RUN_PO_POCREATE |
Enter the selection criteria for the Create Purchase Orders process and run the process. |
The Create Purchase Orders Application Engine process (PO_POCREATE) uses rows in the staging tables that have been processed by the PO Calculations process to create purchase orders. The Create Purchase Orders process maintains the purchase order groupings created by the PO Calculations process to create purchase orders.
The Create Purchase Orders process determines the purchase order ID, assigns line, schedule, and distribution numbers, and creates contract release information for staged rows in the PO_ITM_STG_UD table that meet the selection criteria and are in a B (Ready) status. When the Create Purchase Orders process is complete, PO_ITM_STG and PO_ITM_STG_UD are updated with a stage status of C and also reflect the assigned purchase order keys and supplier.
If you run the PO Dispatch/Print SQR Report process (POPO005) after this process, the system dispatches purchase orders that were configured on the run control page to be created in Approved status.
Use the Create Purchase Orders page (RUN_PO_POCREATE) to enter the selection criteria for the Create Purchase Orders process and run the process.
