+3The Part Ownership is NOT populating on the Purchase Requisition line even though is is defined on the Supplier For Purchase Part Record.
As well, when the Purchase Requisition line is converted to a Purchase Order, when the Part Ownership is defined as “Customer Owned”, the value that populates in the Purchase Order line is INCORRECTLY appearing as “Company Owned” …
Is this a KNOWN Bug with IFS Cloud, or should it be reported as such?
+6Hi,
As per the tooltip on Ownership for the Purchase Requisition line, it says,
If the demand code of the purchase requisition line is Invent Order or Project Inventory for order codes 1 (Normal) and 5 (Express Order) the ownership can be set to blank or company rental asset. For these order codes the company rental asset ownership will be set as the default value on the purchase requisition line if this is the ownership defined on the primary supplier for part, otherwise the default ownership will be blank.
If the demand code of the purchase requisition line is Project Delivery or Project, the ownership selected on the project demand line is shown on the purchase requisition line and cannot be changed.
If the order code of the purchase requisition is 6 (External Service Order) the possible ownerships to be selected are Company Owned and Customer Owned.
Possible ownership values are listed below
Company Owned: This is internally-owned inventory. The stock is owned by the company connected to the site.
Customer Owned: This is externally-owned stock that is supplied by a customer (or a supplier for the customer) with the intent that the material will be transformed (maintained, repaired, overhauled, or used as a component) and eventually returned to the customer (or supplier). This is not applicable for the Project Inventory demand code.
Company Rental Asset: This is internally-owned asset which is tracked in inventory for the purpose of renting (externally and/or internally). The stock is owned by the company.
I think the best approach would be to raise a Swarming request to clarify your questions.
+10Hi
If you create a purchase requisition manually or automatically, the ownership will be set as null, but in the server, it will be set as Company Owned.
Purchase requisitions can be automatically created from various processes to raise actual supplies and there is no rule that a supplier should exist on a purchase requisition during its creation.
Therefore, the system cannot decide which ownership to set automatically, and it's created to support the most generic use case.
However, assume that there exists a primary supplier, it will not always be true to fetch the ownership from the primary supplier to purchase requisition line and set it as externally owned goods for actual demands.
Because the purchase requisitions can be created automatically, or you can define a supplier split to purchase part, so that the requisition quantity can be split between suppliers, and it will be inconsistent to set a mix of ownership for each requisition line.
When converting a purchase requisition to a purchase order, the rule is to take the ownership from the purchase requisition to satisfy most cases. So, the core behavior is to set the ownership on the purchase order, taking from the purchase requisition.
If you manually create a purchase order line, then the ownership can be fetched from the supplier for purchase part.
I also think that to create a Purchase Requisition line with Ownership Customer, the Purchase Requisition should be originated from a Repair Purchase Requisition, or the Purchase Requisition should be related to Project Delivery.
