Work with held purchase orders (DMR50901)

This is a program for releasing purchase orders that are being held. All purchase orders that are currently being held are displayed on this panel. Purchase orders can either be held manually by the handler or automatically by the system.

All orders being held have an order held reason code defined, indicating the reason why the order is held. If an order is held manually by the handler, a user defined reason code, i.e. a code between 51 and 99, is defined.

If a purchase order is held automatically by the system, one of the following reasons applies:

Note: If you release a purchase order being manually held, i.e. reason code is between 51 and 99, the system will check that the order should not be held because of any of the above stated reasons.

For example:

Originally the order was manually held by the user. Reason code is, e.g., 51. The order belongs to an order type requiring pre-accounting but no pre-accounting is defined for the order lines. On this panel you enter 7 next to the order to release it. The order will not be released. Instead the reason code is changed to 30.

For purchase orders a signature is displayed in the Next lvl auth column if the order is held because of limit control (reason code 31) or attest control (reason code 32).

If held because of limit control, the following applies:

  • The order has to be released by the person displayed in the Next lvl auth column. This means that the person trying to release the order has to have this signature defined in the Handler field in the User profile table.

    or

  • The order has to be release by the superior to the person displayed in the Next lvl auth column. This means that the person trying to release the order must be defined as Next level authority in the Signature table for the signature displayed in the Next lvl auth column.

If held because of attest control, the following applies: The person trying to release the order, must maintain the order and enter his/her security code on the order header panel.

Options

Release order Select this option for the purchase order you want to release. Note: If you release a purchase order being manually held, i.e. reason code is between 51 and 99, the system will check that the order should not be held because of any of the above stated reasons. If so, the reason code will be changed and the order will continue to be held.

Selection fields

St
Displays the order status for the purchase order.

The status codes for Purchase orders are:

Order date
Displays the order date for the purchase order.
Handler

Next lvl auth
This field is only displayed for purchase orders. If the order held reason code (i.e. the RC field) is 31 or 32, this is the signature of the person who is authorised to release the order. Note: If the RC field displays 30 (held because of pre-accounting is not done) and a signature is displayed in this field, this is because the order is also held because of order held reason code 31 and/or 32. When the pre-accounting is done, the RC field will be changed to mirror the second reason for the order being held.
Supplier
