Apply.
    8. SKUs with BLANK PO Seasons or minority PO Seasons may need adjusting. Fineline 75007 is shown below. Bullet point 1 shows the 1 SKU (7214554) missing a PO Season Code and also shows 5 other SKUs with a PO Season of OF; the rest of the SKUs have a PO Season code of LG.  It's worth looking into why these products within the same Fineline have different season codes.  Usually one code per Fineline will suffice and will be easier to maintain.
    9. Write down the SKUs you'd like to change and the desired PO Season, close out of the Viewer.
    10. In IMU, type in the SKU and press Enter.
    11. Under the PO Season drop-down, select the desired PO Season.
    12. Press Change (F5).
    13. Continue steps 10-12 until finished.
