In the new release > ‘New Part’ view there is no tab for ‘Purchase Part’ therefore you can’s add specific Purchase Part Information. This is a step back in utilising this view - is this a bug or a change that has been made?
Only when Part Type ‘Purchased Non-Inventory Part’ is selected do you get a view to input ‘Purchase Part’ information
Can anyone advise on this?
+11I don’t believe this is a bug—it appears to replicate the manual process. When you create an inventory part, the purchase part is automatically generated. The user would then need to navigate to the purchase part to fill in the required fields. When a user creates a non-inventory purchase part, the process begins directly from the Purchase Part screen, this why you are seeing this option when selecting this.
It might be worth raising an idea for IFS to consider enhancing this by adding the Purchase Part section for the Inventory Options.
Thanks JamieB, do you know which release this change was included in? I can’t see it documented in any of the update info.

25R1 still works as you as showing.
+10Hi
No changes have been added. This functionality was the same for many years.

Hi
I believe that the logic here is, when the part type is selected as “Purchased Inventory Part,” you just need to add the Inventory Part information and with that information, a purchase part will be automatically created for that particular inventory part by the system
When the part type is “Purchased Non-Inventory Part,” you have to specify the information in the “Purchase Part” tab itself because there is no inventory part connected to this part.
Furthermore, I checked this in IFS APP10 Aurena as well and the functionality is same.
