Hello,

 

I’ve created a few distribution orders to move some parts from Site A to Site B. The multiple parts were all added to the same PO/CO and all looks good. On Site B, I can see the released PO and the lines are available on the register arrivals page. Of course, I cannot receive the lines until the customer order on Site A is delivered. That’s all fine, but when I try to peg material lines on a shop order at Site B, the corresponding lines from the released PO are not displayed. Is this intended behavior or am I missing a step somewhere?

 

Thanks for your help,

Dylan

Hi ​@dritter,

 

The pegging of PO line to Shop Order Material line is allowed when the Demand Code of the PO line is “Invent Order”. 

In your case, the PO line is generated from a DO, hence the Demand Code of the PO line is “Distribution Order”.

Hi ​@Tharindu Illangasinghe thank you for your answer. That makes sense from a demand code perspective, but is there a way to peg the supply to the demand on the demand site so that it is reserved once it arrives? I’m able to peg the supply to the internal customer order, so I’m curious why I can’t peg the demand to the internal purchase order.

 

Thank you,

Dylan

I find the same behavior in external customer order line pegging as well. The reason might be the supply PO line has another connected demand which is Distribution Order. The help text for this activity says only the shop order material line has to be invent order. Nothing on the PO line demand code. On a business pov, I also think this should be possible. Maybe you should check with IFS RnD. They might have an explanation on the behaviour or fix this. 

However, for now, I think you should be able to manually raise the PO line without the Distribution Order. This way, you can do this pegging. I confirmed this by testing. When you have the inter-site data setup, this should be the same as the Distribution Order. Main differences are creation of CO via IFS connectivity and user having to process orders at each order levels i.e. CO and PO level without having the possibility of processing them with a centralized DO.

This cannot be done directly, but should be possible if DOP functionality is used.

Thank you ​@Vimukthi Mahakumbura and ​@dameenda for the information. We will take the PO option into consideration, and have already been looking into DOP for future use. Just another reason that DOP may be the right fit for us.

 

Regards,

Dylan
