I have enabled batch derivation. We are doing subcontract purchase orders. When the PO is setup to put the subcontract goods into unrestricted stock and a MIGO receipt is done, the batch derivation works.
When the PO is setup to use inbound deliveries and put the subcontract goods into QM stock the derivation does not work. OK, fine, maybe the usage decision will handle that.
Problem is that after the inbound delivery is created, the usage decision is completed before the goods receipt. The usage decision triggers a pull derivation (it pops up on the screen), but the batch derivation fails because no sender is found for the attribute to be derived. (System did not find any sending batches error message also). The extended text seems to indicate that you must do the goods receipt first. The goods receipt does not seem to trigger another batch derivation. Doing DVMAN does the derivation as expected. I am following the "Batch Derivation Overview with example" documentation. So, can someone point me in the correct direction on additional steps to follow to get the system to work? Thank you.
