Title: P type PO on non R type item?
Post by kevind on 01/30/07 at 14:54:44

Is there ever a legitament reason to be able to enter a P type purchase order
for an item not coded as an R type item?

We have a cronic problem with purchaseing people entering a P type order
for Outside processing on a manufactured item (type A or F).
When this gets received, it really messes up Average cost.

Would it make sense to not allow entry of a non R type item on a P type PO??

We use P type PO's to purchase N-type items which are expensed rather than put into stock. Things like office and shop supplies, R&D stuff, etc.

Even A and F types might normally be manufactured, but under special circumstances could be purchased.

That said, I'd have no problem with an SD-Q option so that users could define which types they'll allow.

OOPS, sorry, 'N' type should also be allowed on 'P' type PO's.

What circumstances do you put a 'A' or 'F' type Item on a 'P' type PO??
My understanding was the only reason for an item being 'A' or 'F' is if there is a BOM for it.

We would only buy an A type if we were short time or materials to make them. Doesn't happen too often, but it does happen.
