MSCM Reqs Stuck in PO23 with No PO Code

    We have PO100/PO120 jobs which create and issue PO's but for some reason the only way we can get these jobs to process reqs that were created with handhelds is if we have a PO100 step where the PO code field is blank. Unfortunately that's not an option for us as there are certain PO's with PO codes that we do not want sent to the vendor; leaving the PO code field blank in PO100 causes the program to grab all PO's in PO23 (regardless of the PO code they contain). Does anyone out there have this or a similar issue?

      Yes- we have a kind of work around. Prior to the PO100 with PO code blank, we run one with PO Code populated, Release PO = N. This leaves the PO created and unreleased for the buyer to review. Then the PO100 "wide open" runs, then PO120. As the first PO100s are unreleased, the PO120 skips them.

        Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately we're not able to run a PO100 with the PO code field blank as it's grabbing all entries in PO23 and creating a PO for them. We have reqs that contain the PS po code which our Purchasing Specialists are trained to cancel the req in PO23 and use the information in the req to supplement a PO that already exists.

          On the PO100 Filters tab, Change PO Code Option to E (Exclude) and then put your PS Code in the filter.  That should skip your PS lines completely and leave them in PO23.

           

           

          (Also - you know the Purchasing Specialist can add the lines from PO23 to their existing PO, yes?)

            We don't have that option in PO100. Which version are you on?

              Apps are 10.0.9.0 I tried looking for an older version in our how tos but can't pinpoint where that flag appeared.
