Automatic purchase order repricing

When you copy a purchase order that was auto vendor repriced, these fields affect the auto vendor reprice settings and prices on the new order:

  • Reprice

    We recommend that you select the Reprice option when you copy an order that was auto vendor repriced. If you do not reprice the new order, the line item prices might be incorrect.

  • New Purchase Order Vendor #

    You can maintain the vendor from the original order or specify a new vendor. If you selected Reprice, the auto reprice percentage on the new order is the default value from the vendor's Vendor Setup record.

If auto vendor repricing is available for the vendor on the new order, you can take one of these actions when you maintain the new order:

  • Reprice the line items using the auto reprice percent that is provided.
  • Change the auto reprice percent, and then reprice the line items.
  • Opt not to reprice the line items.

Catch Weight

If you copy an order containing products designated as a Catch Weight Product, the designation is validated based on current settings in SA Administration-Administrator Options-Products-Defaults, and Product Setup-General. If valid, the designation is copied. If an Actual Total Weight value has been specified for this line, that value is set to zero for the copied order. The latter allows the actual weight to be specified when this copied order is received during Purchase Receipt of Inventory Entry. Similar action is taken when creating these lines:

  • When Purchase Order lines are backordered, new POEL records are created for the remaining order quantity. The Catch Weight product designation remains the same as the parent line (-00 suffix). Actual Total Weight is set to zero.

  • When tied purchase order lines are created from tied sales order lines or from external process sections on a Value Add order, new POEL records are created. The Catch Weight product designation remains the same as the parent line (-00 suffix). Actual Total Weight is set to zero.
