Question

Receiving of Items in Stores WITHOUT PO VALIDATION

Hi, I've a scenario where currently we get receiving via REST API in respective stores. PO is also integrated from ERP but not with the REST API and this integration has a middle layer of Information Broker (Message Queueing) with many issues in it that most of the times POs are stuck there and GRN (Receiving) become unsuccessful due to absence of POs. Can we disable validation of PO/PO Line in Receiving as our goal is to increase/decrease the balances of an item in the store so that it is available for the Workorders. I'd also like to understand how some organizations who don't have the procurement module implemented can use Maximo Inventory. One of the workaround I thought is the Inventory adjustments but doesn't seem feasible as it will not track the external reference id

RE: Inventory Item Part Number Identification

If you want a 2x4 piece of lumber, it doesn't matter if it comes from Home Depot or Lowes so you wouldn't want to limit the number with a store specific part number (which should be stored in the invvendor table anyway). But our inventory & purchasing is 90% OEM specific. If we need a replacement filter for a pump, we source the OEM filter. But that's our procurement strategy. Adding the fields to the Item Master is an option to consider

RE: Receiving of Items in Stores WITHOUT PO VALIDATION

You can't suppress validation of the POs for receiving without causing more problems. And you probably don't want to use inventory adjustments for an integration
