PPS170 - Warning Message "F" (How do you release a Planned Purchase Order?)

Legacy Contributor

Hi,

A little background information on what we are doing.

We are trying to raise Purchase Orders from a Linked Sales Order. this is all working perfectly fine. However we have 2 Purchase Order stuck in PPS170 (Planned Purchase Order) with a warning message of "F", meaning that it requires Autorization.

The User who raised the Sales Order was not created in PPS235 so they didnt have authority to raise a Purchase Order. Now that they have been added all Purchase Orders Linked Sales Order are being created correctly in PPS200 and not getting stuck in PPS170.

My Question is for the 2 that are stuck in PPS170 - how do I release them so they are created in PPS200? I have tried the related Option -> Release Line (Ctrl + 11) but this doesn't seem to do anything. I have also tried to Actions -> Create PO Selection (F14) but still nothing. Both methods were suggested by Infor Docs but now I have run out of Ideas.

Any help would be greatly received.

Kind Regards,

Qasim

Hi Guys,

Incase anyone sees this, I have managed to fix the issue,

Turns out there is a Signature field on Panel F of the Planned Purchase Order in PPS170. You need to open the record as "Change" in order to enter a signature of Authority. Only then you can click on Related Options -> Release Line.

this will update the status to 60 and will create the Purchase Order when you close the Program.

Kind regards,
