Hi All,

 

Imagine the following data setup and scenario.

 

Demand Site - Site A

Supply Site - Site B

Internal PO X is created on Site A and sent through to Site B where the internal CO Y is created and processed. The pegging is correctly shown. However, even before Y is delivered, PO X on Site A is available in Register Arrival on Site A and can be receipted while CO Y is in a status prior to Delivered.

 

The expectation is that PO X should only be able to be receipted once CO Y is processed through to Delivered. Am I missing a setting here or does IFS have a different rationale behind this? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi ​@Sudara 

  Yes.  It is possible when your transit object have enough quantities to be received. There is no 1-to-1 connection IPO and ICO as far as transit object is concerned.

Hi ​@Piyal Perera

 

Thanks for the prompt response. Can you please elaborate “transit object having enough quantities to be received”, a bit more?

Do you mean if Supply Site has enough quantity of the part which is purchased by the Demand Site through the PO is available, the PO is ready to be receipted even if we have not reserved or delivered those parts? OR just that the PO is open and there is still quantity on it to be receipted?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Hi ​@Sudara 

     Answer to your question is No. You can create internal CO and delivered independetly. That will fill up the transit quantity. Similary you can create internal PO and receive from the transit object.

Hi ​@Piyal Perera 

Can you tell me what is meant by Transit Object? I’m still confused what it refers to.

And when you say Transit Qty on which site in what location we get this without the PO being receipted?

Note that in this case the two sites belong to two companies.

Thanks!

Hi ​@Sudara 

      Please create some data and follow through. Then you can understand the functionality behind it.

Hi ​@Piyal Perera 

Don’t take this the wrong way, but it’s quite intimidating that you are asking me to try the flow assuming I have never done it, when my question is what you mean by “Transit Object” in your statement. If you cannot answer the question I asked, it is perfectly fine not to respond.

Hi ​@Sudara,

  So, now I can assume that you have tested the flow. Then you can see transit qty filling up when you do internal CO delivery. Where we keep that transit qty is normally called transit object, may be just to do easy reference.

Hi,

I think ​@Piyal Perera refer to Inventory Part in Internal Order transit when writing “Transit Object”. This is used when the transfer is within the same company to keep track of the inventory value. There is no distinct connection to Customer Order or Purchase Order the placed it here or that is supposed to receive. More info can be found in this post https://community.ifs.com/topic/show?tid=17345&fid=41

In the intra company scenario you can receive as long as you find material in transit (which could have been delivered by other object from before). In inter company you can receive no matter. All in all there is no validation that the connected internal CO is delivered. It is kind of assumed that you will have the delivery note and the physical delivery in front of you at the receipt to do the connection to the internal PO.

Hi ​@Fredrik Johansson LKP

Since this is intercompany scenario (which I had mentioned as two sites belonging to two companies), I was thoroughly confused what this “Transit Object” was. Thanks very much for the clarification. 

Yes, in the practical world with the delivery note and the physical delivery happening, the receipt of the internal PO should not happen prior to the CO delivery. This was only a query that came up at SAT by the client team questioning why IFS does not have any validations and I was trying to find what the IFS rationale behind this was. 

Thanks again!

Regards,

Sudara
