PJC Job Related PO - and Items that are serial tracked

SOLVED

Hi

I have never had a client ask me for this before and I possibly wrongly assumed it was possible.

I have turned Serial numbers and tried to enter a Job Related Purchase order for an Item that has serial numbers

I get the message below

If I got PJC and manually assign material to the job via material usage and I can select the serials

Is this a limitation of job related Purchase Orders? or I have missed a setup step.

Appreciate your assistance on this

Thanks

    I ran into this a few years ago.  

    The issue seemed to be that receiving against a PJC-centric P/O bypasses I/C since costs / qty are allocated directly to the contract.  Logically, you would think that the system could just show an in and an out in the IC Serial History table and allow, but was not the case.

    We ended up having to receive against a non-PJC P/O and process a Material Usage against the PJC contract (as you confirmed works).
