Hi,

I'm looking for a (hopefully within standard ERP) solution on how to manage open po lines that have an issue.
In our case, this is often a technical issue which results in leadtime issues. Though we are struggling to maintain these open po's, since there is no expected delivery date, however the system always shows either the requested or confirmed delivery date in the Net Requirements screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi partner,

It depends on how you are going to handle your open orders, but no matter how you handle them. But I think there is some customization that needs to be done and the standard functionality may not do what you want.

Hi Mark,

I am struggling with this one .I am not sure what you would like to happen? From the released product, when you look at the Net Requirements screen you would prefer that these PO line quantities not be seen and accumulated, so quantities not considered? Yet leave the PO Line in an Open State?

You do not want to cancel the quantity on that PO Line, because you still need it and you cant order it from another vendor ? If that is the case, being aware that the vendor will not be able to deliver the goods at the required date, why not seek a better date from the vendor and change the Confirmation Date to reflect that more realistic date?

Regards,

Danny

Switching vendor is usually no option, we are bound to that vendor because of custom made toolings.

So what we do is remove confirmed date and adjust requested date to a new "best guess" together with the vendor.

However we want to see this visual in the Net Requirments screen because this screen is the go to screen for both sales as supply chain.

We already have a customization making the purchase order line red when it's not confirmed.

If there is no standard functionality we need to expand this funciton.

Hi Mark,

I think that extension would be the way to go. I can't see what standard function would be available to discriminate a PO line from the other PO lines.
