In IFS Cloud (and Apps10) a User that creates a Rental Part Requisition Line, cannot manually amend the Price. Users can amend the Requisition Price for a Part Requisition Line, but NOT for a Rental Part Requisition Line.
Where companies have their DOA established at Purchase Requisition stage via Purchase Requisition Authorisation Rules, there is not way for a User to amend the Rental Price without going through the longer RFOQ process. If prices fluctuate for Rent In Parts and the SFPP record(s) cannot be easily maintained across a number of Suppliers for the Purchase Part, then a User is forced to either have the PR Rental Line authorised at the wrong value, or go through the RFOQ process which is too long when a only a simple price amendment prior to Authorisation is required.
The Rental Price CAN be amended at Purchase Order Stage so this feels like an oversight. It prevents companies having a robust Authorisation processes for Rent In Parts and can result in DOA’s being bypassed.
A case was raised with IFS for this and IFS R&D have concluded that this is not something they can do as a bug fix and it falls under functional enhancement. We have asked for the recommended process from IFS to update the Rental Price at Requisition stage without having to go through the RFOQ process, but have not received the confirmed recommended process.
There is no logical reason for this restriction and therefore request a functional enhancement to address this.
