Hi all,
IFS Cloud 25R2. We use subcontracting with Purchase Component Method = Customer Order on the site.
Setup:
- Purchase part JH1300 is bought from supplier A and has a purchase part structure with three components: JH1310 and JH1315 (bought from supplier B), and JH1335 (manufactured in-house).
- All three components are also sales parts. For JH1310 and JH1315 the sales part sourcing option is Primary Supplier Direct, with supplier B as primary supplier on the purchase part. For JH1335 it is Shop Order.
- Supplier A is also set up as a customer.
What we want: when the PO for JH1300 is released, JH1310 and JH1315 should be ordered from supplier B and delivered directly to supplier A (no stock receipt on our site), while JH1335 is manufactured by us and shipped to supplier A.
What happens: when we release the PO, a customer order is created for supplier A with lines for all three components, but the supply code on every line is Inventory Order. The sourcing option defined on the sales parts is ignored. We can change the supply code manually, but we would like it to be set automatically.
Questions:
- Where does the supply code on customer order lines created from a purchase component come from? Is it hard coded to Inventory Order, as it seems to be for internal customer orders created from distribution orders?
- Is there a standard setting or sourcing rule that makes these lines use the sales part sourcing option?
- If not, what is the recommended way to handle components that should be direct delivered from another supplier to the subcontractor? Custom event, a separate customer order, or something else?
- If we change the supply code manually to Purchase Order Direct after release, is the requisition/PO for supplier B created and Register Direct Delivery then updates the CO line as delivered?
Thanks!
