What Happens When This Field Is Activated
- The PO will be flagged as a Customer Supplied PO.
- The user will only be allowed to ship a 9xxxx level warehouse on this type of order.
During Purchase Order Receiving of the purchase order, the user will not have access to the vendor Invoice field. Order line will automatically be flagged as complete.
No Accounts Payable vendor invoice will be required. No Accounts Receivable Invoice will be generated for this order type.
During Purchase Order Receiving Report and Update, a flag indicating the lot was received on a Customer Supplied PO is written to the Lot Masterfile (ICF) record.
As these items are released from the warehouse and invoicing is completed through Accounts Receivable invoicing, the system will read the Customer Supplied Flag, and this flag is also updated to the Summary Bill (FMY) and Shipment Detail (FMZ) files.
Alternative Option
These items can be brought into the warehouse through an IC Transaction Receipt or Adjustment.
