What This Process Does

  • This report writes to the Purchase Order Master to change the Purchase Order Vendor ID.

Requirements

  • Lines must be used and exist for the purchase order as the outstanding amount in the PO Master is compared to the total line amount in the PO Master.

Best Practice

  • Changing the Purchase Order Vendor ID is allowed when there have been no payments against the PO.
  • No processes involving Purchase Orders should be running when the change process is being performed.
