We are currently working on upgrading from IFS 9 to IFS 10 EE (update 11 currently). I want to make sure that we always have a resource group connected to the work tasks that are generated so I am trying to figure out the best way to use work task templates (service work with most of the time one task per WO). Many of our work orders/work tasks are generated to have an outside contractor actually get a PO from us to do the work on site. We would use the internal resource groups for who needs to handle the call internally until completion. I found another thread that allowed me to understand that I can use a Non-inventory Purchase part to be able to automatically start a requisition, but I am trying to understand what the planning of External would be otherwise. We normally have been using a non-inventory part for our labor to contractors because the price is always changing due to scopes.
I originally set this template up as line two was simply set up under planning and external manually as the hope to get a requisition to create, but then added line three by using a non-inventory part at 0.00. Now when I use this template the only planned cost is the $300.00 line. What is that line supposed to be for if not a no-part PO?
I also added a budget to this task that doesn’t show up when used either.
