Just curious how you would implement the following case.

Customer purchases non-inventory sales parts for both internal as well as external purposes. Let's say monitors. On a purchase part for a monitor we are able to enter a purchase group. This purchase group would trigger the correct cost account using the posting controls.

What if we would know the destination of the monitor upfront. So during the entry of the purchase order we know that the monitor will be used internally. The cost would be put against the internal cost account for the IT department. However the next time we enter a purchase order line for the same part (monitor), but we know that it will be sold directly to an end customer. Costing account should be a different one (cost of sales).

I can't think of a standard solution in IFS23 and up.

Do you have a tip (or a solution) how to implement this?

We did something similar, but with inventory parts.

Our solution was to create a combination control type using site and asset class to drive postings to differently GL accounts when purchased to a specific site.

A combination of site/purchase group might work for you?  Or take a look at your other options to create a combination control type since you know how the goods will be used when the PO is written.

Thanks @cynthia.wilson for the quick reply. Might be the tip that we needed. I will do some investigation and talking on my side and will let the results know.

@cynthia.wilson Discussed internally and we are going to use the purchases that are connected to a project as being external. So not connected to project means internal. Using code part on account that holds the project number will select the information in financials.

Regards.
