Can Part Needs exist without a stock record?

Hi all,

Following app params are set:

QUOTE_ACCEPT_PART_ACTION_DEFAULT = CREATE_PART_NEED

CREATE_STOCK_IN_QUOTE_ACCEPT = Y
 

And the particular part that needs to be used in this scenario has “Adjust Stock” unchecked in Parts screen:

Even though “Adjust Stock” is unchecked, a stock record is automatically created when accepting a quote having this part.

If QUOTE_ACCEPT_PART_ACTION_DEFAULT = CREATE_PART_USAGE, a stock record is not automatically created (if “Adjust Stock” is unchecked).

So my question is, is there a functional requirement to have a stock record if a Part is to be added as a ‘Part Need’ ?
Cannot we quote for a part, by having it entered as a Part Need on quote acceptance AND without a stock record getting created?


Also, an error pops up if I manually enter a ‘Part Need’ if the Part does not have a stock record.

Thanks in advance,
Dulshan.

 Hi @Dulshan De Silva 

If you are adding a “Part need”, that means you require that part from specific place > location to do a job. To full fill “part need” requirement, a shipment should be created. To ship the “part need”, stock should be available. Hence, according to the functionality, if you have a “part need”, stock should be available. Hope this may help
