Hello,We are starting to use the Product Structure (BOM) functionality in IFS Applications 8.As a test, we created a sample BOM and generated a Shop Order. The materials from the BOM were correctly copied into the Shop Order → Material tab.Our question is:👉 How can we trigger the creation of Purchase Requisitions directly from these shop order material lines? We know that the nightly background job can automatically generate requisitions, but we would prefer manual control in the beginning (to avoid uncontrolled PR creation). Ideally, we want to select the material line in the shop order and trigger “Create Purchase Requisition” or a similar action. Has anyone implemented this approach, or is there a standard way to manually initiate PR creation from shop order materials in IFS8?Thanks in advance for your support!

Hello,

We are starting to use the Product Structure (BOM) functionality in IFS Applications 8.
As a test, we created a sample BOM and generated a Shop Order. The materials from the BOM were correctly copied into the Shop Order → Material tab.

Our question is:
👉 How can we trigger the creation of Purchase Requisitions directly from these shop order material lines?

We know that the nightly background job can automatically generate requisitions, but we would prefer manual control in the beginning (to avoid uncontrolled PR creation).
Ideally, we want to select the material line in the shop order and trigger “Create Purchase Requisition” or a similar action.

Has anyone implemented this approach, or is there a standard way to manually initiate PR creation from shop order materials in IFS8?

Thanks in advance for your support!
