Adding Purchase Orders from Outside Operations

Access the Outside Operation Details form.

Create a purchase order for any step in the routing instructions that involves a subcontractor. You use the Enter/Change Routing program (P3003) to add an outside operations step. To define a routing step as an outside operation, you must enter a supplier and cost type and enter Y in the PO (Y/N) field. When you run the Order Processing batch program (R31410), the system generates a purchase order. You can also enter the purchase order interactively by calling the Outside Operation Revisions program (P3161) from the Work Order Routing form (W3112E).

Important:

When you create purchase orders for outside operations, consider these processes:

  • (Release 9.2 Update) When you change the quantities and dates of a routing instruction, the system automatically updates the purchase order for that operation.

  • When you enter a purchase order interactively and then run the Order Processing program, the system creates duplicate purchase orders as well.

  • When you delete an outside operation with an associated purchase order, the system deletes the purchase order when the original status of the operation remains unchanged. When the system deletes the purchase order, it updates the supplier instructions with the quantity of the value of the purchase order for the primary location and the open amount.

  • If you set up a work center as a valid location, the system verifies that the work center is available before you use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Warehouse Management.
