Call to endorse ER#104444 - Alternative Supplier Function PPS171/E not available

David Tollet

Dear Community,

One of our customer is requiring an endorsement on this ER. Would you please have a look on this, give your opinion, and potentially endorse it ?! Many thanks !

Summary : 

 We need to use the “Alternative supplier function” in the PPS171/E (F15)

- In case of “Standard Purchase proposal”, linked to a classic "Type 1" line of Customer Order, we have the F15 to select Alternative Supplier.

- In case of “Direct Delivery Purchase Order Proposal”, linked to a "Type 2" line of Customer Order, the F15 function is not available - so we can't select an other supplier. We use that function for this case, at least 40 times a day.

If I'm not mistaken, this is ONLY prevented if the Tax Method in MNS100/G is '1' and it's a "Type 2" CO Line.

Not exactly sure why Calculated VAT is preventing the selection of a different Supplier though.
Maybe this helps to understand the reason a bit at least.
