Checking for orphan records in Purchase Order

  1. Check for orphan records by completing step 1a or 1b:
    1. Use the report programs only and the Purchase Order application, run PO Orphan Check - Report Only (PO420).

      Select whether you interface receipts from a non-Lawson system that has non-Lawson purchase order numbers.

    2. Use the update programs and the Purchase Order application, run PO Orphan Record Check (PO430). In the Update Option field, select Report Only.

      Select whether you interface receipts from a non-Lawson system that has non-Lawson purchase order numbers.

      See CSV files that update programs create.

  2. Review the results to determine the correct method of making repairs. You can make repairs manually or if you have the update programs, then rerun PO Orphan Record Check (PO430) in Update mode.

    If you made repairs manually, then run PO Orphan Record Check (PO430) in Report mode again to ensure that the errors are corrected. Then, run the program in Update mode.

  3. After repairs are made, repeat step 1 to ensure that no errors exist before going on to the next phase.
