Manually Add Component Parts

Explanation

When entering the purchase order line, any components entered in a product structure in IFS/Manufacturing Standards is copied to the purchase order line. In case a product structure is not used, you can manually specify the components.

The order number, line number, and release number are automatically retrieved from the purchase order. Normally, the line item number is automatically generated by the system when saving the component line, but you can also manually specify this number.

In case a product structure is not used (or when you have manually entered a component line), you must enable the Backflush option and specify a backflushing location in the Components for Purchase Order Line page. Otherwise, these values would be used by default per product structure, in IFS/Manufacturing Standards.

In the Supply Code field, select either Inventory Order or Project Inventory. The Project Inventory supply code is allowed only for purchase order lines that are connected to project activities. In such cases, parts can be reserved and picked only from the project inventory of the connected project.

Prerequisites

• The purchase order line must have been entered and saved.

System Effects

• The component parts will be connected to the purchase order.
• If you had chosen to backflush, the automatic issuing of component parts from the backflushing location will be enabled. This is a direct issue to the supplier, and will take place as and when the purchase parts (the top parts) are received (i.e., at purchase order receipt).
