Hi,
I need some advice about a problem I am dealing with.
My customer mainly works with welding and coating. Their project sites are often far away from the main warehouse. Because of this, I want to keep welding and coating stock at the customer’s project sites.
My idea is to create remote locations and move stock from the warehouse to these locations using shipment orders.
When the remote location is in the same country, this works well because I do not need commercial invoices with values.
The problem happens when the remote location is in another country. In that case, customs clearance is needed, and a commercial invoice with values is required.
I am not sure how to create a proforma invoice with values when the shipment order is created directly from Inventory. I noticed that the shipment has custom value fields, but they are empty. Do I need to use event logic to fill in these values?
The PO–CO process does not work here because the project location belongs to the same company. I also cannot create a new site for every project just to use inter-site PO–CO and get PO values.
How would you handle this situation?
Do I need to create the customs documents manually outside of IFS?
Thanks,
Chamath
