Supplier log on Supply portal to confirm PO

eg: PO#001/Line1/Rel 1 -  PO qty =3000, with wanted delivery date 4/1/2022, from supplier side, they only can 1000 on 4/1/2022, 2000 on 4/15/2022, 

the expected result is,  when supplier change PO qty to 1000 and write down date as 4/1/2022 in PO#001/line1/rel 1, then another PO line with same PO#001/Line1/rel2  will be popped up with PO Qty=2000 (the rest of 3000 after 4/1/2022, price and other message is the same as original PO status), then supplier write down date as 4/15/2022. 

how to make this happen?

please advice

Thanks

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
