Product receipt Intercompany process

Hi experts.

I have a question about how to recieve quantities on a purchase order in a intercompany process, not direct delivery.

example:

After the packslip is updated on my Intercompany sales order (selling company) then it is time to receive

the goods on my Intercompany purchase order.

The packingslip number from my IC Sales order are correctly displayed in the field Product receipt.

Now to my question.

When selecting 'Product recipt quantity' in the Quantity-droplist what should happend here ?

I am expecting the items and quantities connected to the corresponding packingslip number to be displayed

as lines to be received, but no lines pops up.

Its is common with partly deliveries so i don't want to select 'Ordered quantity in my drop-list and altering

the lines manually.

Thanks in advance for good idea's.

RE: Product receipt Intercompany process

Hi lally,

In case of business scenario with client using mobile device to ship and receive the goods the recommended solution is like below as in this case we now capabilities of warehouse management at our disposal.

> Worker receives items using mobile device. (Key point to remember is mobile device receiving does the registration of the items and not the actual product receipt.)
> Use the product receipt batch job to automatically post product receipt for all loads against which goods are received using mobile device in the above step.

> The batch job makes sure that the product receipt number is same as the load in the warehouse management.

So like this as warehouse workers keep receiving items in the warehouse using mobile device procurement team can make sure that Dynamics identifies all registered purchased orders and post product receipt for those automatically. (Inter company orders included)

However this does not rule out above solution of post product receipt using sale order packing slip as shared earlier but is not the first choice solution for these cases.

We can still use that process to post product receipt of the purchase order using sales order packing slip.

Hi Suman ,

Thanks for sharing solution .

Assume that client uses Mobile device functionality to ship and receive materials against direct or Intercompany SO/PO , then how can we use this functionality ?

I belive if we do not use mobile device , then we can go with this functionality only . Correct me ,if i wrong.

Hi johan,

Yes you can post the invoice on the purchase order in the similar fashion.

Navigate to invoice journal > Generate inter company invoice

Hi Sagar.

Here comes a late reply from me.

A big tankyou for this suggestion. it was a hidden funktion for me.

I will test it but it looks promissing.

I suppose that IC-invoices can be posted in the same way for IC -purchase ordes.

Hi johan,

For your question "what is the purpose of the option 'product receipt quantity' when receiving goods on a purchase order ?"

The option product receipt quantity does not have any logic behind to support any kind of receiving.

When find reference was done it was found that its only used for invoice posting as expected and its coming in the product receipt form as both these form share same table at the back end "PurchParamUpdate".

As both the forms share same table the field is shown in the product receipt form as well.

Form Back end form name Back end temporary table

Product receipt form PurchEditLines PurchParmUpdate

Vendor invoice form VendEditInvoice PurchParmUpdate

So to conclude its of no use and its sitting just there to confuse users.

Hi johan,

I do get your concern and it seems you need a way to be assisted to post product receipt on the purchase order with respect to packing slip posted in shipping company.

For this try to navigate from the purchase order to Manage tab > Inter company tracing > Packing slip journal

Once you open the packing slip journal you will get the option on the inter company tab to automatically generate product receipt with respect to selected packing slip labeled as "generate inter company product receipt"

The product receipt will be posted automatically for the same quantity as the packing slip in shipping company.

The only issue is you will not have ability to view as Dynamics does all the work.

Dear Johan,

For me it looks like it was just the same form like when you post the invoice. When posting the invoice, this parameter "product receipt quantity" makes sense and works as expected, it gives you the lines of the product receipt for invoicing. So in my opinion, MD just didn't create a second form but decided to use one for both postings. I agree with you that the parameter doesn't make sense :)

Kind regards

Hi Katy.

Yes, but a question still remains, what is the purpose of the option 'product receipt quantity' when receiving goods on a purchase order ?

Hi Katy.

Thank you for the reply.

Yes, i am aware of the difference between Intercompay Type-1 and Type-2 from your example.

I might have a little too high expectations that AX will guide me when i refer to an IC packing slip, so that i can get the details from this packing slip as a proposal for goods receipt.

If you compare with goods receipt from a transfer order that points out a shipment as a proposal, and that works fine.

The drop-list option 'product receipt quantity' is a bit confusingly, but i think we have to continue with our manually checks when receiving.

Thanks

Best Regards
