Purchasing a service

The Vantage process for this is to have a job to transform the material (prior to service) to another p/n-material (after service).

The job would contain a subcontract operation with the vendor specified & this would result in a suggestion for a subcontract (service) PO.

While Vantage has a few odd unique wrinkles in the process, it is basically the same process every system I've used (or seen) in 25+ years handles this.

Actually, I want to purchase the service "Localization" which does not have a physical deliverable. I have worked with service part numbers in the past but how do I "receive" the purchase order without plussing up inventory?

Our company contracts localization of our documentation via purchase orders in our "traditional" process. As we migrate to Vantage, I am looking for a way to continue to do this. We are, essentially, purchasing a service as the deliverable is a PDF. We will later turn that PDF over to a print vendor who will print the books. Short of creating a "dummy" part number, how do I do this?

Thanks,

If I understand your request, you want to order your documentation, but still want a part number on the PO for tracking. But you do not want to create a part master as you will not be tracking inventory etc.

Vantage allows you to create a part number on the fly. It does not require you to set up a master. The benefit of the part master is to have default values set up, like Part Class and Product group to name a couple.
Even with a part on the fly, you can set the part class on the PO to track your expenses into various buckets depending on the documentation that you are printing.

Brz in Mpls.

Try un-checking the quantity bearing flag on the part master.
