I would like to confirm the expected behavior when releasing a Customer Order.

We encountered the following situation.

Normally, we expect the following process:

When the Customer Order at Site 2 is released, a Purchase Order is created. Then, the Purchase Order should be sent using Order Send, and the received Customer Order should be approved. As a result, the Customer Order at Site 1 should be created.

However, in our environment, simply clicking Release on the Customer Order at Site 2 automatically creates the Customer Order at Site 1.

The master data settings are as follows:

All Message Defaults for the Customer are set to Manual.
All Message Defaults for the Supplier are set to Manual.

Is there any configuration that enables this process to be automated?

If such a setting exists, could you please let us know where it is and how it should be configured?

 

Actual Behavior
①Release the Customer Order at Site 2.
②As a result of step ①, the Purchase Order is released, and the received Customer Order is automatically approved, resulting in the creation of the Customer Order at Site 1.
 

Expected Behavior
①Release the Customer Order at Site 2.
②Select Order Send from the Supply command on the Purchase Order.
③Approve the received Customer Order.
④The Customer Order at Site 1 is created.

Hi ​@akahirat,

Please check the following settings;

  1. Supplier page → Message Setup tab (for the internal supplier = Site 1): find the ORDERS message entry and confirm Method Default is disabled. If it is enabled, disabling it will require the user to manually click Send Order on the Released PO.

  2. Site/Sales and Procurement (open for Site 1 - the supply/sending site) → Sales tab → Message Defaults section: confirm Incoming Customer Order Approval is set to Manually at the site level - both in the general header field and in any Customer Message Defaults row that covers the internal customer representing Site 2. The Customer-page setting you have already verified is only the lowest-priority fallback.

Regards,

Thank you for your reply.

I’m afraid I’m still not sure how to proceed because the translation was not clear enough for me to understand the instructions.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but could you please provide a screenshot of the relevant screen?

I would like to know which part I should check and where I need to make the necessary settings.

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,
