Set Up Rules That Create Supply

Set up a rule that uses a purchase order to create supply between organizations.

Assume you work for Vision Corporation. Vision creates a new factory in Denver to meet an increase in demand. Your main factory is in Los Angeles. You must transfer material from Los Angeles to Denver, but Denver is an independent profit center in Vision, so you need a rule that converts the transfer order to a purchase order.

  • If the Requested Supply Type attribute equals Transfer, and if the Organization Code attribute equals Los Angeles, and if the Destination Organization Code attribute equals Denver, then set Requested Supply Type to Buy.
