Buying (Procurement, Demand Planner, ASC, SRM)

We have different manufacturing companies in IFS that are individual legal entities. Companies have Intercompany relations with intersite Order flow handled with MHS messages. Ordering companies order with purchase orders at supplying companies, that sell with customer order. Companies are located on different continents. Transport is done via sea freight with transport lead times from 6 to 10 weeks.For the finance consolidation at year end, we face an issue, that components shipped before year end, that are still in transit at year end, are missing in inventory value for the group. At time of shipment,  customer order is delivered and immediately invoiced. Delivery note is sent with MHS dispatch advice. That means, Supplying company does not have the inventory value anymore. Ordering company has not yet received the purchase order. Therefore, components are not in their inventory value.What is the correct process or setup to handle this scenario from finance perspective and still foll

Currently in system, the authority to view purchase orders(POs) and purchase requisitions(PRs) is controlled by site level access and any user who has the access to a particular site can view the POs & PRs in that site.

In simple terms, we create a Purchasre Order Change Order (POCO) when we need to make a change to a particular Purchase Order that we are working with. The standard behaviour, even in apps 10 is that when a POCO exists, the user is always asked to make changes via change orders. If you try to make a change on the PO, then the system will give an error, notifying you that no changes are allowed when a POCO is connected, which is a valid error. A customer who is in apps 8, is concerened about this error and they are of the view that this error should not pop-up and the user should be allowed to change the Delivery address under the misc info tab in the supplier window, even if a POCO exists. This is not possible with the standard functionality. However, I found the bug 120640 which addresses this error which comes up when we try to change the delivery address on the PO when a POCO exists. But, it doesn’t seem to make any sense of resolving the issue. It says, this error occurs only when
