Understanding Outbound Purchase Order Changes (860/ORDCHG)

Run the EDI Purchase Order Change Extraction program (R47132) from the Purchase Order Change menu to generate EDI purchase order change transactions (860/ORDCHG). The system sends these transactions to their trading partner to communicate changes that you have made to a purchase order. After you run EDI Purchase Order Change Extraction, the program updates the status of the purchase orders that you have changed to indicate that the change was sent to the supplier.

If the purchase order quantity or price changes, the incremental value in the Change Order Line field advances for the detail line that changed. The EDI Purchase Order Change Extraction program retrieves data only from the fields of the purchase order that have changed.

The EDI Purchase Order Change Extraction program extracts records from the Procurement application tables and creates purchase order changes within the EDI Outbound Interface tables so that they can be sent to the trading partner.
