I am trying to bottom out a way to receive subcontract POs to then generate the MFG-STK transaction via Material Queue, so that we can potentially complete the putaway process via the handheld devices.
Is this something any of you have managed to achieve? I am a bit stuck on what to try - I can easily do the PO receipt on the handheld, which generates the PUR-SUB transaction. Ideally I’d want to then systemise the MFG-STK transaction to the part primary location, rather than just autoreceiving.
Because of our internal put away process, we are trying to step away from auto receive if we can - for our mfg product, we are managing putaway transactions via the material queue, so the goods are only available in stock once scanned into their location via the handheld.
Might end up having to auto receive but would like to see if there’s any alternative!
Thanks so much though I appreciate you coming back to me
Oh I misunderstood, you do NOT want to auto receive, you just want it to show up in the mtl queue for them to put away. So basically the opposite of the question I answered lol. More coffee.
Is your subcontract operation getting marked complete when you receive the purchase order?
Sometimes there just isn’t enough coffee especially on a Friday!!
Our subcon op is marked as complete once we’ve received the lines back in full, but just can’t (yet!) seem to get the process to cooperate the way I’d like it to, unfortunately! Thinking cap going back on…
Hi Gill,
Did you find a solution for this that works for you?
I’m dealing with the same issue, I’d like the Mtl-Stk transaction to show up in mtl queue after a subcontract PO has been received.
thank you
Hi James
Unfortunately not as yet, coincidentally I did spend some time this morning looking at this process again, but I am not much further on! Actually, during my Googling earlier I was initially excited to see this thread… then realised I had created it haha.
If I do come across a solution though, I will be sure to update the thread.
lol, I’ve had that happen to me too.
I didn’t find a solution, it does look like this is an old problem.
I found this epicor ideas post with one vote from March 2021: Log In - Epicor Identity
I upvoted it, but I’m guessing a new idea needs to be posted on there too.
Oh that is a good shout!
If I get time today, I will submit it as an idea. It would be very handy to be able to manage subcontract receipts like job receipts…
especially on a Friday!!
