Has any one add PO lines to the existing PO without using ADDINS ?

ssuryanarayana

Our Pharmacy  Department fills the PO Items on the vendor's website and later sends the blank PO # without lines.  We get the Invoice that has just a total cost.

But we are in the process of getting line items from the Vendor. 

Do you know how to add Lines to the existing PO ?

Do you use Addins or custom interface or  IPA? 

Need your help in this regard.

Thanks

We have a couple solutions that fit this scenario.

For Ortho Clinical supplies in the labs the equipment is tied in with their system and they monitor supply levels and order monthly.  This generates a supply list that the lab exports to Excel and sends to the buyer who uploads to PO20 via Addins.  We set the default AU and account in the PO header to whichever lab is ordering.  The Excel file has the item number, and quantity.  We add the company, PO number and FC = A to the file, cost and uom defaults from the agreement. Sometimes there are items in the file that are not built in our item master so the buyer manually adds those as specials. We verify the total $ on the PO with the total $ on the OCD file to make sure they match. 

So this may be the process you're looking for.  Seems that the Pharmacy should be able to export their order to an Excel file.  They would just need to add the Lawson item number. Or since you should have the vendor's item number you could do a VLOOKUP from and export of PO213.

But I will tell you that we have a different process for Pharmacy supplies.  Pharmacy orders their drugs on the Amerisource Bergen web site and we have a service PO set up with a line for each Pharmacy location. ABC invoices us which goes through Pharmacy approval and is then the invoice total is decremented from the line total on the match. No need to enter a PO and add lines for every item.  This process is very smooth.
