Proposed purchase order

Through the Proposed Purchase Order (Proposed PO) module, customers and suppliers can negotiate terms of an order before it becomes a discrete purchase order. Negotiation is limited to discrete POs only. Discrete POs undergoing negotiation, known as proposed purchase orders, are stored separately from discrete POs. A proposed PO becomes a discrete PO after the customer approves the proposed PO.

For a specific proposed PO, the Deliver To address of the location to which parts are to be delivered can be selected. As well, the name of the customer contact (planner) associated with the order can be specified.
