Use this activity to register adhoc purchase orders. This process is used by users like technicians to purchase required unplanned parts from supplier counters to finish work task assignments. This gives the possibility for the user to create purchase orders and perform receipt at the same time where the system will automatically handle the back office operations needed to handle the purchasing flow.
Enter or select a work task Id and an existing supplier in the first assistant page and go to the next page to add parts. User can add inventory or non inventory parts connected to supplier using Add Parts sub assistant. Use Add Unregistered Parts to enter no parts. After registering the parts, review all the entered part information in the list. At the Add parts step, user can save the request and continue working on the ad-hoc purchase session at a later point. If the user wants to automatically enter the part information when a supplier acknowledgement is sent for the ad -hoc purchase, it can be done by approving incoming ad-hoc purchase request manually or automatically. If the user is continuing a saved ad-hoc request as such, he can Continue Session from Ad-hoc Purchase Requests page. Perform Finish to execute.
