Understanding JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement Management for Apparel Management

Procurement is the process of obtaining products and services from suppliers. It includes decisions about how much to purchase and when to purchase goods and services, the actual purchasing of goods and services, and the process of receiving the requested goods or services.

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement Management system integrates with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management system to support style items. This diagram illustrates the integration of Procurement Management for Apparel Management:

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement Management system integrates with the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Apparel Management system to enable you to:

• Create purchase prices for style items.

• Create blanket and purchase orders for raw materials.

• Manage the purchase of stock and non-stock style items.

• Use matrix entry to enter purchase orders.

• Enter purchase orders for collections.

• Release blanket orders.

• Print purchase orders for style items.

• Enter receipts for style items.

• Purge data.

Procurement for Apparel Management provides the following ways to create orders for style items:

• By the style item root level 0 (parent level).

  When you enter the parent style item (for example, JEAN), Matrix Entry displays all of the corresponding levels (for example, JEAN.BLK.36.41, JEAN.BLUE.32.32).

• By intermediate item level (for example, JEAN.BLK).

  When you enter the intermediate style item, Matrix Entry displays all of the corresponding levels (JEAN.BLK.36.41, JEAN.BLK.32.34).

• By collection template.

  When you use a collection template, Matrix Entry displays all of the items from the collection template.

You can enter purchase orders for a collection with the following characteristics:

• Only one collection for one purchase order is supported.

• Items in the purchase order must belong to the collection.

  This requirement is based on a processing option setting.

See "Understanding Procurement" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Procurement Management Implementation Guide.

The system processes an order based on the items that you purchase and the supplier from whom you make the purchases. You can specify the items that you purchase from a supplier to create supplier and item relationships.

See "Setting Up Supplier Information" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Procurement Management Implementation Guide.

The process flow for Procurement Management for Apparel Management is very similar to and uses many of the same programs as standard JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Procurement Management. The process flow consists of these steps:

• Enter purchase order (P4310).

  You can enter style items or use a collection template when entering an order.

  When you enter style items, Matrix Entry (PCW10) opens so that you can enter specific quantities for different child style items.

• Print purchase order (RCW03).

  The Print Purchase Order for Style Items program (RCW03) is solely a report and is not a purchase order print program similar to the Purchase Order Print program (R43500).

• Print purchase order (R43500).

  See "Setting Processing Options for Purchase Order Print (R43500)" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Procurement Management Implementation Guide.

• Print purchase receiver (R43510).

  See "Printing Purchase Receivers" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Procurement Management Implementation Guide.

• Perform purchase order receipt (P4312).

  You enter receipts for style items by purchase receipt or by item using the PO Receipts program (P4312). You do not use the Matrix Entry program (PCW10) when entering purchase order receipts.

  See "Entering Receipts" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Procurement Management Implementation Guide.

• Perform voucher match (P4314).

  You perform voucher match using the Voucher Match program (P4314). You do not use the Matrix Entry program when matching vouchers.

  See "Creating Vouchers" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Procurement Management Implementation Guide.
