Image: Maintain Purchase Orders - Schedules page

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Maintain Purchase Orders - Schedules page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Maintain Purchase Orders - Schedules page

The Schedules page displays header information for the purchase order, such as the purchase order ID, date, and status. The page also displays schedule details for purchase order lines. The Lines group box provides basic information about individual lines and the Schedules grid box provides detailed schedule information.

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.

Details

Use the Schedules grid box to view and maintain a variety of schedule information for purchase order lines that appear in the grid box. The Details tab enables you to define basic schedule information for the purchase order line.

Statuses

Shipment

Use this tab to define purchase order line shipping details. This information is similar to fields used for the purchase order header. Refer to those fields for additional descriptions.

Matching

Use the Matching tab to view and maintain default price tolerances for the PeopleSoft Payables Matching process (AP_MATCH) that matches purchase orders, receipts, and vouchers to verify supplier charges. If you do not specify tolerance values for the business unit, the system uses tolerance values defined for the item's purchasing attributes.

Receiving

Use the Receiving tab to view and maintain receiving information.

Freight

Use the Freight tab to view and update information about freight terms for this schedule.

RTV

Use the RTV (return to vendor) tab to define exchange returns to vendors associated with this purchase order line schedule. By assigning the RTV information, the PO schedule is identified as the order of the item being exchanged for the item on the return to vendor. A return to vendor for exchange will not be eligible for closing until the exchange item is identified on a PO schedule.

Note: When the due date is changed for a fully-received schedule, the system checks for any supplier returns for that schedule. If there is a return to vendor, the system prevents you from changing the date.

Maintenance WO

Use the Maintenance WO (maintenance work order) tab to define information work order details.

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.

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.

PO ShipTo Address Page

Use the PO ShipTo Address page (PO_ONE_TIME_ADDR) to set up a one-time ship to address for the selected purchase order schedule.

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.

Note: This page is not available for direct shipment purchase orders.

One Time Address

Sales/Use Tax Information for Schedule Page

Use the Sales/Use Tax Information for Schedule page (PO_SCHED_SUT) to enter the SUT information for the schedule.

Calculation Parameters

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.

VAT Information for a Schedule Page

Use the VAT Information for a Schedule page (PO_SCHED_VAT) to review and update VAT details for this schedule.

This page is accessible only if the General Ledger business unit on the Purchasing business unit links to a valid VAT entity.

Expanding and Collapsing Sections

Adjust/Reset VAT Defaults

Any changes that you make to fields on this page may affect VAT defaults on this page. For accuracy and consistency, use these fields to adjust affected VAT defaults or to reset all VAT defaults. Adjusting or resetting VAT defaults only affects fields within the VAT Defaults group box.

Details for Schedule Page

Use the Details for Schedule page (PO_SCHED_DTLS) to review or add schedule details to the selected schedule line.

Image: Details for Schedule page

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Details for Schedule page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Schedule Details

Matching Controls

Matching Tolerance

When you use matching to verify supplier 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 99999999.99999 and the percentage fields to 100%.

If you match vouchers against amount-only purchase order lines, multiple vouchers are likely to exist for the same purchase order schedule line. In this case, the under tolerance matching tolerances should not apply. To prevent under tolerance matching exceptions for non-received amount only lines you can do one of these options:

  • Enter 99999999.99999 in the under tolerance fields for matching to a purchase order.

  • Use Accounts Payable matching rules.

    You can specify multiple matching rules on a purchase order, and on those rules, you can choose to use purchase order tolerances or not. You can modify existing delivered rules (by changing the SQL), or create your own rules that eliminate checking the purchase order lower tolerance percentages for amount only purchase order lines.

    See Establishing Matching and Document Association Options.
