Intercompany Orders - Changes to Orders

Hi,

Is it possible to make a change to an intercompany customer order without raising a new PO?

 

Here is a scenario we are encountering. 

Company ”A” raises a customer order for their external customer, but the supplier is an sister company within the same group, named Company B. Company ”A” sets up the supply for the order to be fulfilled by Company B. All lines supply as set as Company B, supply code is Internal Purchase Transit.

  • Customer Order is released.
  • PO is created for the parts to Company B.
  • After a couple of days Company ”A” realizes that a mistake has being made on one of the CO lines and needs to cancel one line and add in ”A” new line with the correct part now added to the CO.
  • This generates ”A” new PO for the newly added part for Company B.

 

Is there any way to keep the newly added part on the existing PO from Company ”A” to Company B? Our procurement have a preference for this requirement?

I think you could use Change Orders to accommodate making changes on either PO or CO side.

Hi,

System should add the line to the existing internal PO if the new part no has the same supplier and supply code configured than the original part in Company A. Is the original PO already closed/cancelled when the new part is added to the initial CO?

Regards,

Pilar
