Sales Part Cross Reference Order for external client


Forum|alt.badge.img+2

Hello, I have a question about: 

All customer orders go into MAG1, we treat it as the central office. However, sometimes a decision is made to send something from MAG2, because it is closer to the customer. Then we change the supply code to direct delivery and the system creates an internal purchase order and an internal customer order between MAG1 and MAG2 to technically transfer this original order from the external customer to another location.

Therefore, the shipment in MAG2 is to the target customer and not to MAG1, despite the fact that the order technically shows the customer MAG1.However, on this internal order in MAG2 with the customer MAG1, the system has transferred information about the target customer and their address, therefore the shipment in MAG2 is created correctly to this target customer and their address.

All the necessary data from the source order is transferred to this technical internal order. So why doesn't cross-referencing information transfer?

Regards

Hi ​@MariuszKon ,

What’s the cross-referencing information are you referring to?.

Customer Part No and Customer Part Description?.

Where you don’t see this info?. In customer order line of MAG2 or in reports?

Is this info available in MAG1?

Regards,

Pilar

  1. Trying to connect the flow between MAG-1 and MAG-2 for individual items to transfer the referencing information.
  1. Contingencies that can cause the information to appear:

The stock part TEST linked to the sales part TEST is not the same as the customer part number, which is not allowed in the internal order flow.

  1. Where do you not see this information? In the MAG2 customer order line or in reports?

Customer order

Hi ​@MariuszKon ,

I found an old solution explaining the reason of this behavior and R&D considered this as an enhancement request. You can try to create a new Idea in IFS Community to request this (Start New Topic → Idea). In case you cannot do it, please let me know and I’ll do it for you.

The background under this:

“The sales part cross reference is always made the connection with the internal customer (which is the ordering customer for an instance) making it possible to get the respective customer part no to the customer order line. Customer is expecting to have multiple customer part no records in the sales part cross reference to map with the different external customers being considered in Supply Site which is not possible in today's design.
This needs further keys to be introduced to the sales part cross reference view followed by code changes to fetch the specific customer part no's for direct delivery type customer order lines in the supply site.”

Regards,

Pilar

Hi ​@Pilar Franco - was something similar to this not released in 23R1 - Handling External Customer Part Description in Inter-site scenarios? Maybe this is separate to the Sales part cross reference, and requires manual entry on the order because of the exact issue you explained above..
