IC12 records

We only add IC12 for the ones keeping it in stock. Non-stock pars create a record from IC81. Everyone else just uses the itemmast.

An IC12 is required for an item to be replenished by a vendor on a PO header. So if you plan to order via PO, yes. 

If you use purchase froms (vendor locations) yes, but the vendor can be defaulted by an agreement or simply by PO13. We use purchase froms to identify the ship-to account on the PO so we do load the IC12 with both stock and nonstock items.

We use Vendor and Purch From and do not load to IC12. The from location on RQ01 is the ship to on the PO. The vendor and purch from are from PO25.6 and account is from IC11. Our item mast is just over 100,000 items and we have no issues creating POs for vendors from req.

What issues are you having?

We don't use Purchase Froms in PO25. Otherwise we would have to duplicate the agreement for every facility. Plus, only 80% of our item master is on an agreement.

I'm not an IC/PO expert.. but I've had several clients request a customization so when a part is added to one location on IC12 it also adds to either all locations or some subset based on defined business rules. Saves on a ton of data entry.

Jason - IC330 or IC331 may do that depending on what the parameters are.
