Hi All,

Looking for insights here. My customer face below situation when receiving stock with multiple deliveries. 

Purchase Order line is raised with 100 pcs. Supplier will deliver 60pcs in one delivery on lets say 08/11/2024 with a freight charge of 15GBP. 

Then on 15/11/2024 supplier promise to deliver the remaining 40pcs with freight cost of 10GBP as a separate delivery. 

Note that freight costs known when supplier deliver each shipment. 

How we can replicate this scenario  in IFS as out of the box solution by absorbing the freight cost to the inventory value while tracking the supplier performance.

 

I have tried below scenarios.

  1. Distribute the charges based on weight while enabling “Distribute on Receipt” - This works if one delivery per line.
  2. Receive using “Incoming dispatch advice” and add the charges when receiving the delivery at a time. This will correctly transfer the freight costs but how can I track the supplier performance I mean initial order quantity is 100pcs but they delivered only 60pcs in the 1st shipment. 

Thinking on whether when we receive the first delivery should I reopen another line for the balance qty to track the promised delivery date for the remaining Qty.

I am just wondering how other customers would handle this in their business scenarios.

 

Highly appreciate your support on this. 

 

Thanks,
Chamath

Hi @Chamath Kuruppuarachchi

Hope you are well :)
What are the possibilities of updating the freight charge in the PO charge line before the second receipt, after the first receipt?
If possible, when the reflection of the previous charge is unimportant, I guess it should work. 
 


Hi @Vimukthi Mahakumbura . Nice to hear from you.

It would work but customer wants to see the charge lines separately for the 2 deliveries. Thats why I am planning to split the PO line as well. Because they want to measure the supplier performance too.

Thanks,

Chamath
