Hello.

Could you help me to answer our Customer’s question:

………….

we are using Transportation task to move stock from between companies/sites. however, although on the finance side this works fine for us on the inventory side it doesn't work well. mainly because Transport task only is to move material thats in inventory. what we need is to be able to see intercompany stock requirement and schedule production (MRP to see the demand) and then ship it to the other company using the Transport task.

We tried using Distribution order but only issue is that Distribution order only allows us to schedule one material per Distribution Order. Also in a DO we have to create AR and AP invoices and payments althought all these transactions are intercompany.

 

 

………...

This sounds like exactly what the intersite process using Customer Order, Purchase Order, Shop Order was designed for.  The messaging can be setup to make many of the transactions automatic, up to and including the invoices.

Thank you very much Shawn,

Could you give me any suggestion of setting up such messages? Especially th place (window)

Majority of the setup is in the Customer And Supplier records that are connected to each Site you have setup.  There are some part settings required (sales parts, inventory parts, supplier for purchase parts) and some site connection settings as well that can be useful.

 

Search for Intersite on the community and in IFS Help, it isn’t something easily explained in a forum post as there are quite a few settings and levers depending on your product and stocking methodology.  Also, I and others have posted quite a few responses to questions here already, you’ll need to do a bit of research and gain some understanding first.   

Here are a few posts to get you started:

You’ll need to setup the EDI Messages for the functions you want to automate:

ifsdoc/documentation/en/Sales/AboutInterSiteMessageHandling.htm

 

More than enough here to get you started.

Thanks a lot Shawn! All of this should be enough:thumbsup:
