Warehouse Data Collection:
Register Arrivals are by Part No and when the parts are delivered the Supplier’s Part Number is on the packing slip, to make the arrival process more efficient (currently the IFS part number needs to be selected from LOVs all the time, which slows down the arrival process).
Can Supplier’s Part Number (Sender’s Part Number) be used instead of Part No
Are there any options?
Hi,
I think we answered this in an earlier post a while ago
I would recommend to add it to the Ideas section for future development.
It could also be added as customization I would guess, you need a new Supplier Part No data item and some logic that will fetch Part No from the Supplier Part No so our Part No could be set automatically from Supplier Part No.
Is there any documentation on how to add a new Data Item
No, but it has been done many times for many customers in different customizations, but it requires coding knowledge and is nothing a normal user can do. So it something consultants or IFS partners can help with or if the company have have enough inhouse knowledge to do customization in the product themselves.
In this case I would guess the minimum would be to add a new data item into the process and then decide on what logic is needed to be added for this new item. Like if you have the new Supplier Part No before Part No in configuration and have setup Part No to have Use Automatic Value = Fixed/Default then just write the logic necessary to automatically fetch Part No from Supplier Part No using some logic/table (I’m not familiar with how you get the connection between a Supplier Part No and Part No in this case? is it in Purchase Part page or some cross-reference table or something similar maybe), that might be enough, but if you want more advance maybe a validation on the Supplier Part No or even a LOV functionality for it if it is possible, it all depends on how much logic you would like to have here.
