Unreserve Material Requisition when the Supply Code = Purchase Order

Hi ​@Dilrangi ,

As per the field definition for Supply Code = ‘Purchase Order’:

“Purchase Order: A purchase requisition will be generated automatically.” 

So then, material will be provided and reserved from a purchase flow, not from inventory stock.

This means that the material requisition line will only be reserved when the purchase order created from purchase requisition has been received. 

I found an explanation from R&D in an old case, referring to this, and offering a workaround for your request:

“First of all I feel that the supply code “purchase order” in the material requisition is something which should be highlighted. The need to raise PR and then a PO and send it to the supplier and receive goods resulted due to the material requisition. So in a way this MR and PO are pegged kind of. When we use register purchase order arrivals and get the requested goods in to inventory they are already reserved to that particular MR. Hence RMB options “reserve” and “reserve manually “ are disabled.  One implication of enabling “reserve manually “and letting the customer enter a negative value and un-reserve would be breaking the connection between the MR and PO. Say we broke the connection and how can we later say that this PO was raised for this particular reason. The only reason why this PO was raised is the MR and that will not be shown right?

Another complication of enabling “reserve manually “so that customer could un-reserve is because, Say we have a MR for 10 and through PO we partially receive 5.
In the inventory also we have the same part and the customer could go ahead and manually reserve the rest from inventory. This is an example for a complication that could happen.
So I think enabling this disabled field to enable the customer manually un-reserve is not good.

But there is something that could be done. Follow the first 4 steps of your test plan. Get the goods in to the inventory and as you have mentioned MR line gets updated to reserved state.
Then RMB and “issue” materials. Then information message comes indicating that the MR will be closed and it closes. Then again RMB and notice the option “Material Requisition Unissue” (in IFS Cloud, option “Unissue”).
Click on this and in the open “Unissue inventory part from material requisition” window. Here enter the full quantity that you issued earlier in to the field “unissued quantity”.
Now you can see that MR is unissued. Now go and check “inventory part in stock” window. You can see the inventory that was unissued is reflected as an increase in the inventory quantity.”

I hope this explanation and workaround can help you on this.

Pilar
