Multiple POs created instead of a Single PO

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 54

We are trying to create a single purchase order from multiple purchase requisitions. We are doing this through: 'Release approved purchase requisitions' -> selecting the PR lines -> clicking 'Purchase Order' new. Most of the time there are no issues, but sometimes AX will create multiple purchase orders instead of a single purchase order. This usually happens with month-end orders that are large, and combine many purchase requisitions.

Below is a screen shot of the Purchasing Policy -> Policy Rules -> Purchase order creation and demand consolidation -> Purchase order split

None of the boxes are checked to split the Purchase orders.

What other setups could cause the 'Release approved purchase requisitions' to create multiple POs?

Thank you,

Chris

    HI Chris,

    If the PR Line has different Site details it will split separate PO.

    Default Vendor or suggested vendor if it is different than also separate PO will be created.  

    Thanks

    Hi Nagendra,

    The Site details are blank for each PR Line. The Site was added at the Purchase Order stage.

    Where do I check Default Vendor vs. Suggested Vendor? I can see that each PR Line had the same vendor selected. (below)

    More information on the scenario:

    - 5 Purchase Requisitions - 4680 (7 Lines), 4724 (7 Lines), 4717 (2 Lines), 5079 (4 Lines), 6183 (1 Line)

    - 4 Purchase Orders Created - PR 4680 and 4717 were combined onto the same PO, and the rest each had a PO created.

    - The Site was blank on all PR Lines, and each PR Line has the same Vendor information as the screen shot above.

    Update: Abu Anas identified the answer to this question in another thread.

    We originally thought the reason multiple PO's were created, was the result of different Requested Dates. Our Requested Date matches the Accounting Date (for the most part), so I misunderstood thinking it was the Requested Date that caused multiple PO's to be generated.

    After using the same Requested Date, and different Accounting Dates, we realized Abu Anas was right, and it is the Accounting Date causing the multiple PO's to be created.

    Just out of curiosity, I have noticed also that if one of the Items in the Requisition Line belongs to a Purchase Agreement - > more than 1 PO is generated.

    Hi,
     
    If a consolidated PO is still not created even though you have set the Consolidation Opportunities settings correctly, make sure that the Requested Date and Accounting Date fields are the same for all PRs.
     
    You can update these dates from the form in the screenshot below.
     
    Thank you.
