PO10.1 Order Days

How is your organization handling vendor replenishment based upon specified ordering days? For example, in PO10.1 under the Shipping tab you can select specific days that you order on for a specific vendor. Apparently, IC140 reads that if you use the order days filter when running your vendor reorder advice and won't pull the items sourced to that vendor on the non-order days. This saves you from creating PO's for vendors on days that you don't want to order from them on. However, I found that even with the days filter on in PO10.1 if a requisition comes through on a non-stock item sourced to a vendor that shouldn't order on that day a PO can still be cut and released from PO32.1...does the days filter in PO10.1 not apply to requisitions or is it based on item type? Anyone know?

Is there a different way you are doing it? Thanks!

Hi Stace...Those Order days on the PO10.1 are used only with the IC140 and thus should be related to inventory orders. You are correct that other orders that are placed for the Item and are not pulling from your inventory and go directly to the vendor will create a PO based on the PO100 running. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the response, Debra. If you wanted to flat out eliminate orders from being created from a vendor on a certain day how would you go about doing that? I can see how you would do it on the stock side, by with non-stocks or specials I'm not sure how. You have the PO100 exclude option, but limits you to only exclude 4 vendors and we'd like to do more than 4....ideas?

Once the PO is created our buyers Manually perform the release function. Although I must say that they don't select certain vendors to place orders. So I don't know how you would do it. I do know that in the release notes for 9.0.1.10 there is a JT -403273 for the PO100. Lawson added Vendor Attribute List field and that is to allow you fo filter what vendors to create POs for. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this on how they currently eliminate vendors for non inventory orders.

I always wondered how Lawson Development came up with only allowing to include/exclude 4 vendors on PO100. Before Lawson, the system we had allowed us to include or exclude any order day in the vendor setup. When we went to Lawson on 8.0.3 we lost that function and everyone complained for what seemed like forever. Some buyers tried to sit on a PO and just add to it as the week went on until that vendor's order day. Eventually, they just let them go and the vendor sat on the orders and pulled them the day before our delivery day. But when Lawson added that function, nobody jumped in and started using it.

Thank you for that note on the update in 9.0.1.10, Debra. We are currently on 9.0.1.8.

Right now our buyers are sitting on the PO and adding to it until the order day. Maybe we should let the vendor worry about that...thanks, Jon. We have buyers here that would love to see the vendor attribute list added! I don't think we're going to update at all until we go to v10 late this year or early next.
