Work with P/O pending reason definition has been developed to enter and maintain the PO pending rules.
PO can be pended for approval or outright rejected (by setting the auto reject flag to ‘Yes’) based by shipping method, port of embarkation, supplier, user, or total PO amount in the company base currency. TMSDS/PO-PEND (Pending code definition) holds the user defined pending codes used in setting up the pending rules. The existing suggested order qty, I2SOQ, field on the warehouse file DSWH is now used to accumulate the PO ordered quantities that are in pending status. This is shown as the requested quantity on the item stock enquiry screen, DSI020. When the PO is approved, the quantities are moved to the on order quantity. For PO’s that do not need approval, the on order quantity on the warehouse file is updated directly.
- In the menu, expand Base Modules > Distribution > Inventory Management > Purchasing > Maintenance and double-click PO Pending Reason Definition. DSW045 Work with P/O Pending Reason Definition panel appears.
