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.
- Changes related to the component structure of the package part line with supply code Internal Purchase
Direct i.e., update Qty/Assembly, add new component lines or cancel component lines are sent
automatically to the internal customer order upon save.
