Error in the Dual Company Procurement receipt in the Purchase Site

Error Description

While creating PO receipt transaction in the Purchasing site, IFS is showing error ‘Value is missing or has an invalid time interval for posting type M92 control type C31 code part A in the company’ in Purchase Transaction history in Purchasing site.

Business Scenario

Two companies defined, AUOWN1 which is the demand company and SGDOPR1 is the purchasing company. Inventory procurement is initiated in the demand site AUV1 (under company AUOWN1) and Purchasing site is SGDV1 (under company SGDOPR1). I have set “Allow Posting Creation Based on Demand Site Receipt” as TRUE.

Site Setup for AUV1 (Demand Site) has linkage to Purchasing Site SGDV1.

Posting type M92 is defined in Purchasing Company (SGDOPR1) with control type C31 - Purchase Group.

As a precaution i have kept the mapping same in AUOWN1 (Demand company) as well.

An Inventory Part PR is created in site AUV1, which creates a Dual Procurement PO in the purchasing site SGDV1.

Upon PO receipt on site AUV1, two receipts are created, an inventory receipt in AUV1 (Demand site), and a purchase transaction in SGDv1 (Purchase Site). 

But the Purchase transaction history information for SGDV1 site is showing error.

If i change the posting type M92 control type from C31 (Purchase Group) to Fixed Value, the purchase transaction has no error. It seems that there is a bug which is not allowing the control type C31 to be considered to identify the value purchase group. 

For ensuring that system might be checking purchase group linked to inventory part in demand site, so attached the same purchase group in demand site, and kept the posting type M92 same in demand company as well.

Has anyone faced similar issue? Do you reckon this is a bug or there is something missing in the setup.

Cheers,

Anil

Hi ​@anilopbox ,

    Please refer ‘About Dual Company Procurement’ documentation and follow the section ‘Purchase Order pre-posting’. That section explains how the existing logic works.

 

regards,

Piyal

Yes indeed ​@Piyal Perera  - however the existing logic appears to be flawed based on the scenario presented above. Looks like bug to me

Hi ​@Piyal Perera this seems like it should be returning the account mapped under the M92 C31 posting control based on the purchase group. A ‘catch all’ default account on this posting control is less than ideal for us. We will raise a case for investigation also.
