Purchase Contract Change Request (tdpur3600m100)

Use this session to specify, update, and process a change request for an original (actual) purchase contract and its linked purchase contract lines.

The purchase contract change request and change request lines are displayed on one screen.

How to use this session

This session provides a side to side view of the field values for the original contract (on the left) and for the change request (on the right). You can update a selection of fields for the change request. The availability of fields depends on the status of the actual purchase contract.

Because this session is a copy of the original contract in the Purchase Contract (tdpur3600m000) session, refer to the Help of that session for an explanation of the fields. In this session, only the fields that are unique or different for the change request are explained.

Tabs

The lines on the tabs refer to these sessions:

 

Original Purchase Contract

The number of the original purchase contract for which the change request is created.

Change Request

The number that identifies the change request.

Revision

The revision number of the change request, which is increased with every (submit for) approval of the change request.

Change Request Status

The status of the change request.

Allowed values

  • Created
    The change request is created and can be updated.
  • Approved
    The change request is approved.
  • Modified
    The change request is modified after approval.
  • Closed
    The change request is processed and cannot be updated. The linked document is updated and unlocked.
  • Canceled
    The change request is canceled. The linked document is unlocked.
Workflow Status

The status that is applicable if the business object requires authorization approval using ION Workflow.

When you perform a change that requires authorization, a checked-out version is automatically created for the business object. The changes you submit are only effective after approval/check-in. You can also undo your changes, or recall your submitted changes.

  • Checked-out and checked-in objects are displayed in the Checked-out Objects (ttocm9599m000) session.
  • From the appropriate menu of this session, select Workflow and execute the required action for the business object.

Allowed values

If the business object is checked out, this field displays an Object status.

If the business object is checked in, this field displays an Approval status.

If a description is specified for the object type in the Workflow Information Fields (ttocm0106m000) session (which is displayed as a tab in the Object Types (ttocm0102m000) session), regardless if the object is checked in or out, this field always displays the value of the appropriate Description field.

Note

For more information on setting up and using ION Workflow for business objects in LN, refer to the Infor LN Integration Guide for Infor ION Workflows and Monitors.
