You can purchase parts for a work order by creating purchase orders directly from the work order parts list. This is particularly useful if a maintenance task requires parts that you do not usually stock, such as unusually costly parts or parts that have long order lead times.

When you create purchase orders directly from the work order parts list, you can use processing options to specify the initial status of the purchase order, as well as the approval route for the purchase order. After the system creates the purchase order, the purchase order number and document type appear in the detail portion of the work order parts list.

25.1.2 What You Should Know About

Topic Discussion
Purchasing parts on a recurring basis When you need to purchase parts for which you have a recurring need, such as purchasing parts for PM work orders, you can create purchase orders for parts using Purchase Management or generate purchase orders using the parts planning features in Equipment/Plant Maintenance.

See Entering Purchase Order Header Information and Entering Purchase Order Detail Information in the JD Edwards World Procurement Guide for more information about creating purchase orders.

Equipment under warranty When you create a purchase order for a piece of equipment for which you have defined a warranty service type. the system displays a warning message to alert you that a warranty is in effect.

See Section 14.3.1, "Creating PM Schedules for Each Piece of Equipment" for more information about creating PM service types for equipment under warranty.

Viewing supplier catalogs If you have set up supplier catalogs, you can view the catalogs directly from Work Order Parts List. You must first identify a supplier in the vendor field in the detail portion of the screen. To view catalogs for the supplier, place the cursor in the Part field and choose the Supplier Item Selection function. This is especially useful if you want to review costs associated with non-stock parts.

See Entering Supplier Prices in the JD Edwards World Procurement Guide for more information about setting up supplier catalogs.
