How do the Procurement of materials from projects?

[Former Member]

Hi Friends'

How do the Procurement of materials from project s, here our Process is:

Whenever our engineers on site see any shortages he will send a report thro our customized InfoPath request form. Then we decide depending on the material whether to order to USA or Procure locally. Some mechanical parts we procure locally. For this in PR we give reference of WBS element. Purchase department raise PO, we receive material, sent to site And finally we charge USA(parent Company) for this amount against this project.

For the items like electronic cards, Critical mechanical parts to be ordered to USA we send the InfoPath form to USA. We get weekly shipments from USA. We create PR and also PO. No action by our purchase dept. The FREE OF CHARGE (FOC) material is received to us. Stores will do MIGO and then we dispatch to Site.

Friends please suggest how to do this Process through project systems. I need the entire configuration setting that we need to do and the process also, plz friends... I need these settings step by step.

Regards,

Hari

suggest attend course PLM220

If using only WBS then you have to raise PR from MM module and the material demand will not be driven from PS (except Easy Cost Planning)

If using networks then assign material component to network activity and set the item category as non stock item - this will trigger PR from activity
