The MESPAS TSM IDM mainly contains physical parts which can be ordered through the procurement module. In many cases however you want to provide a range of services which a vessel can request by committing a purchase request (PR).
There are two different ways to order services in MESPAS TSM:
1. On almost all equipment in MESPAS TSM there is a fictive spare part with the label "Service" added. If the crew uses this part to request a service it has the advantage that all details about the equipment (i.e. Brand, Model, Serial-No. etc.) are automatically on the RFQ sent to the supplier.
2. If you like to order Services under a separate accounting number you can also enter a subcategory "Service" into the IDM tree. That is done by following these steps:
