Requesting Location Usage vs old IC282

unknown

Our Supply Chain has been struggling with their usage reports since going live. In the April CU the Requesting location Usage report did have an update made to it to where it is now reflecting our Inventory transactions. It still is still leaving out a large chunk of data that the IC282 included. It is leaving out any non-requisition purchase order usage (in healthcare these are Bill Only PO's which need the PO number before it is even known what is going to be on them).

Another category is for items ordered by one department for another department. An example of this is our Facilities orders. Facilities requests it, so the requesting location usage shows it going to them, but it is billed to the actual department the work is done in and we cannot track that with the current report.

I'm mainly just wanting to reach out and see if anyone has either any suggestions, work arounds, or even other ways of tracking item ordering and usage.

Late reply, but just wanted to echo that we also have been struggling with this type of reporting since going live with FSM.

There is the Department Usage Report; however, it is limited by no date range -- one can only select the Current or Last Period. No idea why.

Another report that seems to have some hope is the Requisitioned Items Report; however, this will only look at items where the source document was a requisition, which is not always the case. Additionally, while this report at least allows you to put in an actual date range, the data does not include any of the accounting information (i.e., company, department, GL, etc., which one would find on the line distributions of the requisition).

In short, we have been on FSM for almost a year and this is still a problem for us.
