Hey Everyone,
Background
A big part of purchasing is confirming the orders that are placed. Surprisingly enough Infor does not have a confirmation field on their purchase order screens.
We have been using reference field 2 but that is not the most effective way. We are also working on an automated process (RPA) that takes EDI confirmation #'s and drops them into the reference 2 field. Right now the EDI confirmation# is hidden in the isssues/acknowledgements tab on the PO. For manual orders - the buyers can add the confirmation# into the Ref2 field from any phoned in or email orders.
What do our purchasing users need!?
We need a universal confirmation field on the purchase order that displays the confirmation# so that it can be referenced. This confirmation field will automatically reflect the confirmation# from the EDI 855 and if it is a manual order (email/phone) the buyer can add the confirmation# into the confirmation field on the PO.
Please endorse my enhancement request to add a confirmation field to the purchase order.
