Setting Up Purchase Parts

This step is mandatory.

Before you can start buying any parts, you must have entered them as purchase parts in the system. A purchase part can either be an inventory part or a non-inventory part. Purchase parts that are inventory parts should be entered as inventory parts of type Purchased and they will then automatically get a purchase part record. You might want to review the parameters for the automatically created parts.

The information entered in this step is used throughout IFS/Purchasing.

Note: Connect the purchase parts to the appropriate suppliers in the Supplier for Purchase Part window, and among others define the price, if it is the primary supplier or not and how the part will be received into inventory. If this is not made, you will be prompted to enter the information on the first purchase order line for the combination of purchase part and supplier.

Note: If you have inventory parts that you will buy, start to register them in the inventory module. This will save time since the system will create a record for them in the purchase module. If you are going to sell these parts, then start by creating a sales part, the system will create the inventory and the purchase part record. Remember to review the information.
