Print a Purchase Order Created from a Distribution Order

​@PMGannon - have you tried printing the work copy from the same function? 

Hi ​@WyrJamesG 

Hello,

I am getting the same error message. I don't understand how to fix it.

“The operation is not possible for a purchase order created from a distribution order.”

I am also looking for a solution to communicate between the customer and supplier when there are changes to prices or dates, because the MHS feed is not working. Only the shipping notification is working.

I haven't been able to find a way to set up automatic notifications once the price or dates are changed. 

 Thank you for your help. 

Hi ​@PMGannon  ​@WyrJamesG 

Have you found a solution on your end? Because I have this problem, but I'm also concerned about the pricing.

Hi ​@audreyS 

No, sorry, but we never did find a solution on our end.

Hello ​@WyrJamesG

We are able to print a work copy from our 24R2 instance of IFS. 

Thanks,

My client is on IFS 25R1 and is using distribution orders.
I opened a case with IFS and they told me this is expected behavior — we cannot print a confirmation directly from the purchase order because the distribution order is the master object.
However, I don’t understand this design choice, because I cannot generate an order confirmation either from the distribution order or from the purchase order.

Have you managed to do that in your 24R2 version?

Sorry, but we don’t have a use for order confirmations on distribution orders. It is not something we needed to explore. 

HI ​@PMGannon 

Oh, okay, thanks. I see.
