Hey Everyone,
Backorders
I know we are all having problems with backorders. Surprisingly, Infor has no way to designate PO lines that are on backorder! I have entered an enhancement request to add a backorder field to the PO line and build a delivered report for backordered PO lines. This is a much needed enhancement for Infor.

EDI UOM Problems for Items
I brought this up in the EDI ask the experts call. We have vendors using UOM's that don't mesh with what the actual UOM is. Out of the many vendors that do this, I have only experienced about 5% of them will change the UOM to what it should be. Example: a package of zip ties on their website/contract by the pack of 100, but when you send through an order for a PK they give you an acknowledgement for EA at the PK price, and an Invoice for EA at the PK price. They have the PK of 100 zip ties as an EA in their system. We need a way to manage this, reduce exceptions, and extra work. An enhancement to assign a substitution in the EDI table for a specific Item+UOM to a supplier value UOM mapping. And an inbound mapping for invoices as well.

Thank you,
