Confirm PO in supply portal to split order qty, how to make it happen?

Hi Susan,

As far as I know, purchase flow is designed in a way that adding lines in a purchase order must be originated from Buyer, and not from supplier. So then, initially, the flow must start with a change in Purchase Order, that would create the corresponding changes in Supplier’s customer order.

But I did a try with an ‘Incoming Purchase Order Confirmation’ by reducing the quantity in original line and adding a new line with a different date and system created a ‘Confirmation Change Order’ to be then processed by buyer and confirm to have the PO being updated. 

So then, initially, this could be done in this way.

Hi Pilar

Thanks for you reply.

Your suggestion to reduce qty in “incoming purchase order confirmation” , - original qty =1000pcs, and reduce to 800pcs with May-1 delivery date, but it can not add the rest qty of 200pcs in the same page, which have to go back to “purchase order” >select its PO#> to add the rest qty line? Am I right? 

The purpose for this question is whether it can be edited by supplier in B2B portal, from you answer,  it is not possible to make it happen right? 

Thanks

Susan

Hi Susan,
According to IFS official documentation, the B2B Portal allows suppliers to view and confirm existing purchase order lines only.
The confirmation screen simply presents the PO lines already created by the buyer — suppliers cannot create or insert additional lines.

From IFS Documentation (“Confirm Purchase Order Line”)

“Only Purchase Order lines for the user’s default supplier… are presented for confirmation.”
This means the supplier can only act on lines already present in the PO; adding new lines is not supported.

My suggestion was only based to an standard EDI flow where your supplier makes the changes in their customer order and then the created Incoming Purchase Order Confirmation already carries the two lines with the changes proposed.
