Thank you for your answers, Fredrik, I do not see any issues using Shipment Orders/Distribution Orders, just wanted to make sure I will suggest the best solution to our customer.
Our customer needs IFS to cover the following business case. Raw materials are purchased from the supplier (company A, site X). After registration of arrival, some/part of materials are moved into stock (company A, site X). There is a need to send the remaining quantities to:Company A, sites Y or Z); Company B or C.Without the possibility to initiate relocation from the arrival location (“multi-leg inbound logistics” ) I would have suggested our customer to use:Shipment order for movements between the sites of the same company (scenario 1); and Distribution order for movements between sites of different companies (scenario 2). In my initial scenario I was hoping to execute, the first receipt was registered in the PO site. After the registration of first arrival I was about to initiate shipment order/distribution order with the Relocate > Ship function from the Receipt screen. But if that is not possible and I have to receive materials into stock and then relocate goods with shipment
Hello, Fredrik, can you please tell me where do you take this information from? I am asking, because your answer contradicts with the IFS documentation and introductory slides for multi-leg inbound logistics (provided below).The below is taken from IFS documentation, description of Ship Goods and Assets activity/page: “Use this activity to initiate the move of an inventory part, non inventory part, no part or a handling unit between a site and/or a remote warehouse. Depending on if the receiver site is within the same company or a different company, a shipment order or distribution order will be used to administrate the move.”From the below slides (3 slides provided below) I see that materials can be shipped directly from the arrival location. Depending on where the receiving location is, the shipment order or distribution order has to be automatically created. There is nothing in the documentation about the limitations of shipping to the same site only. Could you please comment slide
Addition to my previous comment:In IFS Cloud documentation the following can be found in the description of Ship Goods and Assets activity/page: “Use this activity to initiate the move of an inventory part, non inventory part, no part or a handling unit between a site and/or a remote warehouse. Depending on if the receiver site is within the same company or a different company, a shipment order or distribution order will be used to administrate the move.”Expected Result for the scenario described in my previous comment: shipment order (in a planned status) should be created to move goods between the different sites of the same company.Actual result: Instead of the above, error message is provided. Can someone please explain me what is the idea behind the current functionality/validation that provides the error message?
Hello all, for me this question is still not answered. I may not see the entire picture clearly enough, but something is still missing here (23R1) from the functional perspective (please correct me if I’m wrong). The way I understood multi-leg inbound logistics is that I now have an option to register initial PO receipt in one site and the ship entire or partial quantity to another location, e.g. to another site within the same company. The issue I am facing: when I choose the option “Relocate > Ship” from the Receipt line level I get navigated to the screen Ship Goods and Assets which allows me choose another site for the receiving party. When I choose another site within the same company and try to save my relocation input I get the following error message: “Sender and receiver must be in the same site when demand code is purchase receipt”.Sorry I do not get that, can someone explain? What if in such scenario main relocation address (final destination) is always the warehouse in
