Hi,

Any Idea why it is not possible to connect individual serial part to FA object if the receipt is done through a purchase order.

Kind regards,

Hi ​@Awije 

According to my understanding;

In IFS, serial parts and fixed assets are managed separately:

  • Serial parts are tracked in the Inventory Management module under serial tracking.
  • Fixed assets (FA) are managed in the Fixed Asset Management module.

After receiving goods through a Purchase Order, the system may not let you link a serial part to a fixed asset because the financial processing for the receipt is already done. The system treats the serial part as inventory, not as a fixed asset.

 

Does this answer helpful?

 

Regards,
Chanuka

@Awije could you clarify on how you’re trying to link the Serial Obejct with FA?

Normally if your Fixed Asset Object exists you should be able to link it to the Serial Object in the Code Part Info section. Is this what you refer to?

Hi, 

See the IFS documentation on rotable Pool.  You can enter an individual, but you must follow the requirements meaning that not all parts can be connected. If I remember correctly, the parts may need to be STD cost and maybe zero cost. In any case, the documentation will be very helpful and will explain the requirements.
