Cross-referencing creates a link between the project resource and the
purchase order line. Also, when you cross-reference a PO line to a project
resource, the supply that the PO line creates is reserved for that project;
no other demand order can use it.
-
On the Project Resources form, add a new resource
to a project.
-
On the Source tab, specify Purchase
Order in the Source field.
-
To cross-reference the project resource to an existing purchase
order line, specify the PO number in the first unlabeled field next
to the Source field and specify the
PO line number in the second unlabeled field.
To create a new purchase order and assign a particular PO number,
enter the PO number. To create a new purchase order and allow the
system to assign a PO number, leave the field blank.
-
If your planning mode is APS, select or clear the
Plan on Save field.
-
Select to save the
record.
-
Click Source. The message "Cross-reference
will be performed from the Project Resource to Purchase Order"
displays.
-
Click OK. The system automatically
creates the purchase order header and line information and inserts
the PO number and line number into the Source
fields.
-
Optional: You can click Source again
to display the cross-referenced PO line.
Note: You can
cross-reference to a range of purchase order lines using the Material
Planner Workbench form.
