Hi,

We have a lot of parts that needs to be sales parts, purchase parts and inventory parts, but are low cost and classified as consumables. When our internal customers order these parts, they need to register arrival into stock as any other purchase order. Then they issue it on a material requisition.

Our end users experience that it is time consuming to use the material requisition page to do this; yu need to register 1 by 1 part with location and quantity, then you need to reserve them, and then issue them. The latter 2 can be done in one operation, but it is the adding of lines that are time consuming.

 

Does anyone know of any other more effecient way to do this, or have created fex a BPA for “Bulk registration” on MR?

 

BR,

Henning

Hi Henning.

 

Have you tried using the Spare Parts lists?  You can define a spare parts list for  your object.  When you want to add material requirements to a work order/task, you can do this based on the spare parts list, by simply enter a quantity for each part number that is a part of the list, and they are all added to the maintenance material requisition in one operation.

I might have misunderstood your requirement, though.

We use detached spare part list for work task, but not on material requisition (this is the /main/ifsapplications/web/page/MaterialRequisition and not the /main/ifsapplications/web/page/MaintenanceMaterialRequisition/Form)

 

My “dream” here is that I can have a button called “Bulk add from inventory” or similar, next to the +, so I wont have to add lines one by one:

There you see, I did misunderstand.  Sounds like having a similar capability as on the MMR could be the way to go, i.e. Add spare parts from detached spare parts list, thus avoiding the user to brows thru all 100k part numbers.  Could be something to add as an Idea.
