Unable to change supply code to Purchase Order Direct

Question

We have a purchase part with the following setup:

Inventory part Part Type = Purchased
Sales part Sourcing = Inventory

When the part is added to a customer order line, the Supply Code defaults to “Inventory.” However, sometimes there is a need to change the Supply Code to “Purchase Order Direct” and have a PO automatically created and pegged. However, we have been unable to do that.

Here is the scenario:

Customer order Status is “Planned”.
Part is added to a customer order line.
Supply code defaults to “Inventory”.

Change the Supply Code to “Purchase Order Direct”.
No Supplier’s appear in the list to select.

On Save, receive the following message:

Not allowed to save the Supply Code change to “Purchase Order Direct”.

Question:

Is there a way to change the Supply Code on the customer order line from “Inventory” to Purchase Order Direct”?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @hmccabe

the reason why no list of Suppliers are referenced on the CO Line is that IFS can’t ”see” a connection to a Purchase Part and therefore no SfPP records either.

After checking @Arcfarazt’s point first and if you do have a Purchase Part, then check also the following:

Go to ”Sales Parts” overview page and query for the Sales Part in question.

Find column ”Purchase Part”.

Is it empty or does it refer to a Purchase Part record?

Hi ​@hmccabe. Can you confirm that a Purchase Part is still created for this part (Part Master Data/Purchase Part)?If the Purchase Part has been deleted, this error message is received.Once created, you can change the Supply Code to Purchase Order Direct.
