New Pickings (ASN) for Specific PO Based on PO Lines


Description

Purpose:

This feature allows users to manually create a pair of pickings (IN and INT) referencing a Purchase Order (PO) to account for missing quantities after a partial delivery. This is particularly useful in cases where no backorder has been generated when items were received but additional goods are expected later. The new feature ensures consistency between the IN (incoming) and INT (internal transfer) pickings, linked through the procurement group.

Target Users:

Purchasing teams and inventory managers who need to manually create or adjust pickings for POs in cases of partial deliveries or missing products.


Features and Key Benefits


  • Manual Creation of Picking Pairs: Users can manually create picking pairs (IN and INT) when partial deliveries occur, without relying on automatically generated backorders.
  • Seamless Linking to Procurement Group: The system automatically links the new picking pair to the correct procurement group and source document, ensuring accuracy.
  • Partial Delivery Handling: The feature supports scenarios where items have been delivered, underdelivered, or entirely missing, offering flexibility.
  • PO Line Filtering: PO lines are restricted to only include lines relevant to the associated PO or procurement group, reducing potential user errors.


Workflows


Creating a Picking Pair for a Purchase Order:

  1. Navigate to the Purchase Order 
  2. Click on the Receipt smart button to view the pickings.
  3. Click on New to initiate a new picking.
    • The system automatically sets the procurement group and the source document.
  4. Choose the relevant PO Line, select the product, and enter the quantity.
  5. Save the picking and mark it as TODO.
  6. The picking pair (IN and INT) is created 



Incorrect PO Line Selection: The system will filter the PO lines to only include lines related to the current PO/procurement group, but it's still important to manually verify that the correct products and quantities are selected.
