Beas External Production: Link between External GRPO (Service document), Goods Issues (components) and Final Goods Receipt (Manufactured Item).

Deas Support,

currently, there is no direct link that ties the external supplier's document (External GRPO for the service item) explicitly to the inventory movements it influences: the Goods Issues (GI) of components and the Goods Receipt (GR) from Production of the finished item.

It would be extremely beneficial to store the reference (DocEntry and potentially DocNum/CardCode or notes or whatever needed) from the External GRPO document directly within the resulting Goods Issues (GI) and Goods Receipt (GR) documents.

The logic could be implemented via a Beas script catching the window event: postexternalprocess and using the variable <e_docentry>.

The system variable containing the OPDN.DocEntry could be used to populate a dedicated UDF on the inventory documents for traceability requirement.

I think it could be better to add this procedure as a core functionalitie.

The case might be for an external production position where quantities have been split and two purchase orders have been created for different suppliers. In this scenario, it would be useful to easily know which final Goods Receipt is linked to which supplier.

Best regards
