Prevent Sales order invoice before linked Purchase order receipt

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by _MGP 506

Users are creating Sales orders and then creating a Purchase order from it so that it links back to the P.O. (via General > References on the S.O. form).

We have observed that users can invoice the Sales order before the linked P.O. for that line has been received.

In standard AX 2012 R3, is it possible to prevent this and enforce users to follow the receipt process for goods before issuing the invoice?

Or is a customisation required?

thanks.

    Are you controlling stock so you have to have it? If you are then put into the process that these go through a specific warehouse, ultimately if you have stock why are you ordering it would be my question. Alternatively make them a direct delivery and get them shipped direct, then the supplier tells you it has gone.

    Thanks for your reply Steven.

    We are early days and negative stock is still allowable in Item groups. This is due to be disallowed shortly.

    Assuming this gets done then what is the process that you are referring to with a specific warehouse?

    The functional people are also looking at Direct delivery options on your advice.

    Note that my perspective is that of developer (keen on understanding more on the functional side) but being asked to look into customisations when I am sure AX has required functionality.

    Put the SO and PO warehouses to a different warehouse for specifically purchased stock, you are then segregating it in the system and everyone knows it is being purchased for a specific demand.
