Hi guys 

IFS 24.1.9 

So one of my users raised a PO and received the goods. Instead of undoing the inspection result to cancel the PO, he did a supplier shipment and actually delivered it. Now he needs to cancel the PO. Since the shipment status is delivered, there's no way to undo the Supplier Shipment. 

I was thinking of making an RMA Mregistering supplier as a customer and the purchase part as a sales part, etc] and then getting the parts on the inventory location, but that also seems not possible. Has anyone done something similar in IFS to undo a delivered Supplier Shipment and thereby cancel the PO? Please let me know. 

Thanks,
Asela

Hi ​@Asela Munasinghe,

Undo Delivery option is available for Shipment(s) created for Purchase Receipt Return. Though I tested in 25R1.

Hi ​@Abdul 

In our situation, the supplier shipment is different from the shipment.

Thanks,

Hi again ​@Abdul 

Undo delivery is available for Shipment for me in 24.1, but the shipment is not the same as Supplier shipment. Can you please check this? For me no to way to undo the supplier shipment. DO you know? 

Thanks,
Asela 


Hi ​@Asela Munasinghe ,

I’m confused as Supplier Shipment is a functionality that is not used since several releases ago (I think from 22R2)… How could your customer create it in 24R1, where only shipments are created for supplier returns?.
Is it possible to undo Inspection Results in your case?

Hi ​@Pilar Franco and ​@Abdul 

My bad - this is just supplier rental returns. From the Manage Rentals screen, they created Supplier return > Return to Supplier and created the Supplier Shipment and processed till the delivered state. So its different than the regular shipment having the same shipment id. 

@Pilar Franco its not possible to undo inspection results because the parts don't exist in the location. 

What's your recommendation to reverse this supplier shipment? 

Thanks,

Hi again ​@Abdul and ​@Pilar Franco 

I think the only way forward for us here would be changing the Supplier Shipment header status from delivered to picked via data repair. From there onwards, I think we'll be able to reverse the transactions, including the rental reversals until the PO is cancelled. 

We are not much in favor of data repairs, but seems we have no other option here. Can you please help me understand the consequence of changing the header status from delivered to picked status? 

Thanks,
Asela


HI ​@Asela Munasinghe,

I don’t think data repair would work in this case, since updating the Supplier Shipment status from Delivered to Picked would not create any reverse Inventory Transaction History (ITH) that the system generates with Undo Delivery for normal Shipment.

I would suggest handling this at the Supplier Invoice level by creating the desired financial transactions, like credit notes and all.
