Additional Tracking Numbers (PO30.3)

Use Additional Tracking Numbers (PO30.3) to enter information for a substitute item on a receipt. Both the original and substitute items must have the same valid unit of measure (UOM). The valid UOM for X (special order) type items is the Buy UOM, and for non-stock and inventory type items it is the UOM defined in IC11. This window is available only after you have added the purchase order line.

More Information

If the item is an inventory type item, the substitute item must be an inventory type item. If the item is not an inventory item, the substitute item may not be an inventory item.

You can view information about the substitute item on PO64 (Line Item History). A new purchase order line is not created on the original purchase order when the substitute item is entered, but the substitute item is assigned a line number for viewing purposes.

Before you can release a receiver, you must first inquire on the purchase order, then add the receiving information, including that for substitute items. Once you release the receiver, the application is updated with the receiving information. You can receive items at a location other than specified on the purchase order provided that if the items are inventory type items, they have been defined at the receiving location. When you receive inventory type items (as original or substitute items), the application updates the stock on hand at the receiving location and the on order quantity at the ship to location.
