We have a scenario where we require PR Lines generated from a Customer Order Line with Supply Code Purch Order Trans to have Delivery Dates that take into account Suppliers Lead Time. Currently an information message appears if CO is manually entered, however orders are being received via a portal and generated in IFS (so message not being witnessed by the Users). On release of the CO, where the Supplier’s lead-time is 10 days, the PR Delivery Date matches the CO Delivery Date and the PR Latest Order Date is set approximately 10 days in the past. The Delivery Date is obviously not achievable and I am trying to work out if I am missing something in the set up.
The Purch Order Trans Supply Code suits the customer as the item is not stocked and is purchased specifically for each customer order. However without manual intervention the CO and PO dates are not achievable. I realise that when the PO is created, a similar info message about the Delivery Dates also appears, allowing manual intervention to set the PO Line Delivery Dates back, which will also produce a pop up to replicate the date changes in the pegged Customer Order Lines. However Auto Order Processing being carried out from Released PR to Released PO so this is not going to work.
Capability Check cannot be set to run automatically for an Inventory Part where an associated Sales Part has the Purch Order Trans Sourcing Option.
So we are left with a scenario where the generated CO and PO Lines both have unachievable Delivery Dates.
Is there a way for the Purchase Lead-Time of a Part to automatically influence the CO Line Delivery Dates and also the PR Line Delivery Dates ?
