Hi All,

I’d like to draw attention to an important gap in our current Project Deliverables process— shipment.

Referring to the PD documentation, “IFS Project Deliverables consists of Design, Plan, Create Material Supply, Ship, Install and Commission, and Complete processes.” While the process flows smoothly from design through planning and material supply, it breaks down when we reach the shipment phase. The flow resumes seamlessly for installation and commissioning, but only if the shipment happens outside of Project Deliverables.

Currently, we can create a shipment plan, but once we actually ship the material, we lose it. The reason is that we can only ship to the customer, and thus we don't have a "receive shipment" functionality, which disrupts the process. For EPC projects, it’s common practice to ship materials and equipment to the installation site. However, this missing functionality forces us to step outside the Project Deliverables flow, which complicates the process and is difficult to explain to customers.

This gap not only causes inefficiency but also interrupts the otherwise smooth flow of the project. I strongly believe that this is a necessary development to ensure seamless material tracking within the Project Deliverables framework.

I’d like to ask the community—do you agree that this is an urgently needed enhancement?

Best regards,

Nebahat
