Do you have a recommendation on how we can do the following in Cloud:

  • Indicate that an existing part serial has been used or is re-furbished?  
  • Specify on a sales quote, customer order or shop order that a refurbished part (non-serialized) is to be used to fulfill the order?
  • Use different pricing for a non-serialized part based on whether or not it is un-used vs. refurbished? We currently create two part records for this purpose and add a suffix of -10 behind the part numbers that are refurbished. We’d prefer to only create one part record instead of two.

For example, the un-used part number is 1234 and the refurbished part number is 1234-10. Users add the part with the -10 to orders to specify that a refurbished part is to be used to fulfill an order.

 

We looked into Condition Codes but determined that we don’t want to use that option.

I recommend that you keep the solution with having separate part numbers for a new vs refurbished product since those may have a different cost, price and should be planned separately. A suffix on the original part number is a good solution I believe.

Hi,

If you set your Part to Allow Condition Code, then it is standard functionality in IFS:

  • Customer Order Line 
  • You can user Repair Shop Order
  • Pricing per Condition

Hopefully this helps!

@Bjorn Could you detail why condition code is not preferred versus part number duplication ?

@Bertrand Dousset Having separate part numbers is more robust for several reasons:

  • Possibility to sell the parts as different sales parts with different price.
  • Have separate BOM’s
  • Have different standard costs
  • Plan parts separately in MRP
