Request Changes to Confirm Purchase Order Line
Explanation
Use this activity when you as a B2B supplier wants to request changes on
purchase order lines placed for you. It is possible to request changes of quantity,
price, discount and delivery date for purchase orders lines that are not fully
received/arrived at company’s site. In addition, you can add notes to the line.
Note:
- External service orders and orders containing rental are excluded from
confirmation.
- This action is only available for one purchase order line at a time,
even though multi-selection is enabled in the page.
Prerequisites
- This activity is only applicable in IFS Aurena B2B.
- In the Supplier page, the B2B
option must be selected for the appropriate supplier.
- The option Allow Confirm Order with Differences must be selected
in Supplier/Purchase tab.
- Only Purchase Order lines for the user’s default supplier, set up in
B2B User – Supplier page, are presented
for confirmation.
- Only Released Purchase Order Lines that are not fully received/arrived,
are possible to confirm with changes.
- The purchase order line should not have any pending changes; i.e. there
should not be any open Incoming Purchase Order Confirmation message or open
Purchase Order Change Order (POCO) associated with the purchase order line.
System Effects
When you change values of a line, e.g. price, quantity, an Incoming Purchase
Order Confirmation message will be sent after submitting the changes. Once the
request is approved by the company, it will update the purchase order line accordingly
and update the status to Confirmed if previous status is Released.
However, order lines for which you don’t change any value, the status will immediately
be updated to Confirmed if previous status is Released.
