Hi Guys

Hope you are all safe and well,  Im after some advice on how you are setting up suppliers on the system that you would need to send parts to (for coating etc) and then receive them back in before they go out again?

So for example a supplier is set up on IFS and I need to send a part to them for coating, how would you currently do this so it reads in IFS where the part is etc?

It is called Outside Operations. Have a look at the documentation. 

Catherine - there are a few different ways to do this and it’s not immediately obvious which way would be best to do this.

Is that as a part of the manufacture process or is each step an individual item that would be considered its own saleable item? 

The functionality is called as “Supplier Material”

You can get enabled that in Site> Extended Site Info> Sales and Procurement> General> Purchase component method.

This is how you need to do he set up.

Prerequisites:

  • The Purchase Component Method on site: Supplier Material
  • Inventory parts (A and B, C), A is the full part finish by the supplier and B and C are the components that we sent to the supplier)
  • Supplier for Purchase Part record for the Supplier
  • Sales Part record on same site
  • Some qty also exists in inventory for part

Steps to follow: 

  1. Create a new PO for the supplier. Enter a PO line for part A.
  2. RMB Supplier Material from the PO line and enter part B and C with Qty/Assembly 1.
  3. Release and send the PO, Reserve the Supplier Material and Ship Supplier Material.
  4. Process the created CO and deliver. 
  5. Register Arrival PO
