PeopleSoft Maintenance Management Work Order Processing on the Purchase Order
In PeopleSoft Purchasing you can only associate a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order to a purchase order for non-inventory and description only items. Once you make this association, the purchase order schedule is pegged to a work order. You will use the Pegging Workbench to associate work orders to inventory items on a purchase order.
Plus, if the purchase order line is marked as an amount only line, you cannot associate PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order information to that purchase order line.
In PeopleSoft Purchasing there are a few different methods of defining a purchase order to support a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order. These methods are:
PeopleSoft Maintenance Management creates the purchase order staging tables directly so that the PeopleSoft Purchasing sourcing processes (PO Calculations and Create Purchase Order processes) can generate the purchase order.
If the purchase order was created through the purchasing sourcing processes then the fields on Maintain Purchase Order - Schedules page will contain the work order information passed from PeopleSoft Maintenance Management.
PeopleSoft Maintenance Management creates the requisition staging tables directly so that the PeopleSoft Purchasing Requisition Loader process can generate the requisition. From there the requisition can process through the PeopleSoft Purchasing sourcing processes and a purchase order is generated.
If the purchase order was created through the purchasing sourcing processes and the requisition originated in PeopleSoft Maintenance Management, then the fields on Maintain Purchase Order - Schedules page will contain the work order information passed from PeopleSoft Maintenance Management.
PeopleSoft Purchasing creates a purchase order through the award RFQ (request for quote) process, and the requisition associated with the RFQ has PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order information, then the work order information associated with the requisition is passed through the RFQ process and will appear here on Maintain Purchase Order - Schedules page.
Note: You cannot manually associate work order information to a RFQ it must come from a requisition associated with the work order information.
You manually create the PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order association directly when defining a purchase order in PeopleSoft Purchasing.
You manually associate PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order information to a purchase order schedule by selecting existing work order information on Maintain Purchase Order - Schedules page. You can manually associate a maintenance work order to a purchase order schedule even though the item ID on the purchase order does not exist on the work order parts list. A negative price PO line cannot be associated with a Maintenance Management work order.
You manually create a purchase order in PeopleSoft Purchasing by copying a requisition that is associated with a PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order.
Using the Copy From field on the Maintain Purchase Order - Purchase Order page you can select to copy a requisition when creating a new purchase order. In this case, the work order information is copied from the requisition to the purchase order.
Work Order Modification
When modifying the PeopleSoft Maintenance Management work order information associated with a purchase order there are some things you should keep in mind.
If the purchase order is for a non-inventory item or description only item and is associated with a requisition and you want to change the work order information on the purchase order schedule, you will need to first clear the requisition information on the purchase order distributions by using the Clear Requisition Information button on the Maintain Purchase Order - Distributions for Schedule page.
See Maintain Purchase Order - Distributions for Schedule Page.
Plus, if you change the work order information that is already associated with a purchase order schedule, the system will delete the existing purchase order distributions and copy in the work order distributions from the work order itself. Plus, the pegging information will be updated to reflect the new work order information.
