Characteristics on purchase order

Hello All,

We noticed the following issue: when you have normal purchase order with certain characteristics (from the part catalog) send to a supplier it gets delivered and closed. If the characteristics are updated later on in the part catalog it has an effect on all the existing purchase orders, even the ones that are delivered/closed already. From a point of traceability and data integrity this is not desirable. How do other customers deal with this?

 

Best Regards

Hi @koenders ,

What do you mean by “it has an effect on all the existing purchase orders, even the ones that are delivered/closed already”. How do you check the characteristic of the parts for the closed purchase orders?

Regards,

Pilar

How do the characteristics from the Master Part get to the Purchase Order line, or are they just printed as part of the Purchase Order report?

What I mean with “it has an effect on all the existing purchase orders, even the ones that are delivered/closed already” is that when we change one of the characteristics all purchase orders are updated with that changed parameter. That is not desirable from a data integrity point of view

How do the characteristics from the Master Part get to the Purchase Order line, or are they just printed as part of the Purchase Order report? → The entered characteristics are just printed on the purchase order. How and what triggers that I must admit that I do not know.
