This chapter provides an overview of the purchase order business process and discusses how to:
Use purchase order reservations.
Create purchase order headers.
Create purchase order lines.
Create purchase order schedules.
Create purchase order distributions.
Cancel a purchase order online.
Use express purchase orders.
Use purchase order acknowledgements.
Create and view purchase order backorders.
Update purchase orders with new item vendor UOM conversion rates.
With PeopleSoft Purchasing, you can create a purchase order online, in the background, or from another system that transforms purchase requests into purchase orders.
As purchase orders proceed from entry to dispatch, the system tracks details and collects analysis information to facilitate future purchases. In an integrated system, PeopleSoft Purchasing provides purchase order line information to PeopleSoft Payables for invoice payment.
A purchase order in PeopleSoft Purchasing has a tree structure whose key components are a header, lines, schedules, and distributions. A purchase order is identified by an ID that is unique within a PeopleSoft Purchasing business unit. The system generates a default purchase order ID number, but you can override it.
Warning! If you manually override the system assigned purchase order ID number with a custom purchase order ID, do not enter a custom purchase order ID that includes numbers only. If you need to create a purchase order ID that includes numbers only, use the “Next” feature. If you enter a purchase order ID manually that includes numbers only, the system may retrieve a number that is already used by the batch process, thus causing it to fail.
Header |
Contains information such as the purchase order type, tax exempt status, and vendor and buyer details. Header information pertains to the entire purchase order. |
Lines |
Contains information such as the item ID, item description, category, and quantity. Schedules and distributions are accessed through the purchase order line. |
Schedules |
Every purchase order line has one or more due dates and external delivery locations carried on a schedule. Create a schedule for each unique delivery address and due date. |
Distributions |
Contains information about how the item quantity is to be charged to the organization, as well as internal delivery locations. Distributions also contain interface information for PeopleSoft Inventory, Project Costing, Order Management, and Asset Management. You can have more than one distribution for each schedule. |
Here is the basic flow of purchase orders in PeopleSoft Purchasing:
(Optional) Reserve a purchase order for future use on the Purchase Order Reservations page.
Create the purchase order through one of these methods:
Directly online.
You can create purchase orders online using the Maintain Purchase Order - Purchase Order page or the Express Purchase Order - Purchase Order page.
Purchase order sourcing processes.
Using the PO Calculations process (PO_POCALC) and the Create Purchase Order process (PO_POCREATE), purchase orders can be created from multiple sources: through requisition selection, as a contract release, as an RFQ award, or from sources external to PeopleSoft Purchasing, such as from PeopleSoft Supply Planning, PeopleSoft Strategic Sourcing (strategic sourcing event), or PeopleSoft Order Management (sales order).
Approve purchase order amounts and ChartFields on the purchase order approval pages (may be optional depending on the business practices).
Dispatch the purchase orders from the Purchase Order Dispatch/Print process (POPO005) or the PO Reconciliation Workbench page.
(Optional) Create change orders using the Maintain Purchase Order - Purchase Order page or batch change order processes.
Receive shipments (optional, except for purchase order lines that are set up to require receiving).
Create purchase order vouchers.
(Optional) Run the Matching process (AP_MATCH).
Reconcile and close the purchase orders using the Close Purchase Orders process (PO_PORECON).
This diagram illustrates the purchase order business process flow:

Alloc Method/Allocation Method |
Miscellaneous charge allocation method. If no value is selected, charges are allocated based on the setting for each charge on the Header - Miscellaneous Charges page. Values are: Matl Value (material value): Allocates charges based on the value of the items on the line. Quantity: Allocates charges based on the quantity of items on the line. Volume: Allocates charges based on the volume of the items on the line. Weight: Allocates charges based on the weight of the items on the line. |
Amt/Amount |
Total amount of the charge. You can override the default amount. |
Budget Status |
Appears only if budget checking is enabled. Valid: The purchase order has been successfully budget checked. Error: The purchase order has failed budget checking. Not Checked: The purchase order has not been budget checked. |
Cancel Distribution |
Click this button to cancel the distribution. If the distribution that you cancel is sourced from a requisition, the system prompts you to see whether you want to increase the open requisition quantity and allow the requisition quantity to be reselected. To cancel a distribution, you must have the proper authorization defined on the User Preferences - Procurement: Purchase Order Authorizations page. |
Currency |
Currency of the charge amount appears by default from the vendor location default currency when the vendor location is specified. |
Freight Charge Method |
Method by which freight is charged for the purchase order. This value can be overridden for the schedule on the Details for Schedule page. Values are: Volume: Freight is charged by the volume of the shipped item. Quantity: Freight is charged by the number of packages. Value: Freight is charged by the value of the order. Weight: Freight is charged by the weight of the items. |
Freight Trm/Freight Terms Code |
Freight terms code that applies to the schedules for this purchase order. |
Geocode |
Nine-digit code used to identify the state, county, and city as a specific jurisdiction. Used for tax calculation by integrated third-party applications. |
IN Unit (inventory unit) |
Inventory business unit for the item. At the distribution level, if the purchase order line is for an inventory item, this field appears by default from the ship to location on the Maintain Purchase Orders - Schedule page. If the item is an inventory item and an inventory business unit is entered on the first distribution line of the schedule, the due date on the Maintain Purchase Orders - Schedule page is validated against the inventory business unit calendar. This ensures that the inventory business unit is open to receive merchandise on that day. |
Location |
Third-party vendor location. |
Merch Vendor (merchandise vendor) |
If selected, the charges are paid to the purchase order vendor and the Third-Party Vendor link becomes unavailable. If you clear the check box, this indicates that the charges are from a third-party and will be paid on a separate voucher. For example, you would clear the check box for freight charges if the freight is billed separately by the carrier. |
Miscellaneous Charge/Charge Type |
Miscellaneous charges are set up on the Misc Charge/Landed Cost Defn page (miscellaneous charge/landed cost definition page). |
Origin |
Origin for the purchase order. Origin codes are established on the Origin Codes page and help identify the origins of transactions. |
PO Ref |
Enter any reference information. The information that you enter here appears on the purchase order approval pages. |
Rate Date |
Date of the rate used in the currency calculation. |
Rate Type |
Indicates the exchange rate type that the system uses to convert between the purchase order transaction currency and the purchase order business unit base currency. |
Request BU (requesting business unit) |
Business unit from which the purchase order requisition originated. |
RTV Credit (return-to-vendor credit) |
Select to credit this charge if a return is made to the vendor. This is available for merchandise-vendor charges only. |
Sales/Use Tax Applicability |
Choose the correct sales and use tax applicability rules from these values: Item is Exempt: Select if the item is exempt from sales and use tax. Purchaser Is Exonerated: Select if you, as the purchaser, do not have to pay sales or use tax. Tax is not calculated on the purchase order and accounts payable does not pay taxes. Sales Tax Appl (sales tax applicability): Select to calculate and apply sales tax on the purchase order. Sales Tax Appl, Direct Pay (sales tax applicability direct pay): Select if you do not want sales tax calculated on the purchase order. The invoice is not created with sales tax, but a line is written to the general ledger for the amount that you must pay the state directly. Use Tax Appl (use tax applicability): Select to calculate and apply use tax on the purchase order. |
Ship From Country |
Ship from country for the transaction. |
Ship From State |
Ship from state for the transaction. |
Ship To Country |
Country associated with the ship to location for the transaction. |
Ship To State |
State associated with the ship to location for the transaction. |
Ship Via |
Carrier or method of shipment. |
Tax Code SUT (tax code sales use tax) |
Tax code for the schedule. A tax code consists of a group of tax authorities. For example, if a certain locality has a city tax, trade use tax, county tax, and state tax, you can create four tax authorities and group them into a single tax code. This is used when the PeopleSoft tax tables are used to calculate sales and use tax. |
Third Party Vendor |
Third-party vendor billing the miscellaneous charge. |
TRFT Rule (transport and freight rule) |
Set the transport and freight rule code for the transaction. Can be overridden for the schedule on the Details for Schedule page. |
VAT Applicability/ Applicability (value-added tax applicability/applicability) |
Select whether VAT should be calculated for this schedule. While most purchases may be subject to VAT for any of the VAT countries, there may be some items or item categories that are exempt or outside of scope for VAT. VAT Applicability is determined by an algorithm, but you can override the default value here. Values include Exempt, N/A, Outside, Suspended, Exonerated and Taxable. The VAT applicability is set on the Schedule VAT Information page. |
VAT Code |
The VAT code is used to specify the tax rate associated with the transaction schedule line. The VAT code appears by default from the VAT defaults table, using the Purchasing VAT defaulting hierarchy. |
VAT Transaction Type |
The VAT transaction type provides a way of categorizing the VAT transactions for reporting purposes. The VAT transaction type appears by default from the VAT defaults table, based on the Purchasing VAT defaulting hierarchy. |
VAT Reporting Entity |
This is the level in the organization at which VAT returns are filed. Purchasing business units are VAT-enabled through their relationship with the General Ledger business unit. On a purchase order, this is the entity that reports the VAT for this transaction. |
VAT Treatment |
VAT treatment for the VAT calculation. VAT treatment is determined by a complex set of algorithms. Values include: Domestic Goods Purchase: If the ship from and ship to countries are the same, and the vendor is registered for VAT, the transaction is treated as domestic. Domestic Services Purchase: If the buyer and seller are both located in the country where the VAT is liable, the transaction is treated as domestic EU Goods Purchase: If the ship from and ship to countries are different, the system determines whether both countries are located within the European Union. If so, the system looks at the VAT registration for each trading partner to determine whether the transaction should be treated as an intra-EU purchase, domestic, or outside the scope of VAT. EU Services Purchase: If each trading partner is located and registered in different EU countries, and the VAT on a service is liable in the buyer's country, the transaction is treated as a self-assessed EU services purchase. Self-Assess Goods Import: If the ship from country is different from the ship to country and either or both of the countries are located outside of the European Union, and the vendor is not registered in the ship to country, the transaction would be treated as an import. If the flag on the entry in the VAT Country table for the VAT reporting country indicates that VAT on imports should be self-assessed, the transaction will be treated as a self-assess goods import, and both input and output VAT will be recorded. Self-Assess Services Import: If each trading partner is located and registered in different countries, and the VAT on a service is liable in the buyer's country, the transaction is treated as a self-assessed services import. Zero-rated Goods Import: If the ship from country is different from the ship to country and either or both of the countries are located outside of the European Union, and the vendor is not registered in the ship to country, the transaction would be treated as an import. If the flag on the entry in the VAT Country table for the VAT reporting country indicates that only input VAT should be recorded on imports, the transaction will be treated as a zero-rated goods import. Outside of Scope: If the supplier is not registered for VAT, or if the VAT is liable in a country other than the VAT reporting country, the transaction is treated as outside the scope of VAT. No VAT Processing: For transactions where the physical nature is goods, if the ship to country has not been defined as a VAT country and the VAT reporting country on the transaction is blank, no VAT information will be recorded. |
VAT Use Type/Use Type |
Defines the percentages by which the usage of goods and services are taxable and exempt from VAT. This is used in the calculation of recoverable and rebate VAT. |

Select from these values: Contract: Select to access the Copy Purchase Order From Contracts page, where you can copy the purchase order from an existing contract. Enter the contract setID, contract ID, vendor, vendor ID, and master contract of the contract that you want to copy. You can copy multiple contracts into an existing purchase order. You have the option of manually entering the order quantity or using the scheduled ship quantity from the contract. Blanket purchase orders are not available for selection. Plus, the system will use the vendor and location or the buyer from the copied contract to determine the valid procurement card information for the new purchase order. Purchase Order: Select to access the Copy Purchase Order From Purchase Order page, where you can copy the purchase order from an existing purchase order. Enter relative information like purchase order ID, vendor ID, and buyer information from the purchase order that you want to copy. The copy function only enables you to copy from one purchase order. If you attempt to copy more than one purchase order, the most recently copied purchase order overrides the previous purchase order information. Plus, the procurement card information is not copied over to the new purchase order. The system will redetermine the valid procurement card or vendor card to be used on the new purchase order by looking at the vendor and location or the buyer. You can copy a canceled purchase order or a purchase order that has canceled lines to a new purchase order. If you copy a canceled purchase order all the lines from the canceled purchase order are copied over to the new purchase order and the status of the lines is made active. If you copy a purchase order that has one or more lines canceled, only the active lines from the existing purchase order are copied to the new purchase order. Plus, if you are using the vendor rebate agreement functionality, when a purchase order is created from another purchase order, the vendor rebate agreement will be assigned based on the purchase order date of the new purchase order and is not copied from the source purchase order lines. Finally, if you are copying a purchase order that is associated with a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order, the work order information will not be copied to the new purchase order. Requisition: Select this option to access the Copy Purchase Order From Requisition page, where you can copy the purchase order from an existing requisition. When you copy from a requisition, you are sourcing the requisition onto the purchase order. The Copy From field enables you to turn a requisition into a purchase order without going through sourcing. If you want to partially source, split source, or consolidate requisitions, use the Requisition Selection component. If a blanket purchase order is specified on the requisition line, it cannot be sourced to the purchase order here. Plus, the procurement card information will be copied over to the new purchase order if all the requisitions selected are using the same procurement card information. If the information between the requisitions is not the same, the procurement card will be blank or the buyer's procurement card will become the default value. If a vendor card currently exists on the purchase order it will not be overridden by the requisitions procurement card information. Finally, if you are copying a requisition that is associated with a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order, the work order information will be copied to the new purchase order. Note. You must enter a vendor ID before you can copy the purchase order from an existing requisition. |

Hold From Further Processing |
Select this check box to temporarily prevent further processing of the purchase order. The purchase order will not be eligible for approval, unapproval, cancelation, closure, or dispatch processing. In addition, budget checking is now determined by the selection criteria that you define as part of the Source Transaction definition for the Commitment Control Budget Processor process and whether you have selected the Hold From Further Processing check box for the purchase order. If the HOLD_STATUS = N for the Selection Criteria for the Source Transaction, and the Hold From Further Processing check box is selected, and you perform budget checking, no budget checking will occur for the purchase order. If the HOLD_STATUS is not entered as Selection Criteria for the Source Transaction, and the Hold From Further Processing check box is selected, and you perform budget checking the budget checking process will execute for the purchase order. If the HOLD_STATUS = Y for the Selection Criteria for the Source Transaction, and the Hold From Further Processing check box is selected, and you perform budget checking, the budget checking process will execute but will only process the purchase orders that are marked on hold. |
|
Click the Change Order button to create a change order revision number. When you click this button, fields within the Header group box become available for entry and the system tracks any change order information that you enter.

|
Click the Finalize Document button to finalize all referenced requisitions for the current purchase order. The system checks all line distributions in the purchase order for the associated predecessor requisition distributions. If multiple purchase order distribution lines are associated to the same requisition line distributions, the system only allows one line to be finalized. The system does not display this button if commitment control is not enabled, or if the purchase order is not sourced from a requisition and thus has no predecessor. |
|
Click the Undo Finalize Entire Document button to reverse finalizing the referenced requisitions for this purchase order. The system does not display this button if commitment control is not enabled, or if the purchase order is not sourced from a requisition and thus has no predecessor. Note. If you identify a distribution line as final for less, you must run budget checking afterwards. |
|
Click the Budget Sts NP button to access the Purchase Order (NP) Exceptions page, where you can view budget check exceptions for non-prorated purchase orders.

If the transaction's comments originated with another transaction, you can click this link to view the originating source transaction. This link is available only if a source is available. For example, if the requisition was copied from another requisition containing these comments, you can select this link to view the originating requisition. |
Access the Purchase Order Defaults page.
If you make changes or add values to the defaults on this page, when you exit the page, you are prompted with the Retrofit field changes to all existing PO line, schedule, and distribution page.
Default Options
Default |
If you select this option, the new default value that you enter on this page is assigned to the given field if no other value is assigned from prior defaults. |
Override |
If you select this option, the new value that you enter on this page overrides any value that is assigned from prior defaults. Only non-blank values are assigned. Note. If you are maintaining a purchase order that is associated with a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order, the system
will not override the changes you make on this page for PeopleSoft Project Costing information (PC Business Unit, Project, and Activity fields) and asset information (AM Business Unit and Profile ID). |
Line
Category |
Select a default category code for the purchase order. Selecting a default value here enables you to order ad hoc (description-only) items. The category entered here only applies to ad hoc (description only) lines. |
Unit of Measure |
Select a default unit of measure (UOM) for the purchase order. Selecting a default value here can facilitate the ability to order ad hoc items. |
Schedule
Ship To |
Displays the default ship to location, which appears on the purchase order schedule as the location to which the vendor ships the order. A change to the ship to location implies sales and use tax and VAT recalculations on the PO Header - VAT Information page. Note. If you change the ship to location to a different inventory business unit that requires closure calendar validation and processing for receiving activities as defined on the Closure Calendar page, the system validates the Due Date value as a valid date for receiving. If it encounters an exception date, it uses the next valid future date as the due date. |
Due Date |
Displays the default due date. The due date for each schedule has the default value of the purchase order date, plus the number of lead-time days defined for the item (or item category if an ad hoc item). You can override the due date by using the PO Defaults page. If the default option is override, the system uses the override value, and the lead time calculation is ignored. If the default option is default, the system calculates the due date based on the purchase order date plus the number of lead time days. When an item changes, the due date is updated to reflect the lead time days associated with the new item. If the category for an ad hoc changes, the due date is also updated to reflect the lead time days associated with the item category. If the purchase order defaults page is set to override, the override is applied. Note. If the inventory business unit associated with the ship to location requires closure calendar validation and processing for receiving activities as defined on the Closure Calendar page and the Due Date value falls on a defined closure date, the system issues a warning. You can choose to keep the invalid date, or use the next valid date on the calendar. |
Ship Via |
Carrier or method of shipment. |
Distribute by |
You can either distribute by amount or quantity. When you select Override on this page, you can set up multiple distribution lines. You then enter the percentage for each distribution in the distribution details. The sum of the line distribution percentages must equal 100 percent. |
Liquidate by |
Liquidate the outstanding pre-encumbrance and encumbrance balances by amount or quantity. Note. This field is only visible if commitment control is enabled, and you select Liquidate by Quantity on the Purchasing Definition - Business Unit Options page. If commitment control is not installed, or you do not select the option to liquidate by quantity on the purchase order business unit page, the budget processor balance liquidates by amount only. |
Ultimate Use Code |
In most cases, sales tax is computed as a use tax based on the tax code applicable to the ship to or usage destination. However, how merchandise is ultimately used may also result in a different tax rate within the same ship to or usage destination. Enter an ultimate use code to override the default tax rate for a location. |
Original Promise Date |
Date on which the vendor originally committed to deliver the item. The default due date appears by default in this field and is updated when the item or item category (ad hoc items) changes. If you override the due date on the PO Defaults page, the purchase order date plus the number of lead time days defined for the item or item category (ad hoc items) will be used, not the overridden due date. You can override the original promise date on the PO Defaults page. |
Freight Terms Code |
Freight terms code that applies to the schedules for this purchase order. |
Distribution
SpeedChart |
Select a speed chart. The SpeedChart field enables you to use a code that contains preset distributions. This speed chart is not itself a defaulting element. Instead use it here to assist you in defining default chart field elements. |
Distributions - Chartfields Tab
Budget Date |
If you are using commitment control, this field is available. The default date is the accounting date, but you can override it. When you save the purchase order, the system confirms that the budget date is within the valid open period date range for the general ledger business unit. |
Distributions - Asset Information Tab
Select the Asset Information tab.
AM Bus Unit (PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit) |
Select a PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit to associate with the asset item. Note. If you consider an item to be an asset and plan to pass it to PeopleSoft Asset Management through the PeopleSoft Receiving
business process, you must populate both the PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit and Profile ID fields. |
Profile ID |
Select an asset profile ID. |
Capitalize |
Designates a capitalized item. A PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit must be selected in order for this check box to be enabled. If the item is capitalized, it can be depreciated before being paid. |
Cost Type |
Select the cost type associated with the item purchase, if applicable. Cost types represent components of the cost of an asset, such as materials, labor, and overhead. For example, you can differentiate between the cost of building an asset and its market value by allocating production cost to one cost type and the profit margin to another. Cost type, in combination with asset category and transaction code, determines which accounts the costs are entered into in the general ledger. |

Access the Retrofit field changes to all existing PO lines/schedules/distributions page.
When accessed from the Purchase Order Defaults page, this page enables you to retrofit the default field value changes to lines, schedules, and distributions on a purchase order without having to apply them to each area. You can make the changes once and apply as many of them as you want to the transaction.
The option to apply these defaults is available whether you select the Default or Override option on the Purchase Order Defaults page.
Category and unit of measure defaults can be applied at the line level only for ad hoc item orders.
Apply |
Select this check box to apply the default field value change to the distribution line that appears in the Distrib Line field. For example, if you select Apply for distribution line 3, the change will be applied to each distribution line 3 that appears on the purchase order. If the Distrib Line field is blank, this means that the default field value change does not apply at the distribution level. In this case, select the Apply option to carry the default field value change to the line or schedule level instead. |
Distrib Line (distribution line) |
Displays the distribution line affected by the field value change. If this field is blank, this means that the default field value change does not apply at the distribution level. |
Apply to All Distribs (apply to all distributions) |
Select this check box to apply the default field value change to all existing distribution lines on the transaction, regardless of the distribution line value that appears. A distribution percentage value (DISTRIB_PCT) is specific to an individual distribution line. Therefore, the Apply to All Distribs option is unavailable for this field value change. |

Item |
Depending on how you set up PO Item Vendor Security on the Purchasing Definition - Business Unit Options page, the items available may be limited to predefined choices that you established for the selected vendor. When you select an item, the description, category, unit of measure, and price tolerances appear by default. You may also choose to order by description-only when an item is not defined in the system. Enter a description of the item in the Description field, a value in the Category field, and the item price on the Maintain Purchase Orders - Schedule page. Purchase orders can contain standard and stockless items, but you cannot mix them on the same purchase order. This field is not available if the purchase order is used with a recurring purchase order voucher. If you perform one of these actions on a purchase order line that is associated with a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order, the system will remove the work order information and the peg to the non-inventory work order:
|
PO Qty (purchase order quantity) |
Enter the quantity of the item that you want to order. If you are using the order multiples functionality, when you enter the purchase order quantity the system will validate the line quantity against the order quantity multiple factor that you specified for this item vendor and unit of measure on the Vendor's UOM & Pricing Information page. If the quantity you enter is not a multiple of the order quantity multiple factor, based on the rounding rule, the system will issue a warning message that the item should be ordered in multiples of this factor and it suggests the correct order quantity. You can accept the system suggested quantity at that time or keep the original quantity that you entered. Order quantity multiples are not validated and checked for these information:
Note. Order multiple checks are only applicable to item vendor UOMs. If the purchase order line built by the PO Calculations (PO_POCALC) and Create Purchase Order (PO_POBUILD) processes references an RFQ and you change the purchase order quantity, the system prompts you asking whether you want to increase or decrease the RFQ order quantity. For example, if you decrease the purchase order quantity from 10 to 5 and want to award the difference to another vendor, choose to decrease the RFQ award quantity. This makes the remaining quantity of 5 available to be awarded to another vendor. If applicable, a similar prompt appears asking whether you want to increase or decrease the requisition line quantity. This field is not available for entry for amount only lines. |
UOM (unit of measure) |
Select the UOM of the item that you want to use to place the order. This field is not available if the purchase order is used with a recurring purchase order voucher. |
Amount |
Purchase order quantity multiplied by the unit price. Appears in the transaction currency or the vendor preferred currency. If the line has been designated as an amount-only line on the Line Details page, you can edit this field. This field is not available if the purchase order is used with a recurring purchase order voucher. |

Depending on the Rebate ID Security Control setting this field will appear or will be hidden. The approved vendor rebate agreement that matches what is being ordered on the purchase order line appears. You can only modify the vendor rebate agreement if the Rebate ID Security Control Setting field value is Update. Otherwise, you will only be able to view the vendor rebate agreement. In addition, once the purchase order line has a receipt transaction or a vendor rebate accrual transaction associated with it the Rebate ID field will no longer be available for modification. At this time you would use the Backdate Vendor Rebates page to modify the vendor rebate agreement association with the purchase order line. Note. Vendor rebate agreements cannot be associated with subcontracting purchase orders generated through PeopleSoft Manufacturing. |

|
Click the Finalize Document button to finalize all referenced requisitions for the current purchase order. The system checks all line distributions in the purchase order line for the associated predecessor requisition distributions. If there are multiple purchase orders referenced to the same requisition line distribution, all the other purchase orders must be budget checked successfully before you can finalize the referenced requisition. If the associated requisition has been finalized, you must run the budget processor to liquidate the outstanding pre-encumbrance. Once the requisition is finalized, the distribution line will be locked down, the quantity, amount, ChartFields can't be modified and the open requisition quantity can't be sourced to another purchase order. You can go back to the purchase order to undo the finalization of a requisition that reset the requisition to its original state. If multiple purchase order distribution lines are associated to the same requisition line distributions, the system only allows one line to be finalized. The system does not display this button if commitment control is off, or if the purchase order is not sourced from a requisition and thus has no predecessor. |

If a stockless item purchase order line cannot be fulfilled on the first receipt, the remaining quantity on the line is canceled. You can then run the Close Backorders process (PORC500) to close partially received stockless orders or orders that have not been received within a specified number of days. |

Price Qty (price quantity) |
Quantity that the system uses to determine minimum order quantities and price adjustment quantities. Select Line or Schedule. If you set up an item-vendor relationship for the purchase order line item, there is a specific price for the item with that vendor, as well as a minimum quantity that you are required to purchase. If you have set up price adjustments for the item and vendor, they may depend on the purchase order quantity. |
Price Date |
Date that the system uses to determine minimum quantity and price adjustment dates. Select PO (purchase order date) or Due (schedule due date). The price date works in conjunction with the value in the Price Qty field. |
Amount Only |
Select this check box to designate the line as an amount-only line. If selected, the purchase order quantity value on the line is set to 1 and the field becomes unavailable for entry. The Amount field on the line becomes available for entry. The line amount that you enter becomes the schedule price and amount. If you have an existing purchase order quantity value, line amount, schedule amount, and schedule price, and then select this option, each of these values is reset:
This field is not available if the purchase order is used with a recurring purchase order voucher. |

RFQ ID (request for quote ID) |
Appears if the purchase order line originated from an RFQ. |
Contract
Contract ID and Contract Line |
To associate a contract with this purchase order line, enter a contract ID and line number (for fixed item contracts only). If the contract is an open item contract, no line number reference is applicable. This brings information into the purchase order from the contract. You may enter a contract after selecting the item ID, or select a contract and line number, which copies the contract line information onto the purchase order line. The contract ID and line number are not available if the purchase order is used with a recurring purchase order voucher. If this purchase order is created for either a contract assigned to this specific purchase order (enhanced blanket purchase order) or a recurring purchase order voucher, the contract ID and line number are display only. Contracts may be used on a purchase order if:
The minimum and maximum amounts and quantity on the contract are not exceeded. |
Release |
Contract release number. When you associate a contract with a purchase order line on this page, the purchase order line becomes a contract release. If the line is the first release to the contract, the release number is set to NEXT. When you save the purchase order, the system assigns the next available release number to the line and creates a contract event. This release number is calculated by simply incrementing by 1 from the last used release number. The contract ID, contract line number, and release number are joined to give you and the system enough information to tie the contract release to one specific purchase order and to view it in the Contract Events inquiry. |
Rebate ID |
Depending on the Rebate ID Security Control setting this field will appear or will be hidden. The approved vendor rebate agreement that matches what is being ordered on the purchase order line appears. You can only modify the vendor rebate agreement if the Rebate ID Security Control Setting field value is Update. Otherwise, you will only be able to view the vendor rebate agreement. In addition, once the purchase order line has a receipt transaction or a vendor rebate accrual transaction associated with it the Rebate ID field will no longer be available for modification. At this time you would use the Backdate Vendor Rebates page to modify the vendor rebate agreement association with the purchase order line. Note. Vendor rebate agreements cannot be associated with subcontracting purchase orders generated through PeopleSoft Manufacturing. |

Click the Finalize Document button to finalize all referenced requisitions for the current purchase order. The system verifies that all line distributions in the purchase order schedule have the associated predecessor requisition distributions. If the associated requisition has been finalized, the system de-associates the requisition from the purchase order before running budget checking to avoid over liquidating the pre-encumbrance. If multiple purchase order schedules are associated to the same requisition schedule, the entire requisition schedule may be finalized from any of the related purchase order schedules. The system does not display this button if commitment control is off or if the purchase order is not sourced from a requisition, and thus has no predecessor. |
|
Click the Undo Finalize Entire Document button to reverse finalizing the referenced requisitions for this purchase order. The system does not display this button if commitment control is off or if the purchase order is not sourced from a requisition, and thus has no predecessor. Note.

Note. If a schedule is a PeopleSoft Order Management direct shipment, the system displays a warning when you change, delete, or cancel the schedule. Changes that you make to schedules here that are related to PeopleSoft Order Management do not update the related information in the PeopleSoft Order Management application. You can tell if you have a direct shipment, because the Schedule Direct Shipment button appears on the Maintain Purchase Order - Schedules page, instead of a ShipTo Address button.
PO Status |
Current status of the entire purchase order. Valid status values are Initial, Open, Pending Approval, Approved, Dispatched, Canceled, and Complete. |
Schedules - Details
Use the Schedules group box to add schedule information to purchase order line details that appear in the group box.
Due Date |
Displays the default due date for the schedule. If there is no default due date, the system calculates one by adding the lead-time days to the purchase order date. You can override the due date for each schedule as long as it is not earlier than the purchase order date. If the item is an inventory item and an Inventory business unit is entered on the first distribution line of the schedule on the Distribution Details page, the due date is validated against the closure calendar definition for the PeopleSoft Inventory business unit. This ensures that the business unit is open to receive merchandise on that day. If the date is not a valid date for that business unit, the system issues a warning for you to accept the date anyway or use the next available date. If the item is not an inventory item, the shipping due date is validated against the closure calendar definition for the PeopleSoft Purchasing business unit. When you create a change order by adding a line to the purchase order on a purchase order that has a due date in the past, the system will populate the due date for the new line with the current date plus lead time days, if a lead time exists for the category. Otherwise, the current date will appear in the Due Date field. |
|
Click the Schedule Direct Shipment button to access the Direct Shipment page. Use the Direct Shipment page to view PeopleSoft Order Management sales order information related to the direct shipment. |
Ship To |
Ship to destination. A change to the ship to can result in a price change, a sales and use tax recalculation, or a VAT recalculation. |
|
Click the Ship To Address button to access the PO ShipTo Address page. Use this page to set up a one-time ship to address for the selected purchase order schedule. Note. You cannot define a one-time address for direct shipment purchase orders. To change the address for a direct shipment you must go to the sales order in PeopleSoft Order Management and make the address change there. |
PO Quantity |
The purchase order quantity for the first schedule automatically changes to the entire line quantity. You can override the quantity with a lower number and insert a second schedule for the difference. The purchase order quantity for the second schedule automatically changes to the difference between the line quantity and the quantity on the first schedule. If you update the line quantity and have only one schedule, the system updates the schedule automatically. If you have multiple schedules, you must update the schedules manually so that the total schedule quantity equals the line quantity. Changing the schedule quantity never updates the line quantity. This field is not available for entry for amount only lines. |
Price |
The system calculates the price for the items. Price calculations can range from simple to complex, depending on the factors you set up. If there is a contract associated with the line, the system uses the contract rules to determine the price. Contract rules include whether to use the contract base price or the vendor price for the unit of measure on the purchase order. Contract rules also determine which sets of price adjustments the system considers (contract price adjustments and vendor base price adjustments) and in what order. If you are ordering items by description only, you must enter the price manually. While price is not required, if you have entered schedules without prices, you'll get a warning when you save the purchase order. This field is not available if the purchase order is used with a recurring purchase order voucher. |
Amount |
The system calculates the extended amount as the schedule price multiplied by the schedule quantity. This is the merchandise amount of the schedule. It does not include other amounts associated with the schedule, such as freight and tax. You can override the schedule merchandise amount here, unless the item definition or contract definition for the item on the line does not allow the price to be changed on the purchase order. This field is not available if the purchase order is used with a recurring purchase order voucher. |

Click the Cancel Schedule button to cancel the purchase order schedule. This button is available if the purchase order status is Dispatched. If you cancel a dispatched schedule, a change order is created. This button is also available when the purchase order status is Approved, but only if the purchase order was previously dispatched and subsequently changed and approved. To cancel the schedule, you must have the authority to cancel purchase orders on the User Preferences - Procurement: Purchase Order Authorizations page. |
Schedules - Maintenance WO
Select the Maintenance WO.
Note. This will not appear on this page if PeopleSoft Maintenance Management is not installed.
If the purchase order was created through the PeopleSoft Purchasing sourcing processes the work order information fields on this page will already be populated with the values that came through the sourcing processes. If work order information does not already exist you can manually associate the work order information with the purchase order using the fields on this page. This page is used to associate non-inventory and ad hoc (description-only) items to purchase order schedules with a work order. If work order information is specified, then all distributions are associated with the work order specified. Use the Pegging Workbench to associate inventory items to a work order.
When you associate a work order with a purchase order the system will copy the distributions from the work order parts template, including distribute by method, distribution percentage, general ledger business unit, ChartFields, and projects information.

|
Resource Line No. (resource line number) |
Select the resource line number associated with the work order, work order task, resource type entered. If the ad hoc (description only) item on the purchase order line doesn't exist on the work order, you can leave the resource line blank. At save, the system will add the ad hoc (description only) item to the work order task. |
Changing Work Order Information
If the purchase order distributions are associated with a requisition, you must clear the requisition before you can change the work order information. Also, if the work order is associated with the purchase order schedule (non-inventory and ad hoc (description-only) lines), when you make a change to the purchase order and reopen the quantity back on the requisition, the system will reopen the requisition pegs to the work order. Changes that can cause this behavior are reducing quantity, canceling a distribution, and deleting a distribution. If the purchase order is for an inventory item, reopening the requisition quantity does not reopen the pegs. You must manually redo the pegging.

However, how merchandise is ultimately used may also result in a different tax rate within the same ship to or usage destination. Enter an ultimate use code to override the default tax rate for a location. Note. This option appears by default from the Purchasing Item Attributes and Purchasing Item Category pages. |
Exception Type and SUT Excptn Cert (sales and use tax exception certificate) |

Calculate SUT (calculate sales and use tax) |
Click this button to run the TaxCalc API process, which calculates the sales and use tax. Use this option when Vertex or Taxware is installed. |
Calculation Parameters
Include VAT |
This setting is especially relevant if each line has separate tax code values for SUT and VAT, in which case it is possible to have both on a given line resulting in a tax-on-tax situation. In these instances, the system calculates VAT, then SUT, either on the net-extended amount for the line or on the sum of the net-extended amount and VAT amount. If this option is selected, it indicates that the VAT amount needs to be taxed and the system adds the VAT amount to the net-extended amount before calculating SUT. |
Include Freight |
If selected, indicates that the freight amount needs to be taxed and the system adds the freight amount to the net-extended amount before calculating SUT. |
Include Misc Charges (include miscellaneous charges) |
If selected, indicates that the miscellaneous charges need to be taxed and the system adds the miscellaneous charges to the net-extended amount before calculating SUT. |
Note. The Include Vat, Include Freight, and Include Misc Charges calculation parameters appear by default from the Ship To Location Sales/Tax setup page.
Exception Handling
These exceptions apply to the Schedule Sales/Use Tax Information page:
If the SUT exception type is exempt or exonerated for the ship to location, the system does not call the TaxCalc API to calculate the exception.
If the SUT exception type is direct pay, the system updates the defaults on the SUT Excptn Cert (SUT exception certificate) with the direct pay permit from the ship to location and calls the TaxCAl API to update calculations.
If the SUT applicability is sales and the exception type is none, then send the ship to, ship from, POA, POA address, and geocodes, along with the extended amounts, to the TaxCalc API. Sales tax amounts are updated accordingly and distributed to purchase order lines.
If the SUT applicability is use and the exception type is none, then send the ship to, ship from, POA, POA address, and geocodes, along with the extended amounts, to the TaxCalc API. Set the transaction type to 1 - sales. Sales tax amounts are updated accordingly and distributed to purchase order lines.

Matching |
Select the matching method for the schedule. Values are ERS, Full Match, and No Match. |
Match Status PO |
Displays the match status of the schedule. Values are To Match, Part Matched, Fully Matched, and Unmatched. These are set based on the extent to which the matching process has been completed for the schedule. The system updates the match status, both from the matching process and from online purchase order maintenance. Online purchase order activity affects the match status if a schedule has already been fully matched and you increase the quantity. In that case, the system resets the match status to reflect a partial match. |
Matching Tolerance
When you use matching to verify vendor charges, the system uses price tolerances to determine whether the purchase order and voucher prices are within the tolerances and thus whether the purchase order and purchase order voucher match.
If you leave any of the tolerance fields set to zero or blank, the system interprets this to mean a zero tolerance.
If you don't want to use the tolerance fields, set the amount fields to 9999999 and the percentage fields to 0%.
Unit Price Tolerance Over/Tolerance Under |
Amount over and under the individual item price that you plan to allow on the voucher and still have the transaction qualify for a match. |

Change Price |
Click this link to set the current price value to the adjusted price value. This difference in prices may have been introduced during a price override or if a custom price was set at on the schedule. This link is available only when the adjusted price is not equal to the current price. If you change the price directly on the schedule line, the current price reflects this change. If this change is made in error, you can click the Change Price link to change the current price back to the adjusted price. |
Sort Value Adjustments |
Click this link to sort the value adjustments by sequence number. |
Value Adjustments
Seq (sequence) |
The order in which the system applies adjustments. This distinction can be important if there are percentage adjustments. The amount the percentage represents can vary depending on the order in which the adjustments are applied. You cannot change the sequence number of system-calculated adjustments for the base price of an item or vendor, nor for contract price adjustments. |
Type |
There are various types of adjustments available for purchase orders. Indicates the origin of the price adjustment amount. For example, the type is set to CNT (contract) if the purchase order line is associated with a contract and the contract has contract price adjustments defined. The system calculates some of the adjustments, including the base price adjustment. You can indicate whether the adjustment should be applied for all types, except the base price type. Base: Base price from the item's Purchasing Attributes page. This is either the item and vendor price or the standard item price. The base price is always the first adjustment and cannot be deleted. Unless the base price adjustment type is user defined, you cannot change it. User-defined base price adjustment types are possible only if you are ordering by description. Values are: CNT: The price adjustment is from the contract. TBL: The price adjustment (discount or surcharge) is from the item's Price Adjustments page. FRT: The price adjustment is from a freight charge. TAX: The price adjustment is from an SUT amount. OTH: Other miscellaneous adjustments. If selected, enter the adjustment description in the available text box. |
Base Price Type |
Identifies where the starting price came from when the value in the Type field is Base. Values are: Contract: From the contract for the item. Item Standard: From the standard item price on the item's purchasing attributes. Vendor Std: From the standard item and vendor pricing structure on the item Purchasing Attributes-Item/Vendor page or Price Adjustments page. User: When the user-defined price is used because the staged row is created without selecting the Calculate Price check box. |
Adj Meth (adjustment method) |
Pct (percent): If selected, the Pct and Price To Base Percentage On fields become available for entry. Enter the adjustment percent and indicate whether you want the adjustment percentage applied to the base price or to the price as calculated. For example, suppose that you have a base price of 100 and two percentage adjustments of -10 percent each. If you select Base, the system applies each adjustment to the base price and totals the adjustments for a total adjustment of -20 and an adjusted price of 80. If you select Calculated, the system applies the adjustments incrementally according to the adjustment sequence number. The first adjustment of -10 percent is applied to the base price of 100 for an adjustment of -10 and an incremental price of 90. The second adjustment is applied to the calculated incremental price of 90 for an adjustment of -9 and an adjusted price of 81. Amt (amount): Enter an adjustment amount. Amount and percent adjustments can be either positive (surcharge) or negative (discount). |

The settings of the Override and Default options on the PO Defaults page affect defaulting behavior on this page when you split distribution lines.
For example, suppose that you select the Override option, and you split 50 percent of distribution line 1 to distribution line 2, the system checks the purchase order defaults for a matching distribution line number (in this case, it is 2). If no match exists, it applies the value from distribution line 1. If no value exists on distribution line 1, the system looks to the next levels in the default hierarchy.
If you select the Default option and perform the same split, the system checks the default hierarchy first. If no values exist, the system checks the purchase order default values as described previously.
Distribute by |
Select the method by which you want to allocate or charge the expense account distribution. Values are: Amount: Select if the sum of all distribution amounts must equal the schedule amount (merchandise amount). Inventory items cannot be distributed by amount. Quantity: Select if the sum of all distribution quantities must equal the schedule quantity. |
Liquidate by |
Liquidate the outstanding pre-encumbrance and encumbrance balances by amount or quantity. Note. This field is only visible if commitment control is enabled, and you choose the Liquidate by Quantity option on the Purchasing Definition - Business Unit Options page. If commitment controlled is not installed, or you do not choose the option to liquidate by quantity on the purchase order business unit page, the budget processor balance liquidates by amount only. |
SpeedChart |
If you charge by amount, you can define distributions using speed charts. Speed charts are templates that contain preset distributions. Select a speed chart and accept or override the default values. |
Status |
The default distribution status is Active. This status is updated by the PO RECON process (PO_PORECON), or when a line is canceled. |
Doc Tol Status |
If document tolerance checking is enabled, the system displays the document tolerance status. The system runs the Document Tolerance process before budget checking when you click the Budget Check button, or you can run the process separately. Document tolerance checks the change in percentage or a fixed dollar amount between the purchase order and requisition at the ChartField distribution level. Values are: V (valid): The purchase order has passed document tolerance checking. N (not checked): The purchase order requires document tolerance checking. If any amounts, quantities or ChartFields are modified after the document tolerance is checked, the system resets the document tolerance status to Not Checked. E (error): Exceptions were generated for the purchase order during document tolerance checking. You can override document tolerance exceptions on the Document Tolerance Exception page. |
Chartfields Tab
Percent |
Enter the distribution percentage for the line. If you distribute by amount or quantity and change either of the values, the percent is adjusted. If you change the percent, the amount or quantity is adjusted. In either case, the percent total must be 100. |

Commitment Control Close Flag |
Select this check box to indicate that the budget processor should fully liquidate the outstanding encumbrance when running budget checking on this purchase order. |
Location |
Internal destination of the item, once it is received. This can be different from the ship to location of the schedule. For instance, the ship to location of the schedule could be corporate headquarters, and the distribution location could be a particular floor's supply room. |
IN Unit (inventory unit) |
PeopleSoft Inventory business unit for the item. At the distribution level, if the purchase order line is for an inventory item, this field appears by default from the ship to location on the Maintain Purchase Order - Schedules page. If the item is an inventory item and an inventory business unit is entered on the first distribution line of the schedule, the due date on the Maintain Purchase Order - Schedules page is validated against the inventory business unit calendar. This ensures that the inventory business unit is open to receive merchandise on that day. You can also enter a PeopleSoft Inventory business unit for items that are identified as stockless. The presence of an PeopleSoft Inventory business unit value in this field causes the items to be received and putaway to the selected PeopleSoft Inventory business unit. If you do not want the items to be received into inventory, be sure to clear this value. |
Consigned |
If selected, the distribution contains a consignment item. If the inventory business unit is not defined, the consigned check box is clear and cannot be overridden. |

AM Unit (PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit) |
Select a PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit to associate with the asset item. If this field is populated by the system, the value appears by default from the PeopleSoft Purchasing business unit or the Purchase Order Defaults page. Note. If you consider an item to be an asset and plan to pass it to PeopleSoft Asset Management through the PeopleSoft Receiving
business process, you must populate both the PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit and Profile ID fields. |

Tag Number |
Enter an asset tag number. The quantity on the distribution must be 1 to enter a tag number. This information becomes available on the Asset Information page once the asset data has passed on to PeopleSoft Asset Management. In addition, the system checks the tag number you enter on the purchase order to make sure it is not already assigned to an asset, when the Allow Dup Tags option is not set for the PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit. If the tag number has already been assigned to another asset the system will give you a warning message. The system only looks at the Assets table it does not look at the interface tables, previously entered receipts, purchase orders, or requisitions to see if the tag number has been assigned to another pending transaction. |
EmplID |
Select an employee ID of the custodian for this item. This information corresponds to the employee ID number on the Asset Custodian/License/Manufacturer page. |
Capitalize |
Designates a capitalized item. A PeopleSoft Asset Management business unit must be selected in order for this check box to be enabled. If the item is capitalized, it can be depreciated before being paid. |
Cost Type |
Select the cost type associated with the item purchase, if applicable. Cost types represent components of the cost of an asset, such as materials, labor, and overhead. For example, you can differentiate between the cost of building an asset and its market value by allocating production cost to one cost type and the profit margin to another. Cost type, in combination with asset category and transaction code, determines which accounts the costs are entered into in the general ledger. |
Req Detail Tab
Select the Req Detail tab.
Use this tab to view the details of the requisition from which this purchase order distribution originated. You can view the requisition business unit, line, schedule, distribution, as well as other requisition related purchase order distribution information.

Information cleared from the purchase order distribution line includes the requisition business unit, requisition ID, requisition line number, requisition schedule number, and requisition distribution line number. The purchase order distribution remains, but is no longer sourced from the requisition. If you take this action, the system asks you if you want to increase the open quantity on the requisition by the quantity on this distribution. If you increase the open quantity on the requisition, you can source the quantity to another purchase order. |
Note. If the purchase order is sourced form a requisition, click the related requisition links to access the requisition component.
Statuses Tab
Select the Statuses tab.
Status |
Distribution line status. Values are: Complete: The distribution line is closed. Open: The distribution line is open. Processed: The distribution line has been processed and is unavailable for sourcing. Canceled: The distribution line has been canceled. |
Final |
Select this check box to indicate that the purchase order distribution is final and, thus, can be liquidated. The system checks the current purchase order distributions for its predecessor requisition distribution. If the associated requisition has been finalized, the system disassociates the requisition from the purchase order before budget checking to avoid over liquidating the pre-encumbrance. If multiple purchase order distribution lines are associated to the same requisition distribution line, the system will only finalizes one requisition distribution line. The system does not display this check box if commitment control is off or if the purchase order is not sourced from a requisition, and thus has no predecessor. Note. If you identify a distribution line as final for less, you must run budget checking afterwards. |

The POA functionality in PeopleSoft is shared between PeopleSoft Purchasing and PeopleSoft eSuppllier Connection. The buyer side of the POA functionality is addressed in PeopleSoft Purchasing where as the supplier side of the POA functionality is addressed in PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection. This diagram illustrates the overall POA business process flow:
POA process flow
PeopleSoft enables you create POAs in a few different ways. You can create POAs in this manner:
Supplier creates a POA online using the Acknowledge Purchase Orders component in PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection.
Supplier creates a POA using an electronic data exchange (EDX) system.
The EDX Acknowledgements component in PeopleSoft Purchasing enables you to move back and forth between the purchase order and EDX POA to make any necessary changes and correction to either document.
See Understanding the Electronic Date Exchange POA Business Process.
Buyer creates a POA online for the supplier using the Manage PO Acknowledgements component in PeopleSoft Purchasing.
The buyer can create a POA on behalf of the supplier by using the awaiting acknowledgement option on the Manage PO Acknowledgements page.
PeopleSoft enables you to view information from a POA that you received from a vendor using an electronic data exchange (EDX) system, and compare it to the original purchase order. You can compare the purchase order and POA at the header, line, and schedule levels.
The EDX Acknowledgements component enables you to move back and forth between the purchase order and POA to make any necessary changes and corrections to either document.
Note. If the installation includes PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection, the vendors can also enter their POAs directly into the system. The search page shows both EDX received POAs and any created by the vendors online using PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection. You view online POAs using PeopleSoft eSupplier Connection pages.
The EDX POA business process follows these general steps:
The purchase order is dispatched to the vendor.
The vendor creates an EDX acknowledgement identifying any changes as appropriate.
Note. It is important if there are changes to any lines or header values that the status within the EDX file is set appropriately to a status that indicates there is a change (such as IC—accepted with changes). This status triggers the status in which the EDX POA starts. If there are no changes to the POA, (the status for all lines and the header row are AT) the status is automatically set to Buyer Accepted since there is nothing for the buyer to approve. However, in order to avoid processing an entire change order without any approvals, if the status is set incorrectly indicating no changes, and there were changes the change order stops between the load change request and process change order step and waits for an approval from the buyer using the Approve Change Orders transaction.
Note. A workflow option is included which sends notification to the buyer when an EDX POA specifying changes is received. To enable this workflow, activate the event Alert Buyer within activity PO_ACKNOWLEGEMENT; this adds worklist entries for the buyer user associated to the purchase order that links to the buyer side PO Acknowledgement search page.
Note. If using POA tolerances defined at the vendor location or at the purchasing business unit options, if a supplier sends an EDX in with changes that are within those tolerances the POA will be set to approved automatically and step 3 below will be skipped.
The buyer uses the Acknowledge Purchase Orders component in PeopleSoft Purchasing to view EDX POAs that need an approval, and can:
Review the changes suggested by the supplier.
Approve a POA.
The POA can be changed at any time before you run the Change Request Load process. Once the process runs, the POA is display only. Approved POAs feed suggested changes such as quantity, price, and schedule date into the Change Request Load tables, which when approved, update the original purchase order.
Note. You can set up automatic approval for POA change requests on the Purchasing Definitions - Business Unit Options page. Once approved using the Purchase Order Acknowledgement pages, the changes won't need to be approved again between the Load Change Request and Process Change Orders processes. (The only exception to this, is if for some reason the EDX POA changes, but the status on the header or lines use the Accepted status (indicating no change). In order to avoid processing something that hasn't been approved, these orders are forced to stop for approval between the Change Request and Change Order processes.
You can run the Load Change Requests process (PO_CHNGLOAD) to load any POAs that are in Buyer Accepted status.
The buyer must approve any change request changes using the Approve Change Requests transaction, if the business unit option to approve POA change requests automatically is not activated.
The Process Change Orders process (PO_POCHNG) then loads any POAs that have been approved, either manually or because of the automatic approval option set at the business unit level, and updates the purchase order with the changes.
Note. Running the Process Change Orders Automatically process (PO_AUTO_CHNG) does Steps 4 through 6 all in one process run.

This section discusses how to update the purchase order backorder status.
Vendors can't always fulfill orders within the required time frames. You can now assign a backorder status, and the new quantity and delivery date information provided by the supplier to some or all of the purchase order schedules dispatched from PeopleSoft Purchasing when you know that they will not meet the specified delivery due date.
When you create a backordered line or schedule for a dispatched purchase order, the system changes the purchase order header Backorder Status field value from None to Backorder. The overall header, line, and schedule statuses remain the same (dispatched, active, and so forth).
The backorder status appears on these pages:
Maintain Purchase Order - Purchase Order (PO_LINE).
Maintain Purchase Order - Purchase Order Inquiry (PO_LINE_INQ).
Line Details (PO_LINE_DTLS).
Line Details Inquiry (PO_LINE_DTLS_INQ).
Express Purchase Order - Purchase Order (PO_EXPRESS).
Purchase Order Reconciliation WorkBench (PO_RC_WB).
Splitting Schedules and Distribution Lines
When a schedule is split due to a partial backorder, the system creates a new schedule for the remaining amount and identifies its original schedule number on these pages:
Create Backorder: Received and Matched tab (PO_BACKORDER).
Details for Schedule (PO_SCHED_DTLS_INQ).
When multiple distribution lines are associated with the split schedule, the system uses a last in first out (LIFO) method of associating distribution lines with the new schedule.
For example, suppose that the original purchase order schedule quantity is 100 and has two distribution lines with a quantity of 50 each, entering a partial backorder of 40 against the schedule results in a new schedule with a single distribution line. This distribution line references the same ChartField and distribution values as the original schedule distribution line two but with a quantity of 40. The original schedule still has two distribution lines, the first with a quantity of 50 and the second with an adjusted quantity of 10.
Note. Certain purchase order backorder changes (for example, creating a new schedule in response to a backorder or backordering the entire schedule quantity), do not automatically trigger a change order. However, depending on the change order template settings, other modifications could trigger a change order.
Receiving Backordered Schedules
When you receive the backordered line or schedule, running the PO RECON (purchase order reconciliation) process (PO_PORECON) sets the backorder status to BO Recv (backorder received).
Viewing Backorder Details
Run the Backorder Status SQR report (POPO012) to view backorder details for a vendor, business unit, item, or buyer within user-defined date parameters.
