Collaboration Assistant Page

Use the Collaboration Assistant to inquire on purchase order acknowledgements, overdue PO shipments, and rejected receipt details.

Navigation

On the Supplier Secure Home Page, click the PeopleSoft PICASO button.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Collaboration Assistant page.

You can begin the interaction with the skill by choosing a displayed option (Show POs Awaiting Acknowledgement, Show Overdue Shipments, and Show Rejected Receipts), or by entering your query.

For example, select the Show POs Awaiting Acknowledgement option to view the purchase orders that are yet to be acknowledged.

Note:

If you are a manufacturer’s representative and transacting on behalf of other organizations, the list of all supplier organizations that you manage will be listed when the results count exceeds 20 rows. You must enter the digit that represents a supplier organization to view the results. Whereas, if you associate with only a single supplier, you can view the results directly.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Collaboration Assistant page.

You can see the available suppliers and the total number of purchase orders to be acknowledged for each of them. Narrow your search by specifying the number corresponding to the required supplier.

That is, if you enter 2 in the message field, you can see all the purchase orders from Eastern Bay Office Supplies.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Collaboration Assistant - Results page.

Note:

While responding to the skill, if you enter an incorrect value twice (configurable with different values), the skill displays a message indicating that it does not understand your response. To proceed, you can rephrase your query or enter help in the message box.

Similarly, you can select the Show Overdue Shipments and Show Rejected Receipts options and view the available results. Rejected receipts can be filtered by date. For example, Show the rejected receipts in the last week.

You can also enter search strings such as Are there any shipments that are overdue?, POs I still need to acknowledge, or rejected receipts.
