'Flexible' outside operations

Hi,

 

We have a scenario where a contractor comes in to do some work on a shop order. However, it doesn’t really matter when he does the job. Once he can start, the PR may be sent. In the meanwhile, we continue the operations on the SO. When he can do the job, he can do it.

example:

We have a SO with 20 operations. As soon we reach Operation 5, the contractor can come. In the meantime we continue with operation 6, 7, 8, 9,… untill the end. One time the contractor will come at operation 8, other time at 10, etc. Doesn’t matter.

 

How can we easily do this in IFS? With the outside operation, our part is ‘blocked’ untill the operation is done. Making a manual PR doesn’t connect the cost with the SO.

Or is it possible to link a PR/ PO with a shop order without using DOP?

If the Component part on the Shop Order is setup as a ‘Consumed’ part then you can RMB on Material Line to perform Manual Pegging to link the Shop Order Material to the PO.

Thanks Jorlicky!

 

Is there also an option doing this with the PR? Thing is, when it’s needed we launch the PR and let it go trough the approval flow and let Purchase do their job. But we have to wait untill it’s a PO to peg it. This is often forgotten as it takes some days between PR and PO.
