Restart PO goods receiving

You can restart the purchase order (PO) goods receiving when an attribute-managed item or a two-step put-away process is forcibly or abnormally terminated, or when a program, such as 'Pending Put-Away Process' (MWS460), is open because of inactivity.

Limitations

This solution applies to PO goods receiving on (PPS300/E) and (PPS300/B) with direct put-away methods in a two-step put-away process or for an attribute-managed item. It does not apply to purchase orders that already contain erroneous records.

Follow these steps

Restarting PO with reference to the customer order

  1. Start a customer order and specify the necessary information in 'Customer Order. Open' (OIS100). On 'Customer Order. Open Lines' (OIS101/B), select the cross-dock item to be purchased from your item file.
    When you specify items to purchase in the order line, these options are available:
    • Add or change information about the item on 'Customer Order. Acquire Sales Item' (OIS145/F), which starts automatically.
    • A PO is created directly without starting (OIS145/F). A message from the system informs you that a purchase order is automatically created.
  2. Release the planned PO.

    After a planned PO is created, you can release it in 'Planned Purchase Order. Open' (PPS170) to create a PO. You can perform the release manually or automatically.

  3. Perform goods receiving using the direct put-away method.

    Start 'Purchase Order. Receive Goods' (PPS300/A). Then, select the warehouse and specify the PO number. On the B panel, specify the received quantity for the order lines to receive. Ensure that the proposed location enables cross-dock and that it has the correct location status. Press F14 to confirm the update.

    When you received the goods and reported the put-away, the 'Pending Put-Away. Process' (MWS460) is automatically displayed.
    Note: You can either leave the 'Pending Put-Away. Process' (MWS460) open or job is forcibly or abnormally terminated.
Restarting PO with an attribute-managed item
  1. Start a PO and specify the necessary information in 'Purchase Order. Open' (PPS200). In 'Purhase Order. Open Lines' (PPS201), specify the attribute-managed item to purchase.
  2. Perform goods receiving using the direct put-away method.

    Start 'Purchase Order. Receive Goods' (PPS300/A). Then, select the warehouse and specify the PO number. On the B panel, specify the received quantity for the order lines to receive. Press F14 to confirm the update.

    When you received the goods and reported the put-away, the 'Attribute Value. Connect to' (ATS101) is automatically displayed.

    Note: You can end the (ATS101) by terminating H5 or the job.
Troubleshooting
  1. Restart the PO goods receiving.

    When goods receiving is ongoing, and the process ends abnormally, the PO line status of (PPS201) is set to '75-Put-away complete'. The PO header status is set to '15-Ready for Printout' in (PPS200), and a record is missing in 'Purchase Order. Display Line Trans' (PPS330).

    If these conditions occur, select correction ID 'PO01-Restart PO goods receiving (PPS300)' to restart the PO goods receiving in 'Program Problem. Solve' (CRS418). On (CRS418/E), browse the 'Purchase order number' field. Then, a list of related records from the CRLOCK table is displayed, which includes these key information:
    • Purchase order number
    • Line and sub line
    • Receiving number
    • Warehouse
    • Item
    • Lot number
    • Container
    • Quantity
    • Location

    Press Enter to process. For an attribute-controlled item, the (ATS101) is automatically displayed. Specify the correct attribute values, and then, click Close.

  2. Verify the PO transaction.

    The purchase order status is correctly updated. You can view the status in (PPS200) and (PPS201). The PO line transaction is created in (PPS330).
