Hello, please consider endorsing ER 119262! It would reduce manual work and custom builds significantly!
Summary: Give customers the ability to create purchase orders from 855s through purchase order import on specific vendors when the PO# is not recognized. The PO# could be put in reference1 for matching. This process could be used for vendors that are EDI capable but are not punchout capable.
Business Impact: Migrating from Lawson V9 to Cloudsuite limited our ability to ‘reserve’ PO numbers for specific vendors. In Lieu of, we create thousands of empty PO headers each month and provide them on a spreadsheet to our end users. They input the Infor PO# on the vendors ordering portal. Upon pick, an 855 is generated and the vendor creates a flat file with the entire days’ worth of orders. We pick up the file and an IPA processes it. The PO header is updated, PO line details are added, and the order is released. The vendor sends 810s and 856s for matching. Due to process faults, there are many unmatched invoices each month. The unmatched invoices are paid on memo bill. Many hours are spent reviewing details of the memo bill and the amount is increasing. We need a more efficient way to create purchase orders for vendors that do not support punchout and the order needs to start in their system.
Workaround: Custom IPAs and a rejection workflow.
