Notification of Late Delivery of Purchase Order

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Lovisa LH 29

Dear helpful colleagues

I receive email notices regularly from shipping companies letting us know when a ship is delayed and the expected new arrival time at port.

I would like to add this info into NAV on the relevant purchase order, so staff can find it easily without trawling through emails

I was thinking of just changing Planned Receipt Date on the Purchase Order Lines, and adding a note there.

But I wondered if anyone has any other solutions?

    Hi Lovisa,

    What kind of solution you are looking for?

    Are you looking for to automatic fill this information in the PO lines? If yes, I am sure you need to take help from your development partner to write some custom logic for your by reading the email and then modify the values in particular Line. Or you can ask your vendors to provide you any Data in CSV format so that you can directly create an XML port and read them through your Development partner's help.

    Check if it work for you.

    Good afternoon Nitin,

    No nothing as complicated as that. I will write a note manually on the PO lines.

    Just want to hear if this s the best way to share info about late deliveries, or if there is some better way to do it!

    Hi Lovisa,

    Yes I did the same thing in the past, but I had always received the CSV file from my vendors, and kept in my FTP folder, and wrote a custom routine so that I can read those CSV file and automatically insert or put the values in PO lines.

    So I dont think we have any other way out to fill the values in particular PO line except any custom changes in the system.

    Thanks.
