Is it possible to add a procurement clause to a no part line on a PR/PO?
I don’t see the option “Procurement Clauses...” on the popup menu when I click on a no part line, it is there for Part Lines only.
Why would this be the case?

Procurement Clauses - No Part Line - Is this possible?

No, in the standard IFS functionality, Procurement Clauses cannot be directly added to No Part Lines on a Purchase Requisition or Purchase Order.
The “Procurement Clauses...” option is available for Part Lines because these lines are linked to a defined Purchase Part. IFS can use the Part Master data, such as the part number, supplier, or part category, to determine and apply the relevant Procurement Clause rules.
A No Part Line, on the other hand, is intended for one-time purchases or items that do not have a defined Part Master record in IFS. Since there is no Part Master data behind the line, the standard Procurement Clause connection rules cannot be applied in the same way.
If a Procurement Clause is required for a No Part purchase, the usual alternatives are to enter the requirement in the Note or Document Text fields, or, if the item is purchased regularly, create it as a Purchase Part and use a Part Line instead.
Therefore, the absence of the “Procurement Clauses...” option for No Part Lines is a limitation of the standard IFS functionality rather than a missing configuration.

That’s really useful to know thank you. I can take that to our procurement team. It’s a bit of a pain to be honest, as we often have to create PRs for orders that wouldn’t be an purchase part, but we need to put some extra text on, that may be applicable to multiple PR/POs in a year.
For example, we pay for a course from an external company, we do this all the time, but we have specific notes/clauses that we add to the PO.
Anyway, you’ve answered my question. So that’s great.
Maybe an enhancement for IFS.
Thanks
James
