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.

Hi,

The PO quantity dropdown is not connected to the IC sales order packing slip. This is why you don't see anything when you try to record the PO packing slip.

Hi Ludwig.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Any idea why 'Product recipt quantity' is on option in the drop list when receiving on a purchase order ?

When packingslip update is done in the selling company on a intercompany direct delivery order the corresponding receipt is received on the purchase order automatically

with the correct items and quantities.

Best Regards

"If you do not work with direct delivery, you must manually generate the packing slip on the intercompany sales order, the intercompany purchase order, and the original sales order." Docs.

Hello Johan,

I think this is a standard list that is available for each PO.

You can double check that. Just create a new PO in one of your test environments, confirm it and open the post product receipt form.

Once the form is opened you should have the option to select 'product receipt quantity'

Hi Ludwig.

Yes, i have checked that on a new PO and the drop-list is the same, the option 'product receipt quantity' is still there.

But what functionality should this mysterious choice have, intercompany or not ?

Hello Johan,

I had a look at the form and the parameter and seems to be something stated there in relation to intercompany transactions.

Yet, I am not the one who can answer you the question what this code is exactly doing under which condition.

I thus added the 'SDK/development' tag to this thread so that people with special development skills can take a look at this.

Do you have a developer around who can quickly take a look at that?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Dear Johan,

in my opinion this seems to be a misunderstanding.

There are two types of intercompany. First is direct delivery, means the producing company delivers physically directly to the end customer, but in the system it’s company 1 -> company 2 -> end customer.

This means, the goods are physically never in the warehouse of company 2. Thats why the product receipt of the PO (company 2) and the delivery note of the SO (company 2) can be posted automatically.

Type 2 is intercompany without direct delivery. In this case, company 1 sends the goods to company 2 and company 2 of course has to check manually which goods they received. Otherwise it could happen that your inventory does not match with your system anymore.

Long story short, I would not recommend to post product receipt automatically in case 2 as this manual process do make sense. Although it’s „intercompany“ it’s actually the same situation like when you buy something from an external vendor. Would you just post quantities in your inventory without checking? I wouldn’t.

Kind regards

Katy

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

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 ?

Best Regards
