Send Purchase Order Change Request
Explanation
If you are using the EDI message function, you can send a purchase request message
to the supplier by using Send Change Request on the purchase
order. You also can choose to send the entire purchase order.
Prerequisites
- Basic data for the EDI message function must have been set up in IFS/Connectivity.
- You must have entered data for EDI for the applicable supplier in the
Supplier/Message
Setup.
- The purchase order must be in Released status.
- An entire purchase order should have been sent to the supplier previously.
- The supplier's part number must have been entered for
existing no part order lines.
System Effects
- The Pending Changes option is disabled, indicating that
the purchase order is sent via EDI to the supplier.
- If it is an internal purchase order, the message
sent will end up as an incoming change request on the supply site. If the
supply site has the Execute
Order Change Online option enabled, the incoming change request is processed online on the
supply site. If automatic approval is enabled you will get an instant
validation and an update on the supply site. This continues as far as possible
in multiple tiers of internal orders, if you have automatic replication and
approval through all tiers.
Without online processing all this happens in background jobs.
- For purchase order lines pegged to a customer
order line having the supply code Internal Purchase Direct or Purchase Direct, the delivery information not saved on the purchase
order line will be taken from the pegged customer order line e.g. route,
customer calendar.
