Exceptions

Exceptions are source documents (requisitions, customer orders, replenishment records, or cases) that could not be processed by running Purchase Order Interface from Lawson Applications (PO100). Possible reasons why purchase orders may not be created by running PO100 include missing information, such as buyer, cost, or vendor information.

Note: When using a purchase order worksheet, you can filter the source documents to display by exceptions.

PO100 reads records from the PO interface table and creates purchase orders for them. Each run of PO100:

creates header records, then adds lines
if errors exist, does not add the line and the PO Header record is deleted (consequently, some purchase order numbers are skipped)

For a list of the records in the PO interface table, run PO Interface Listing Report (PO234).

An audit report is created when you run PO100, listing the purchase order numbers that were deleted during a run of the program.
