Inbound Purchase Orders

You might receive inbound purchase orders, for example, if you are using a third-party manufacturing system and need to create a purchase order in Procurement software. In this example, the manufacturing system maps the data to a flat file.

The Inbound Flat File Conversion program (R47002C) copies the data from a flat file to the Purchase Order Header Unedited Transaction Table (F4301Z1) and the Purchase Order Detail Unedited Transaction Table (F4311Z1) if you have set up a flat file cross-reference to these tables.

Note: The system provides transaction type JDEPOIN for inbound purchase order transactions.

You run the Inbound Purchase Order program (R4311Z1I) to copy the information from these unedited transaction tables to the Purchase Order Header table (F4301) and the Purchase Order Detail File table (F4311).
