Functional testing Procurement PO Dispatcher

  1. Punchout to the vendor of your choice.
  2. Create a requisition and a purchase order. Approve it using the normal process until it is in a "released" state.
  3. Run the appropriate Mass PO Issue (PO120) job.

    For more information about running the appropriate PO120 job, see Set up Mass PO Issue (PO120) for use with PO Dispatcher.

  4. Using ProcessFlow Designer or ProcessFlow Administrator, run the "dispatcherPO" flow.
  5. Verify the log file (created automatically by the flow) for errors .

    The log file is located in the path you defined when you set the logging_directory value to in dispatcherPO_config.xml.

    Note: To see the input files and the resulting output files, review the "archive_directory". At least three files should be created after a successful run:

    • The original PO120 output file. File extension: .PO120.

    • One or more files with a ".PO" extension. This file represents one purchase order from the original PO120 file.

    • One or more files with a ".cXML" extension. This file represents one purchase order in the target (cXML) format. It corresponds to the ".PO" file of the same name.

    For information about how to design flows and use the ProcessFlow Designer, see the ProcessFlow Administration Guide for your release of ProcessFlow Standard or ProcessFlow Professional.
