What are parts ordered in ALIS via the SCM application ordered against?

• A. Job control number
• B. Purchase order number
• C. Serial number
• D. Work order number

Answer: (A)

Parts ordered in ALIS via the SCM application are charged against a job control number. This identifier serves as the internal cost object that ties the requisition to a specific maintenance job or task, ensuring accurate cost accounting, budgeting, and traceability from the purchase to the work performed. A purchase order number is tied to external supplier transactions, a serial number identifies a specific item, and a work order number identifies the task itself—but the SCM process uses the job control number to allocate the parts to the correct job.
