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.
