Hi.

 

I have a customer who want to start working with Project module (IFS 10), and I need to know how deliver parts without a Customer Orders,

I mean, they only have the demand in the Demand tab of the Activity and when they purchase or manufacture the parts, how is the functionality to do the shipment?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

If you are using Misc Demand than the project expects you to also issue the material on the Misc demand lines.

There are two main alternates for this if you want to create a shipment for these materials to a customer in my opinion:

  • Use Customer orders connected to your project activity, you will have demand on the project so PO lines or SO’s can be connected to the project as well. And you can use the CO shipment to deliver the CO Lines, using project stock or normal inventory
    It is not mandatory to get the invoice from the delivered CO, the prices could be 0.00 an the invoicing can be done from the project or sales Contract
  • Use Project Deliverables. Here you can raise demand for MRP/PMRP/PO/SO and it can have a multilevel structure in your project. When the stock is available in stock, one or more Shipments can be created to deliver the material to any address.
    the invoicing will always need to be done from the project or a Sales Contract 

On 10 you could also still use Project Delivery but that is discontinued in the Cloud release, so not a smart move, and it also ships via a Customer order which you do not want I think

Hope this helps

​@EriLNL If I use project activity Misc Part Demand to generate manufacturing shop orders, the system expects that the material is issued to the demand line after the manufacturing is completed. 

Then the Customer Order delivery is not possible anymore because the project inventory of the manufactured product is consumed. Is there a workaround for this? Or can I just skip the material issue to the project material demand and deliver the customer order?

​@AveTonitM 

If you do not issue the material against the Misc Demand, than you will not be able to close your project, so that is not a good option.

If you need the CO for delivery (and invoicing maybe) the following setup might work:

  • Create a CO line for the part
  • Supply option = Shop Order
  • Connect it to the activity that needs to collect the cost and the revenue (if CO invoice is used)

Alternate flow could be

  • Create a CO line for the part
  • Connect it to the activity that needs to collect the cost and the revenue (if CO invoice is used)
  • Supply option = Project Invent or Invent order
  • Use MRP or PMRP to generate the SO

Hope this helps a bit
