Indicate Purchase Component Method
Explanation
The purchase component functionality is used when you are sending
the supplier material or components needed to either manufacture or
pack the parts that you then purchase. You can choose to charge, i.e.,
sell the material or the components to your supplier, or not charge the supplier for the
material and components.
There are two different methods to use:
- Supplier material: A more simple way to reserve, pick, and ship
the material, working only in IFS/Purchasing. It is not possible to charge these items.
This function will be used, for example, when handling outside operations in IFS
Manufacturing.
- Customer Order: A more complex variant
where the purchase order will create a customer order. The customer order flow will then
be used to reserve, pick, and ship the material. It is also possible to choose whether the
material should be charged or not. This is decided at the moment of creation
of the purchase part structure.
Prerequisites
- You either can indicate this option when entering the site or
change the option on an already entered site.
System Effects
If the customer order method is chosen, a customer order will be created when
releasing the purchase order, containing lines for the components that shall be
sent to the supplier.
If the supplier material method is chosen, a demand towards inventory is created
for the components that shall be sent to the supplier.
