Project purchase orders consumption

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have investment type project and i want to make PO without Item reservation.

Our goal is make PO and Purchase Invoice linked to Project but Item consumption we have to make after work order is finished.  

we want to turn off item reservation setting and we dont need item auto consumption when PO is Invoiced .

other words we want simple PO process just linked to Project

    Hi

    This issue is still there.

    On creation of PO for some Project, Item is reserved against the project and item trans shows deduction on receiving. These items cannot be free to be used elsewhere.

    Only thing i recently did as last resort is to customize the Procurement cycle to disable the default Project number field and create identical field (for Project selection) to have Project wise procurement reporting. In this way material is free to be used elsewhere.

    Any one else identified the better solution to this?

    Hello Ramanathan Vaikuntam,

    What is your exact issue?

    Do you mind to create a new thread for it as this one is already quite old and might not be exactly identical to your issue.

    Many thanks and best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi  Ramanatha,

    whats the issue you are facing??

    Do you want to receive the items in inventory instead of consuming directly to purchase order??

    Hi, i think the question is how to make item reservation, not item consumption from project purchase order or project work order. We can purchase wholesale product or produce bulk item to stock for specific project and reserve the items for this project but not immediately consume. we will consume it further months by item consumption journal. May be we want to reserve items for other projects.

    Hi

    I have the same problem , I've unchecked the 'Item Consumption' but after creating Product receipt, Item transactions shows deduction, and also when I checked , I saw that even before creating Product receipt and just by saving PO , one row with referenceCategory = transaction is created in InventTransOrigin table, and exactly this row cause deduction in Item Transactions.

    would you please help me ?

    Hi Soso Nozadze,

    I have some questions about your setup:

    1. Why do you post the item consumption through a project item journal? Invoicing the purchase order will already ensure that the items are consumed for the project. So doesn't this result in a double consumption?

    2. Why do you need to use an investment project? Wouldn't a T&M project be ok?

    3. In order to separate the purchase order processing from the item consumption for the project there is a project module parameter called item requirement. If you activate this one - and provided that you use a T&M Project - you can define the time and the quantity of the items that you want to consume. That is, when posting the PO packing slip, AX will ask you whether you want to consume the items purchased immediately. If you answer that with no, even posting the PO invoice will not post any item consumption for the project; you need to do this manually through posting the item consumption packing slip.

    I believe that you can avoid a lot of issues if you change the project type and use a T&M project instead. If you do not have a customer, use an internal "dummy" customer that acually never gets invoiced. Wouldn't that be an option?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig
