Define Transfer ATP Info in Internal Direct Deliveries

Explanation

This parameter is used to transfer the ATP information (Wanted Delivery Date/Time and Priority) in the customer order/line at demand site for the internal direct deliveries. In addition to that, it prevents these values from being changed in the internal objects so that they can only be changed in the external customer order.

Prerequisites

No prerequisites

System Effects

FALSE: The Intersite / Intercompany process works according to previous IFS releases
The Wanted Delivery Date/Time of the customer order line (Demand Site) is being recalculated when passing through the Intersite / Intercompany process. It may differ from the original Wanted Delivery Date/Time.
The Priority of the customer order (Demand Site) is not being passed through the Intersite/Intercompany process. It may be determined again in the customer order (Supply Site) depending on the settings and rules and so may differ from the original Priority.

TRUE: For customer Orders (Demand Site) where at least one line has Supply Code 'Int Purch Dir', the Intersite / Intercompany process ensures that Wanted Delivery Date/Time and Priority are passed through all objects of the process and can’t be changed.
Wanted Delivery Date/Time in the customer order line (Demand Site) and Priority in the customer order (Demand Site) will be transferred to Wanted Delivery Date/Time in the customer order line (Supply Site) and Priority in the customer order (Supply Site).
To ensure data integrity through the whole process, an error message prevents the Wanted Delivery Date and Priority to be changed in the following objects:

• Purchase Order, Purchase Order Change Order (Demand Site)
• Incoming Customer Order, Incoming Customer Orders, Incoming Change Request for Customer Order, Incoming Change Requests for Customer Orders, Customer Order, Customer Orders, Customer Order Lines (Supply Site)

Notes

• In IFS releases < 23R2 this parameter does not exist. When upgrading from a previous IFS release to 23R2 and above, the parameter will be initially set to FALSE so that the process is the same in both releases.
• Changing the parameter does not affect already existing objects at supply site. That means if e.g. the parameter is changed from FALSE to TRUE then the Wanted Delivery Date and Priority can still be edited at supply site for existing
  • incoming customer orders
  • incoming change requests for customer orders
  • customer orders
