Currently, there is a need to create or link Project Purchase orders to Item requirements in order to consume Project PO Item costs upon PO Receipt posting (and not wait for PO Invoicing).

Without the use of Item requirements, the current standard/OOB functionality is designed to consume Project PO item costs at the time of PO invoicing and not at PO receiving.

There should be an option to do so, to consume Project PO item costs at the time of PO product receipting even before PO invoicing) without the use of Item requirements.

Actual/Verbatim business requirement:

"The option to use Item requirements has already been considered but not accepted and the reason being that item requirements will be created for actual deliverable items for the project and not for the direct consumables. This is related to a client business where they are manufacturing the items as well as selling the items so each item which they are selling and is part of the deliverable will be created as item requirement. Now these item requirements will create linked PO or production orders as required via master planning. But during the manufacturing process (Using consumption method of production), if they realize any of the production order need additional material then rather than going through the whole cycle of changing the BOM line, they want to manually create direct POs and consume the material in the project directly. And since it’s a consumption method of manufacturing (where every picking list and route card is posted to project directly) so they don’t care about adding the additional stock item in the production process and want to consume directly in the project since their reporting is based on project and not production. Now if they create this direct material consumption via item requirement then it will disturb the whole delivery process via the advance warehouse.
