Create and Maintain Purchase Creating a PO by Copying a Requisition PeopleSoft Purchasing enables you to create a new purchase order by copying an existing requisition. Copying enables you to save redundant data entry time. Consider this scenario: You need to order some equipment. To eliminate redundant data entry, you will use an existing requisition as a template.

Dispatching Purchase A purchase order must have a status of Approved or Dispatched and must have passed the Commitment Control budget check to be eligible for dispatch. Dispatching purchase orders to vendors can be accomplished in several ways. Some companies require that purchase orders be sent by mail, while others prefer informing the vendor through phone. Purchase orders may also be faxed or emailed. Consider this scenario: You need to define the criteria by which purchase orders are included in the batch that is dispatched to the vendors. Your goal is to select the parameters to define which purchase orders are included in the batch to be dispatched for a vendor. Procedure In this topic you will learn how to dispatch a purchase order.

Entering PO Change When you update a purchase order that has been dispatched, you create or append to a change order. With PeopleSoft Purchasing, you can create change orders online using the purchase order pages. Based on the purchase order change order template, the Change Purchase Order process creates the necessary change orders from these change request tables. The Change Purchase Order process takes the change order information and creates change history records (PO_CHNG_HDR, PO_CHNG_LINE, PO_CHNG_SHIP) and updates target system records with the changes. Page 52 of 131
In this topic, you will create a purchase order change orders by updating header and line information. Procedure In this topic you will learn how to enter a PO Change Order. 1. Begin by navigating to the Purchase Order page. Click the eprocurement link. 2. Click the Buyer Center link. Page 53 of 131
3. Click the Manage Purchase link. Page 54 of 131
4. Click the Find an Existing Value tab. 5. Click in the PO ID field. 6. Enter the desired information into the PO ID field. Enter "APCLSPO015". 7. Click the Search button. 8. Use the Purchase Order page to create and update purchase orders online. Page 55 of 131
9. First, you want to make a change to the header information for this purchase order. Click the Change Order button. 10. The fields that trigger change order generation become available for entry. 11. Click in the Buyer field. 12. Enter the desired information into the Buyer field. Enter "VP5". 13. Click the Dispatch Method list. 14. Click the Print list item. 15. Click the Save button. 16. Click the OK button. 17. Click the OK button. Page 56 of 131
18. The system displays the Change Order field and increments the change order requests for this requisition by one. You can change fields that are not included on the Change Order template at any time. 19. A change order number identifies the batch of changes that you submit to the vendor for a purchase order after its initial dispatch. The first time that you update a dispatched purchase order, the system displays Change Order 1 next to the purchase order number in the purchase order header. Each time you update the purchase order after dispatching a batch of changes to the vendor, the change order number is increased by one. A change sequence number tracks the sequence of changes made within each purchase order at the header, line, and schedule levels. After the initial dispatch of a purchase order, a change sequence number is assigned to each change. These sequence numbers don't appear on the purchase order, but appear in the purchase order history. 20. Here is an example of batch changes. You dispatch a purchase order containing three lines. You then create a change on line 1. The header change order batch number is set to 1; the change sequence number for the first line is also 1. A historical row is created to store original values for line 1. The header change order batch number is 0 and change sequence number for the first line is 0. 21. After you dispatch the first batch of changes (change order batch number 1), you change lines 1 and 3. The change order batch number is 2, because you are making changes after dispatching change order number 1. Because this is the second time that you have changed line 1, its change sequence is 2. Because you have changed line 3 for the first time, its change sequence is 1. The system creates a historical row to store original values for line 3. The header change order batch number is 0 and change sequence number for the first line is 0. 22. Click the vertical scrollbar. 23. You have successfully created a purchase order change order. End of Procedure. Processing a Change Request After a requester creates a Change Request, a buyer must approve it. When you save a Change Request, workflow routes it to the appropriate buyer for approval. A pre-built workflow for Change Request approval exists with PeopleSoft eprocurement. Consider this example: You have received a Change Request for making a change in a dispatched Purchase Order (PO). Your goal is to approve the Change Request and generate a Change Order.
