Define a Default Order Type on Customer

Explanation

Use this activity to define a default order type on a customer.

The charge/no charge function can be used when you are supplying the supplier with material or components that the supplier needs to either manufacture or pack the parts that you then purchase. This function allows you to either charge, i.e., sell the material or the components to your supplier, or not charge the supplier for the material and components that you supply them.

The supplier must be registered as a customer in IFS/Customer Order and a default order type must be defined for the customer so that the customer order can be created automatically.

Prerequisites

• The supplier must have been registered as a customer.
• The order type that should be connected must be entered in the Order Types tab in the Sales Basic Data window, IFS/Customer Order.

System Effects

A default order type for customer orders is connected to the customer.
