Buy for = Other lines with Quantity bearing Part Master

We allow users to purchase inventory parts through Purchase Requisitions.

If you enter a Part Number that matches 1. Part Master PN or a Supplier PN that is linked to a Part Master, the line changes to Buy for = Inventory and the Buy for cannot be changed.

We need to be able to:

  1. Expense line to proper expense account (e.g., R&D, Marketing)
  2. Not receive the line into inventory upon receipt

We can achieve 1. by changing the Part Class, but I believe the Req part class may be overridden by the Part > Part Class upon receipt.

Any ideas how to achieve the desired behavior?

Do a check for a valid PN and if it exists or always append something like -EXP, so you never have an actual PN on a REQ. Or if the expense account is by department append the department code.

If you are actually sending POs with the part on it, you could remove the -EXP in SSRS.
