Alternative Item and Intercompany processing AX 2012

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

When creating an intercompany purchase order in district A the auto generated intercompany sales order in district B does not change to the alternative item.  

I have configured the item with no on hand inventory in District B(manufacturing) to use alternative item when nothing in inventory.  I have tried editing and confirming the sales order.  The SO will not switch to the alternative item.  If I process an intercompany sales order from district B(manufacturing)  to district A(purchaser) the sales order switches to the alternative item accordingly.  On both the SO and PO.

Does anyone know how to make the alternative item update in the auto generated sales order?

    Hi Robert@Team,

    What you said is normal. Because it happens only when you sell this item and the sales order will switch to the alternative item.

    It will not change to the alternative item when you create an intercompany purchase order.

    Maybe you can check the intercompany on-hand list for this item stock first. Then do the changes in the inter purchase order manually.

    Thank you,

     District A is one of our entities that provides services for our customers. District B is our manufacturing company from which all of our entities purchase manufactured materials.

    District B is manufacturing which is where the inventory warehouse is located. In manufacturing I have configured item RYI0006 with an alternative item to be used when nothing in inventory.

     I created an intercompany purchase order for this item in district A which created the intercompany sales order in district B-manufacturing.

    Since there is no on hand inventory in B-manufacturing for this item the sales order should switch to the alternative item. I have tried refreshing, editing and confirming the sales order.

    The item will not switch. It works accordingly if the intercompany sales order is created in B-Manufacturing. The alternative item is substituted for item RY0006 and an intercompany purchase order is generated in district B with the alternative item. pastedimage1591194487476v2.png

    Hi Robert@Team,

    Can you provide some more information what is district A and B and what alternative item you refer to?

    Some additional information on the setup made and your process would help.

    Many thanks,

    Ludwig
