Enter Sales Part
Explanation
This activity is used to enter, revise, view, and remove sales part
records. Parts must be entered in the sales part record before you can
work with customer orders. To be able to sell an inventory registered part, it must have been entered as
a sales part. The information you enter for the part is
set as default that will be used for customer orders. Multiple
sales part IDs can be linked to a single inventory part. The three types of sales
parts are: inventory registered sales parts, services (i.e., non-stored
parts),
and package parts. See the appropriate window description.
This activity is also used to define a part available
for renting out. Inventory sales parts as well as services can be rented out.
If a corresponding inventory part does not already exist, it will automatically and
simultaneously be created together with the sales part. Any inventory part record
created this way should be manually updated since the record will contain only very basic information.
In the event of an corresponding existing inventory
part for which the catch unit feature is made available, the price unit of measure will
be automatically set to the same as the catch unit of measure. Thus, if the
catch unit is made available for the inventory part, it will automatically be enabled
for the corresponding sales part. You should note that modification of the price
unit of measure would not be possible for catch unit enabled parts.
The price conversion factor between the sales unit of
measure and the price unit of measure is based on the catch unit if the part is
catch unit enabled. If not, it is based on the price conversion factor entered
in the sales part. The value for the price conversion factor on the sales part
is used as a preliminary value for the initial price calculations. However, as
soon as the customer order line has been delivered, the real calculated
conversion factor would be used.
The company tax regime determines whether a tax code must be entered for a
sales part. If the company tax regime is VAT or Mixed, then a tax code or tax
class is mandatory. If
the company tax regime is Sales Tax, then a tax code is not mandatory. The rules
are as follows:
- If the company tax regime is VAT and the sales part is taxable, then a tax
code or tax class is mandatory and any tax code or tax class can be used.
- If the company tax regime is VAT and the sales part is not taxable, then a
tax code or tax class is mandatory and the tax code must be 0%.
- If the company tax regime is Mixed and the sales part is taxable, then a
tax code or tax class is mandatory and any tax code can be used.
- If the company tax regime is Mixed and the sales part is not taxable, then
a tax code or tax class is mandatory and the tax code must be 0%.
- If the company tax regime is Sales Tax and the sales part is taxable, then
a tax code or tax class is not allowed.
- If the company tax regime is Sales Tax and the sales part is not taxable,
then a tax code or tax class is not allowed.
You can select the basis for tax calculation for the company with tax regime VAT. The
tax calculation basis can be price or
price including tax. This can be defined by selecting the Use Price Incl Tax check box.
The value defined is defaulted from the site.
If the Use Price Incl Tax check box is selected, then only the Price Incl Tax
or Rental Price incl Tax fields are editable
and the Price or Rental Price fields are not editable. The price is calculated based on the
value entered for the price
including tax and the tax code.
If the Use Price Incl Tax check box is cleared, then only the Price
or Rental Price fields are editable and
the Price Incl Tax or Rental Price incl
Tax fields are not editable. The price including tax is calculated based on the
value entered
for the price and the tax code.
In this window, you also define the default setup for
sourcing. The default sourcing option for a sales part is Inventory Order. When
a customer order line is entered for a sales part with the default sourcing
option, the value Invent Order is displayed in the Supply Code field. If
you want the sales part to be sourced automatically, set the sourcing option to
Use Sourcing Rule and enter an appropriate sourcing rule. If you do not know how
the sales part should be supplied, set the sourcing option to Not Decided. When
a customer order line is entered for a sales part with the Not Decided sourcing
option, the value Not Decided is displayed in the Supply Code field.
To source a sales part using a Production Schedule,
the inventory part must exist as a production line part on at least one production line,
at a site with a positive schedule percentage. Configured parts, DOP parts or
CTP planned parts
cannot be sourced through this option. When a customer order line is entered for
a sales part with the Production Schedule sourcing option, the value
Production Schedule is displayed in the Supply Code field.
If the sales part is sourced from another site within your
system, i.e., supply code is Internal Purchase Transit or
Internal Purchase Direct, then the purchase part connected to this sales part
must have the supply site set as a possible supplier. A corresponding sales part
(and perhaps also an inventory part) with the same part number as the purchase
part must exist at the supply site. It is important that the
sales parts are the same type in both the demand site and the supply site when
the sites belong to the same legal unit. In other words, the sales parts should
either be inventory parts in both sites or non-inventory parts in both sites.
This is necessary for correct inventory values.
Furthermore, where such multi-site transactions will take place among
various IFS
companies, it is very important that a price is entered. This is the multi-site
transfer price (cost). If this is left as zero, then there might be posting
ambiguities between the different sites and companies. Consider the price to be
the agreed company transfer cost. Where the sales part price in the supply site is different to the purchase part price in the
order taking site, then IFS will use the sales part price and change the
purchase order price if the internal customer order is confirmed.
If the conversion factor between the inventory and the sales UoM is manually
entered for a sales part, the freight information (Weight and volume) might not
be accurate.
For rental parts, sourcing is only available from own
inventory and supplier transit.
Prerequisites
This activity has the following prerequisites:
- The person entering the sales part must be connected to at least one site.
- The units of measure that will be used must be activated in the system. Do this
in the Units of Measure window, IFS/Application Services.
- A sales price group and a sales group must be entered and saved. Do this in the
Sales Price Groups
tab in the Sales Basic Data window, and in the
Sales Groups tab
in the Sales Basic Data window.
- A tax code or a tax class for VAT must have been entered and saved if the
company is set to handle VAT. Tax codes are defined
in the Tax Codes
window, IFS/Accounting Rules. Tax Classes are defined n the
Tax Classes window, IFS/Accounting
Rules.
- If the company will use Sales Tax instead of VAT, you must set this up
in the Invoice/Tax Information tab in the
Company window.
-
It
is not possible to select the Use Price Incl Tax check box if the company's tax regime is
set to Sales Tax or Mixed.
- An inventory part must exist from which the sales part can be derived. If
not, it will automatically be created and linked to the sales part. This
inventory part record will only contain minimal information.
- For the sales part to inherit customer warranty data, the warranty
data must first exist for the inventory part.
- The part must exist as configurable in IFS/Part Catalog if you want to configure it.
- If you set the value in the Sourcing
Option field to Use Sourcing Rule, then a sourcing rule must be defined.
- To set the value in the Sourcing Option field
to Production Schedule, the inventory sales part must have been associated
with at least one production line, at a site with a positive schedule
percentage. The production line can be defined in the
Production Line
window in IFS/Manufacturing.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The sales part can be used when entering customer orders. The data saved in
the
Sales
Part window is used as default values when you enter a customer order line.
- You can enter a VAT code even if the company status is Apply Sales Tax. This is done in the
Invoice/Tax
Information tab in the
Company
window.
- If the sales part is defined as taxable, this will be the default value
when the part is entered on customer order lines.
- When the sales part is created, it inherits any default customer
warranty defined for the inventory part.
- If a corresponding inventory part does not already exist, it will automatically and
simultaneously be created with the sales part.
- Additional information about the sales part can now be added to the other
tabs in the window.
- Sales part records can be used to set up customer part number cross
references, and complementary and substitute sales part records.

Procedure
- Open the
Sales Part window, and create a new record.
- Using no more than 25 alphanumeric characters, enter the desired sales part number.
- Enter a description of the new part.
- If you need to
change the site, use the List of Values to select from available sites.
In the
General tab:
- Information in the Inventory Part section is retrieved from the inventory part entry
if the same part number is used in both tables. Otherwise, the corresponding inventory
part can be selected by entering its part number or by using the List of Values.
If no corresponding inventory part exists, the values you entered in the
Sales Part Number and Description fields will be set
as default, but can be
changed.
- Enter the price unit of measure and sales unit of measure in the Units of Measure group
box manually or by using the List of Values. Inventory unit of measure is copied
from inventory part entry as default. If the three different units of measure are not the
same, you must change the conversion factors to obtain correct prices and quantities.
The units of measure are required.
- Use the Sourcing Option field to specify how this part should be supplied; the default value is Inventory
Order.
- Enter Sales Price Group and Sales Group in the Grouping group box
manually or by
using the List of Values. This is mandatory information. You can also enter a
