I am looking for an automated way (without customization) to ensure that PRs/POs are not created when a supplier / supplier for purchase part does NOT have a PPAP document attached to it.  

 

Backup solution is a custom field that indicates if a PPAP file type is attached to the supplier or SFPP record and only allow activation if the file is attached.

 

I am hoping there is a simpler solution.

Hi,

A possible option is to play with the Status field of Supplier for Purchase Part. So it doesn’t get active until the document is attached. With an inactive status, part cannot be used in PR/PO line.

Thank you Pilar.
I believe in this situation a PR can still be created and released.  It would be the PO that would stop, if there are no alternate SFPP records for the same part.

You could also do something with the inventory part revision date. System will not allow on a PO if the requested delivery date is before the revision effective start date
