Release and order entry for metal stampers
A stamper's customers do not send POs; they send a blanket once and then releases forever. A weekly 830 on Thursday night, a daily 862 each morning, and an ASN due within the hour of the truck leaving. Somebody keys each release into the ERP and keys the ASN back. STRYKE reads the release, checks the cum, enters it, and sends the 856 when the Packing list closes.
What arrives
The automotive and appliance paper trail, every day.
- 830 forecasts and 862 firm releases with the last cum received and the last packing slip on each
- Releases keyed into a Tier 1's portal: Plex, Covisint, SupplyWEB, SupplySync
- 850 POs and 860 changes from the customers that still use them
- Steel service-center invoices with scrap and alloy surcharges, bundle tags and heat numbers
- 824 rejections and 820 remittances with a deduction for a late ASN or a price difference
What STRYKE does
The release is checked against the cum before it becomes a schedule.
- The customer's cum received is compared to your ERP's cum shipped; a gap is held, not entered
- Firm and planning weeks are split by the release's own codes, and a week that dropped from last Thursday's forecast is flagged
- Ship-to plant and dock code are checked against what the ERP has for that customer
- Surcharge lines on the steel invoice are coded, and the heat number is tied to the mill cert and the Packing list
- A 997 is queued the moment the release arrives
Where it lands
In the ERP as releases against the blanket, with the file kept.
- Releases against the blanket Order in JobBOSS², E2, Epicor, Plex, Global Shop or your ERP
- The Vendor Invoice against the Receiver, and the Bill in QuickBooks, with the surcharge on its own line
- The raw interchange and its control numbers stored with the release for the IATF auditor and the day the customer disputes a cum
- Payments applied in the books with the deduction held open and the reason attached
What goes back out
On the customer's clock, from the ERP's event.
- 856 ASN when the Packing list closes, with the packing slip number as the shipment ID, shipped and cum per line
- 997 on every inbound set
- 855 for an 850, and a revised one for an 860
- 810 Invoice, or none for the customer that pays from the ASN
Questions shops ask
Can it meet a 30-minute ASN window?
The 856 is built and sent when the Packing list closes in your ERP, which is the moment the shipment is real. Whether the window is 15 minutes, 30 minutes or an hour, the ASN does not wait for someone to log into a portal.
What happens when the cum does not match?
The release is held with the customer's cum received next to your ERP's cum shipped. A person decides whether the customer missed a receipt or you missed a shipment; that decision, not the release, drives the schedule.
We key releases into the customer's portal today. Does STRYKE replace that?
Where the customer offers the same releases as EDI or as a file, STRYKE reads those directly. Where the portal is the only channel, STRYKE reads the portal's export and enters the release in your ERP from it, so the double entry stops on your side.
