The Sponsoring customer purchases many materials that are thought of generically such as “STEEL” to a specific job such that every purchase order for that item is different. In order that they may reuse common item numbers to purchase to specific work orders (rather than creating new item numbers for every single purchase), item site setup should be modified to allow purchase items to be set to job costing. Engineers would enter common item numbers such as “STEEL” into a bill of materials or work order with job specific notes about dimensions and other attributes particular to the project, then those items would be purchased to the job (work order).

When job costing is selected for purchased or outside process items the following setting would be selected and enforced by disabling the controls:

Site can purchase this item = Yes

Users would be able to manually link and unlink purchase order line items to work order materials for items of any cost type. In the case of purchase or outside process items that are set to job costing the work order link will be mandatory. Upon receipt linked purchased items will be automatically issued to their respective work order and purchase costs and Lot/Serial tracking (where applicable) will automatically flow directly to the order.

This enhancement will also take advantage of the pre-existing functionality in purchase request that links purchase order line items to work orders. If purchase requests have been generated from a work order, then links to work order materials will automatically be created on the purchase order item. Note however that logic creating these links will have to be modified from the current behavior of linking to the the work order header, to a link on the work order material item.
