Title: IN-B Sources - Require / Alert No Vendor - R Type
Post by cpitta on 05/25/07 at 09:55:27

A short time ago we began to impliment WO - Q (Convert WO to PO) to streamline our purchasing process. Part of the WO to PO process requires type R items to have a vendor set up at the item level (IN-B). We are running into issues where those entering new type R items are not always entering a supplier - which defeats the purpose of using the WO to PO process. It would be great to have at the minimum a warning that alerts a user that they have not entered a vendor for an R type item - ideally I would like it to be required that a vendor is entered for all R type items.

MR-H (?plus other MR-'s?) is the same - no vendor, not report . I have "?" vendor for temporary use.
Either requiring a vendor in IN-B or allowing the routines to function / report with a blank vendor would work for me.

How do you get WO-Q? I don't have it as a menu choice. I looked in SD-Q in the MFG tab and don't see a way to turn this feature on.

I am on DBA V2004.1 with IS Tech Support Update 5/1/07.

What am I missing?

By the way, I did check PS-B to make sure I had menu access. There is a Y under the Q column for Work Orders.

Convert WO to PO is an add-on that cpitta has purchased that converts all type R parts on WO BOM to PO if they are not available in stock.

We do almost all of our purchasing for specific jobs; and therefore, on our POs we line item dedicate each item to a specific job work order. The WO to PO conversion works great! (when preferred suppliers are set up for all the R type items on the BOM). It reduces the amount of time purchasing takes to produce POs from BOMs. Also, it can automatically apply any R type items that may be in stock to the job.
