Use of PO Codes on PO20

Legacy Contributor

Would like to know if you are using PO Codes on PO20, what type of classifications you are using them for, pros and cons, impact on issuing PO's and sending/receiving EDI transactions. We are having an internal struggle on those who want to continue using them and those who would like them deep sixed.

We have two codes: APPR for POs that require invoice approval by a manager and CAP for Capital. There was a learning curve for some vendors when we started using them. The vendor would neglect to put the code on the invoice but that doesn't seem to be that much of a problem anymore. Not many of these types of POs are sent via EDI but I've seen a few invoices for APPR POs come through EDI and they have processed without issues. I think our process works well and the benefits out way any problems.
