Hi All - When running Inventory Vendor Reorder Advice we have just noticed that if we don't process the inventory vendor reorders out of Manage Purchase Requests that day then the items will duplicate the following day - same items and quantities into Manage Purchase Requests. We also verified that running the job twice within minutes of each other will duplicate all items as a Purchase Request. The strange thing is this is only happening in one of our companies for all items. The other company won't duplicate the lines no matter how many times we run it. This is how we thought the job should be working, but were informed that it will and should duplicate until the items are placed on a PO. We are researching this with Infor Support regarding why only one company duplicates the requests until they are put on a PO and the other doesn't. Is anyone else experiencing this? As far as is duplicates the expected behavior and does it always duplicate until the PO line is created or have you noticed it is only under certain circumstances?
A workflow change that could be used is Order Days on the PO Vendor and Vendor Reorder Advice job, however, you are still left with the scenario that all items need to be put on a PO prior to the next run of the job or they will duplicate. What are your thoughts on this? Would it be nice to have the job look at what is On Order (PO lines) and what is currently requested (Manage Purchase Requests) prior to duplicating the quantities? Thank you!
