Hello Community,
It is my understanding that Item requirements will be used in PM&A to track any item consumption for a customer facing Time and Material project and process the Picking, Pack slip update and Invoicing. I also see the ability to create multiple 'Sales orders' from the Item task on a Project form in D365. The only difference I have noted so far is even though I can create multiple Sales orders for a Project and process the picking, packing it does not allow me to invoice from the SO which is understandable considering that we have to run an invoice proposal from PM&A. On the other end, I know there will be one item requirement for the duration of a project that will be opened and closed as we take the items associated through the Picking, Packing, and Invoicing process.
My questions are as follows:
1. What are the disadvantages of using SOs created from the Project Item task instead of the Item requirement, because the customer is looking to have multiple SOs anyway for a project
2. What are the disadvantages of using Item requirements instead of SOs for a project other than having one item requirement for the duration of the project.
3. Is there a documentation where Microsoft suggests to use Sales orders vs. Item requirements and in which scenario will each one best lend itself? I searched and have not been able to find anything.
