Send Change Request

Explanation

If you are using the EDI message function, you can send a purchase order request message to the supplier. You also can choose to send the entire purchase order.

Prerequisites

• Basic data for the EDI message function must have been set up in IFS/Connectivity.
• You must have entered data for EDI for the applicable supplier in the Supplier/Message Setup.
• The purchase order must be in Released status.
• An entire purchase order should have been sent to the supplier previously.
• The supplier's part number must have been entered for existing no part order lines.

System Effects

• The purchase order changes are sent via EDI to the supplier. On the purchase order, the Pending Changes check box is cleared.
• If it is an internal purchase order, the message sent will end up as an incoming change request on the supply site. If the supply site has the Execute Order Change Online check box selected, the incoming change request, is processed online on the supply site. If automatic approval is enabled you will get an instant validation and an update on the supply site. This continues as far as possible in multiple tiers of internal orders, if you have automatic replication and approval through all tiers. Without online processing all this happens in background jobs.
• For purchase order lines pegged to a customer order line having the supply code Internal Purchase Direct or Purchase Direct, the delivery information not saved on the purchase order line will be taken from the pegged customer order line e.g. route, customer calendar.
