Customer order vs shipping order shipment creation for remote warehouse replenishment. Currently our organization uses customer order lines to plan for production. There is a need to plan production for product to be shipped into remote warehouse. Realize the Shipment order is generally used for this move, as the shipment order creates a shipment with a receiver type as Receiver Warehouse, however this presumes that inventory is already in stock.. As mentioned, we use customer orders to plan production, ahead of the shop orders, and produce to order. Is IFS configurable to take a customer or receiver ID as a customer order and auto create the shipment as a remote warehouse receiver type? This would give visibility to the shipment in the Open Customer orders, along with all other open orders, yet still allow for shipment inventory transfer to Remote Warehouse. The only difference I see on the shipment whether created by a Shipment order or a Customer order is the receiver type. We would like all Shipments, regardless of receiver type, originate from the customer
