Use this activity to add Materials to the Work Task using the Supply Code Purchase Order. Repair Technicians need to order a part for the repair. The repair technician needs to consume a part during the unit repair. If you add a Standard Task, the materials there will be inherited. The Standard Task can also add materials, such as parts known to be used for that particular type of repair.
Make sure the Task is In Repair before proceeding. Set the Part ID and then set the Supply Code to Purchase Order. Once these steps are completed, a link will appear in the Supplier column. Finally, review the Materials tab, which should display the relevant change.
Note: When selecting Purchase Order, if the Part is not defined in the database, use the No Part Description to enter the information for that part.
As a result of this activity, Materials are added to the Work Task as a Supply Code Purchase Order.
