Register Inventory Part Template

Explanation

Distribution part templates are used to supply the new parts created by IFS Project Delivery in IFS Distribution with the appropriate attributes.

The asterisk (*) can be used as a default for the class and part number fields, i.e., part class = ‘*’ and part no = ‘*’. When selecting a template, the system first tries to find an exact match for part class and part number; if no template exists, the default template (i.e., part class = ‘*’ and part no = ‘*’) is used. The templates are used when the ordered part does not exist in IFS/Inventory.

At least one record per delivery project must exist if parts are to be transferred to IFS Distribution.

Prerequisites

• The delivery project must exist.
• The inventory part used as template must exist.

System Effects

• When a project item that does not exist in IFS/Inventory is procured, an inventory part is automatically created based on the template. If no template exists for the actual part class/part number, the default template (i.e., part class = ‘*’ and part no = ‘*’) is used.
• When transferring a project item to Inventory, the part is created in inventory for the Project's site.
