PO Confirmations and Auditing
I would like to hear how other organizations are recording PO confirmations within Lawson and if you are putting confirmations in Lawson how are you auditing those for expediting and follow-up?
We are currently putting confirmations in the Comments to Print on Purchase Order option for the PO after we get them and are thinking about using an SSIS package to query comments and send a daily e-mail to buyers showing which PO's don't have a confirmation recorded from the day before. Not sure this is the best way...now we do have GHX, but of course that only accounts for EDI orders. We don't have a lot of MetaTrade, but then again the vendor has to manually confirm those which doesn't always happen. Either way Lawson doesn't pull the confirmation number from the 855 and put it on the PO anywhere. The only way that I am aware of for knowing a PO has been acknowledge in Lawson is by looking at PO66.1 PO Revision History. Thanks in advance for your responses.
