Note: This feature requires the Material Request & Approval module licensed at your site.
When you perform a Handling Methods task for a material request, you select one or more product-handling methods (typically, the ones to be used for handling the requested product). Use the administrative Handling Methods page to change or otherwise manage the handling methods available for selection in this task.
For details on the Handling Methods task type, see MRAP Task Type: Handling Methods.
Note: If you are a local site user, whether you see Corporate-defined handling methods on this page depends on your site's Include Corporate Values setting for its Material Request & Approval module configuration (see Site Settings):
● Setting selected: Corporate-created handling methods are visible and available for operations at your local site.
● Setting cleared: Corporate-created handling methods are neither visible nor available. Your site must create its own local items to support its operations.
To view the handling methods available at your site:
Starting at the Application Administration page (How do I get there?), do the following:
1. In the menu on the left, under MATERIAL REQUEST, click Handling Methods.
The administrative Handling Methods page opens, showing all handling methods available at your site. The Scope column shows the origin of each handling method, indicated by one of the following icons:
Method was created at Corporate. It is available for operations at any site using Corporate values (see note for local site users above), but can be edited or deleted by a Corporate user only.
Method was created at your local site. It is available for operations at your site only, and can be edited and deleted by a local site user only.
2. Optional: To view the comments attached to each handling method, select the Show Comments check box in the lower right.
Each method's attached comments are added to the display. To remove them from the display, clear the Show Comments check box.
If you have permission to manage handling methods, see the following topics for details:
● Creating a Handling Method: Create a new handling method for selection in Handling Methods tasks.
● Editing a Handling Method: Change the name or comments of any existing handling method that was created at your site.
● Deleting a Handling Method: Permanently remove an obsolete or otherwise unwanted handling method.
