Go to the header options (PO20.2) from PO20 and click the Issue tab. Select EDI (E) as the issue type and Reissue (I) for Revisions Include (See attachment). Click OK and then you'll be back at PO20. Click Change to update and release the PO.

Once I've Re-Issued and clicked change, will it EDI?

I'm assuming you have all the necessary EDI setups- ED02, ED10 and ED40, a PO120 job set up to issue EDI POs, and an ED501 job to transmit PO revisions- completed for this vendor. If that's so, it will.

When a PO, that is to be sent EDI, has been revised PO120 will put the POEDI file in $lawdir/PDL/edi/rev. ED501 will not pick it up unless you create a special one to look in that directory. You could just take the file and move it to the POEDI out directory as well.

Were you able to get this to work Diane?

unknown

No, I don't run the ED501 so since the PO failed, I created another one.
Thank you for your help. I saved the information that you sent me.

What do you use to translate the file if you don't use ed501

unknown

The ED501 runs every 1/2 hour in recdef, it's a multi- step job that starts with
PO120 (PO Mass Issue). This creates the file for the ED501.

ED501 then translates the file so that it can then be transmitted to the GHX server.

Do you have security access to kick off PO120 and ED501 manually?

unknown

Yes, I do. Can you send me a screen shot fo the ED501 when you are re-sending a PO?

jon-athey

This my ED501 job for PO revisions. Your data path may be different.

unknown

The file path is different but everything else is the same.
Thank you

Jon: I stopped sending revised PO's edi, because it ended up picking up old purchase orders that were revised. I found the process very frustrating. How do ensure that it is only for the one revised PO?

And don't you have to have the PO10 setup for that vendor under Revisions be setup for EDI?

Vicky, I understand how that could happen if the revision set up in PO10 was set to EDI. Most of the revisions we do are internal and not necessary to send to the vendor. None of our vendors have the revisions set up for EDI. They are all D or P. So when a change is made to a PO the Do Not Print or Paper defaults to the revision but if the buyer does want the revision to resend via EDI they go into the Header/Issue tab in PO20 and make the change to E and I to reissue. Our q 30 min EDIOUT job has three steps: PO120, ED501 (edi/out file path), and ED501 (edi/rev file path) so the PO will get issued, translated and sent on the next scheduled run. Most of the time, the reason we need to resend a PO via EDI is because the first attempt failed for some reason.

Thanks, Jon. So it was more of a reissue versus a revision. The three times I tried to do the process I was burned, with all of these old purchase orders going, that I decided to forego doing any more. But I will retest in our test environment based on your comments above.

Have a good week!

If you think that there may be old revised POs that might also get picked up by PO120 and you don't want those to be sent you could run PO120 prior to releasing the PO you want to send. Then delete the POEDI file located in the edi/rev directory.

Jon,
That is a great idea. I should have thought of that. It was always a last minute fire to manage, and then I ran into that issue, and never stopped to figure out a solution. I will try that. You are always so knowledgeable and helpful. Thank you.
