Define Default Supply Type 

Explanation

This activity is used to specify the default supply type for a part. You can indicate how the part should be supplied via the options given in the Default Supply Type field. The available options are; Order, Requisition, Schedule and DOP.

• Order: Order proposals for purchase parts will be purchase orders and not requisitions
• Requisition: Whenever there is a demand for the part it should be supplied via a requisition
• Schedule: Parts should be acquired via a supplier schedule.
• DOP: Parts should be acquired via DOP.

If the purchased inventory part is manufactured on site as well as being purchased, then the Manufactured/Acquired Split option should be enabled and appropriate percentages entered. The supply types entered in the split override the default supply type.

Prerequisites

The inventory part should be entered.

System Effects

The planning systems will create supply requisitions, orders, or schedules depending on the supply type selected. The inventory part will be acquired from the indicated choice.
