We are in the Kitchen Manufacturing industry, selling kitchen appliances to both retail customers (households) and contract customers (those involved in building apartments and houses). For instance, when we sell an oven, it’s available to both types of customers. These appliances are sourced from external suppliers.

At present, we need to develop separate procurement plans for the two customer segments: one to meet retail demand and another for contract customer demand. By doing so, we can send tailored procurement plans to our suppliers, ensuring better pricing and more accurate forecasting.

Is there a way we can manage this split procurement process within IFS without creating separate SKUs for retail and contract customers?

A lot of variables here, but is multi-site an option?  In this example, each site would be responsible for a different purchasing arrangement but you’d be able to retain the same part number.  

Depending on the requirements, you could also probably weave this into Sales Campaigns and use Supplier Agreements from there.  

This is for single site option. What I’m thinking is to enable the Availability Control/WDR No for some locations & reserve those separately thorough a custom logic for different customer segments.
