Can we have internal purchase order?

For budget control, we need to issue PO within the organsiation between department, can we issue internal PO?

Case 1: We are creating budget for projects and PO issued for the non inventory are  linked to budget, some time we we need inventory parts also for project, for the same we issue material request but this is not linked to budget

Case 2 : We get some service from internal department for which we need to pay from project budget

Hi,

You can have internal purchase orders. For this to work,

  • there should be a party that request the inventory items/services - registered as a Site, with an internal customer (demand site).
  • there should be a party fulfilling the part/service- registered as a Site, with an internal supplier (supply site)

Then you can generate a purchase order from the demand site, to the internal supplier (of the supply site). Upon releasing the purchase order, IFS will automatically mark as intersite.

 

This is quite some admin work, as you would need to register items/services as purchase parts from demand site, with internal supplier attached in SFPP, adding sales parts at supply site etc. That is something you need to look at before using this as a solution for your requirement.

Hope this helps,
