Hi,

You can use internal activity to attach material and create PR.

This will avoid the creation of additional PR.

External actvity is used when you are using some external services from a contractor and it is not done inhouse. it may include labour as well material in scope of external contractor. usualy u hav contracts or inforecord for such vendors. In this case external activity is used...

For inhouse activity internal activity is used and material is assigned to same.

hope this helps...

Hi,

If you regulary place work order to vendors for your project activities like design of engineering drawings.. and specific procurement for which vendor info rocords can me maintained by purchasing Dept....in this situation you can use Externally processing activity rather than service activity to process the requirements easily.

Hope this clears you...........
