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.
