Hello All,
I have a question regarding the Supply Chain/Invoicing system in IFS that I cannot seem to find a solution for. A customer of ours has setup an online market place that they want us to start using to “shop” for better prices on component parts we buy for their products. Right now, we’re using IFS to generate PORs → POs → Arrival → Invoicing to satisfy demand and stock the components. However, they want us to be generation POs and invoices on their market place.
I don’t see a way in IFS that this solution could be accomplished, as we would still have to generate a PO in our system and receive the stock in. We still need MRP to keep track of when we need parts. I had thought about putting in a $0 purchase order, but that would create a financial variance then that would need reconciled.
I don’t believe this is something that could be addressed using VMI either. Not sure if anyone has come across this scenario before, but wanted to ask the community. Thank you!
