Good Afternoon,

Can anyone advise why the error message below is showing when trying to add additional lines to an existing PO? Many Thanks

Hi @dmoore, It looks like you’ve enabled Purchase Order Change Order creation for your Site/Supplier, etc... In summary, you have two options,

Option 1

You just need to Answer ‘OK’ to above Information Message and proceed. Then access the created Change Order through the Purchase Order Header RMB (Right Mouse Button) option and Update the changes to Purchase Order through that.

 

Option 2

You can check and ‘Force’ or ‘Mandatory’ Change Order creation setups and Disable them appropriately (See below Screenshots. I’m only highlighting most common places, there can be other places to check) and thereby avoid the above additional step. Then the New Lines will be added to Purchase Order directly.  No Information message will be presented,

 

 

Check below Supplier level setup,

Hi @dmoore Apparently, you are trying to add new PO lines through a PR. I think the problem you are having is that, one of the Parameters you specified in the above Requisition to Order Parameters dialog  (Either, Coordinator or Buyer Code) is different from that of the existing Purchase Order you’ve specified. Please check the Coordinator and Buyer values on the Purchase Order No 326379 and see if they are different to those you’ve specified above.

Thank you for your reply - So we have changed the Buy and Coordinator details to correspond to the user raising the PR against the existing PO - However we now receive the message below?

Good morning,

I have the same error but with a different scenario. I want to add to a Purchase Order Express (Order Code 5) a new line from a new Purchase requisition, but I can’t. Why? In Purchase Orders Normal (Order Code 1) I can do it...

 

Thanks,
André Lima
