Subject: Is it possible to create a Purchase Requisition/Order directly from the "Inventory Parts with Shortage" screen?
Hi Community,
We are currently using IFS Applications 10 EE.
Our planning team frequently uses the "Inventory Parts with Shortage" and "Resolve Shortages for Inventory Part" screens to monitor critical stock levels.
However, when we identify a shortage, we want to be able to take immediate action to supply the material directly from these screens. Specifically, we are looking for an option in the Right Mouse Button (RMB) menu to "Create Purchase Requisition" or "Create Purchase Order" for the selected part.
As seen in the attached screenshots, the standard RMB options currently allow us to "Resolve Shortages" (allocate existing stock), but there is no direct option to generate new supply (Purchasing) for the shortage quantity.
My questions are:
-
Is there a standard parameter or setting to enable a "Create Purchase Requisition" option in these specific windows?
-
If this is not supported in standard, would the best practice be to create a Custom Menu executing a PL/SQL block to generate the requisition?
Any suggestions or workarounds to streamline this process would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
