SERVICEABILITY - Visual warning in Receiving application when attempting to receive Internal POs

Internal Purchase Orders cannot be received in the Receiving application. Instead Inventory Usage should be used. While this is correct, there should be a visual warning/error when trying to open a internal PO in Receiving application stating the PO has to be received in the Inventory Usage application.

    Hi,

    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. Unfortunately, after evaluating this idea, we don’t believe it aligns with our product strategy and roadmap. Therefore, we will not be considering it for inclusion in our product at this time. Thank you again for your feedback.

    Thank you again for submitting the Idea. Based on the available information the request is not currently in consideration to be added to Maximo. If you believe the functionality should be added as an enhancement, please resubmit the idea with additional information regarding the placement of the warning and context on when it would need to be displayed. Thank you!

    Thank you for submitting this idea. Internal POs are not visible in the Receiving application - the purpose of an Internal PO is closer to a Work Order, generating Reservations for internal Transfers. (Which then can be added to a Transfer / Shipment, and then the Shipment received through the Shipment Receiving application.) Could you provide the detail where the proposed warning would be displayed?
