That’s great to hear there is an assistant in 10. We are hoping to upgrade soon. Thanks for your reply!
Hi Caroline- What version are you on? In Apps9, when using LOV in the Accounts field of pre-posting in the MR header, you can right click and choose Properties. Then in Object Properties, change the startup behavior to Use Saved Search and pick your saved query. You can then publish to users via a Base Profile. Technically, users can still get around your list by manually entering a different account, by populating, or running their own query… but I’ve found this method works for most users.
I am not aware of anything that does this out of the box in IFS 9, though we would also benefit from that functionality! Instead, we have 3 custom menus available from the Inventory Part Availability Planning window. The first two trigger custom scripts on the selected Shop Orders. The third is a simple jump to the Shop Orders Material Planning window that will enable users to replace to alternate components, or take any other action they may need. If you end up trying something different, please share -- I’d be interested to know what you decide to do!
Is there a reason why they’d split up the original qty? Is it for the purpose of having smaller shipment or batch quantities? Perhaps, you could initiate the splitting at the SO level itself, if the split criteria is known (ex. max lot size of 100, etc.). Try with SO Operation split, where, in your instance, you’d split the original operation of 500 qty to 5 operations each carrying 100. With the smart use of custom events, this can also be automated. If this is to be a recurring process, I would suggest the same as asanka -- Use the Shop Order Operation Split functionality. Splitting or Adjusting can be done even when the PO is already in Released status and this is the only way I am aware of to maintain the connection between a PO line and an Outside Operation. I am also wondering… if there are 5 distinct receipts of 100 ea, is the shop floor continuing to work on the next operation when the first 100 are received? If they are waiting for all 500 to arrive, I understand having th
Is there a reason they are needing to add the parts completely manually to the PO instead of converting Purchase Requisitions? Is this their regular process or a rare scenario? Theoretically, I would imagine you could get Data Migration to help, though I’m not sure it’d be worth the setup if they would only use it occasionally. Uploading parts in mass could also get tricky if any of the parts are on supplier agreements, have price breaks, different receive cases and inspection codes, etc.
