EP Vendor portal error acecpting purchase inquiries

Posted on by 593

Hi

We use the Vendor Portal in EP to "send" purchase inquiries to the Vendors. They have external Access by using formBased authentication. and the external users are "mapped" Vendors. If PO have different accountnumbers in OrderAccount and Invoice account we get the folling error

updating external status Posting Purchase order: POxxxxxxx Invoice account reference xxxxxx in purchase POxxxxxxx does not exist

Does anyone know the Problem?

    Hello

    I was able to debug now, but only If I am logged in at EP with my account not with the one who generates the error.

    In this case everything is fine as well

    It happens only if the external Vendor portal user (with relation to the order account vendor) accepts the inquiry.

    As mentioned the Account are all in the System and the error only occurs from EP not in the Client where it should happen as well if data is missing

    Well I am not sure if it is a mess in masterdata. Both order account and invoice account are there in the system. And the "acceptance" is shown in AX as well, but the automatic confirmation in AX is blocked after the error in EP

    Hi CRSW,

    In this case, I would suggest that you talk to your purchasing management who should clean up the master data.

    The EP portal issue is 'just' one problem that arises from having not very good master data and you should possibly try to fix the problem from the 'root'.

    I don't see that there is a functional problem or anything we can help you with except suggesting cleaning your masterdata.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hello CRSW,

    If I understand your feedback correctly then the problem is related to your vendor master data and the fact that you have multiple / different order and invoice accounts setup.

    Is that right?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    They can see there inquiries but when the vendor accepts an inquiry having a different invoice account the invoice account cannot be found. but it exists.

    Hi CRSW,

    I don't understand how this happens.

    if your vendors log into EP can't they find 'their' vendor record? Do you possibly have duplicates and are all vendors affected by this problem?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi CRSW,

    I can find two places triggering the mentioned error.  Both refers to vendor not found using the particular invoice account using Table\VendTable\exist().  Did you check vendor account does exist with the given invoice account?  Another possibility could be that vendor portal somehow alter the invoice account that AX trace may tell more if it can replicated.
