We are a Manufacturing company, along with our own products we repair products from other manufacturers, As of now, we have a generic ‘Non-OurCompany’ part number and we repair under this Object Id in our quotations.

Moving On, the vision is to registering outside vendor’s parts in our system as Serialized objects to track history or repair etc.

I want to know

  • What could be the  best practice in this case?
  • How other businesses are dealing this scenario.
  • Is this handled in IFS someway…

doesn’t feel good creating so many parts in our system that we dont keep in inventory and we dont sell.

 

Point me to some real use cases or reading material to start my research to figure out if this could be a  good route for us?

Have you got Maintenance module installed? Sounds like the best way to go about is using work orders to perform repairs. You will just need to register their equipment as serial/functional objects (not parts), and perform labour, report time, etc and can invoice them for the work done.
