PO Inquires

You can view information regarding PO balance tracking and filter the information based on specified search criteria such as a bill to customer, date range, and so forth. You can also define tolerance levels that trigger warning buttons to appear for PO exhaustion and expiration.

Tolerance

There are two types of tolerances for POs:

Term	Definition
Tolerance Amount	The system compares the remaining amount minus the committed amount with the tolerance percentage multiplied by the original PO amount. The results determine the tolerance warning. For example, suppose that you enter a tolerance percentage of 40 and you have an original PO amount of 100,000 USD; your tolerance amount is 40,000 USD.
Tolerance Date	The system compares the number entered for the allowed tolerance days with the PO's number of remaining days. The PO's number of remaining days is the difference between the current date and the end date from the PO Entry page. The results determine the tolerance warning.

Note:

The tolerance amount should be tax inclusive. Also, the committed amount should include the encumbrance percentage held for taxes.

Tolerance Warning Indicators

The system uses these tolerance warning indicators:

Term	Definition
(Green = normal)	Normal tolerance level.
(Yellow = below)	Below tolerance level.
(Red = exhausted)	Exhausted or expired PO tracking number.
