View Purchase Orders
The PO view displays the buyer's PO information and the supplier's responses (examples are PO acknowledgment, ASN, and invoice information). When your organization has a subscription to G-Fax, you can use the PO view to see inbound fax images for G-Fax orders.
- Use Quick Clicks, Work Lists, or Advanced Search to search for specific data. The following example shows a Quick Click filter for exceptions.
- Point to a yellow or green flag to view details about that flag.
- Click a link in the PO # column. The PO view opens.
Tip: In certain situations, the PO view displays the following reasons why the buyer's PO is parked and still unprocessed by the supplier:
Parked by Supplier Validation – The PO is purposefully suspended for review based on any number of supplier business process related checks
For example, the supplier needs to check consignment POs and POs with consignment-only items (products) to ensure the buyer is on their list of approved consignment customers.
Parked by Catalog Validation – One or more order lines failed the supplier's catalog look up due to an invalid supplier part number (SPN), unit of measure (UOM), or a combination of the two
- Analyze the color of the line-level text in the Purchase Order Details to see details about the lines.
Options are:
- Black text with a line through it means that the PO line information does not match your information; it does not indicate whether the information is correct or incorrect, only that the PO data does not match the supplier data
- Red text indicates that the information on the PO does not match and that the exception was returned to your organization
