How to create a Procurement Transfer Order ? or configuration required to create procument Transfer order
Symptom
Resolving The Problem
Scenario:
========
There are
two nodes Node1, Node2 and an item say Item1. The inventory for Item1 is
available with Node2 but the item needs to be shipped from Node1(ShipNode). In
this kind of a scenario a Procurement Transfer Order can be created to transfer
the stock from Node2 to Node1 to fulfill the order.
Configurations:
===============
1) Distribution
Group:
-----------------------------
Navigate to
DOM--->Cross Application--->Order Promising--->Procurement and create a
Distribution Group consisting of both the nodes (Node1 and Node2)
2) Sourcing Rules for Procurement:
-----------------------------------------------------
Navigate
to DOM--->Cross Application--->Order Promising--->Procurement and configure the
sourcing rule. Make sure the sourcing node is added (Node 2 in this case) in
the “Sourced From” list with template type as “Specific
Node”.
3) Scheduling Rules:
-------------------------------
Navigate to DOM--->Cross
Application--->Order Promising----->Sourcing and Scheduling and in the
Scheduling Rules make sure the “Assume Infinite Inventory Availability
Beyond Lead Time” flag is UNCHECKED under Inventory Controls or else the
order will get scheduled straight away without even trying to procure.
4) Node Level Controls:
------------------------------------
Navigate to DOM--->Cross
Application and in the Node Level Controls under Primary Information tab ensure
that the “Track Inventory and Procure/Transfer to this Node when
Inventory is not available” flag is checked. Add the nodes which will be
used for sourcing under Relationship To Nodes and Relationship From Nodes
accordingly. Do similar configurations for both the nodes.
5) Item Level Configuration:
------------------------------------------
Under
PM--->Products--->Items view the details for the particular item (Item1 in this
case), under Sourcing/Transportation make sure the Procurement Allowed is set
to 'YES'.
Now adjust the inventory for Item Item1 in
Node2 and make sure there is NO inventory for that item in Node1. Create an
Order with ShipNode as Node1 for the Item1. When the order is scheduled, it
moves to “Procurement Transfer Order Created” status. Clicking on
the Related Orders icon will show the Procurement Transfer Order created in
“Reserved” status.
