through Oracle Applications.
(N) Invoice > Entry > Invoice Batches Summary (M) Query > Find (B) Approve
This simplified path translates to the following:
1.
(N) From the Navigator window, select Invoice then Entry then Invoice Batches
Summary.
2.
(M) From the menu, select Query then Find.
3.
(B) Click the Approve button.

Typographical Conventions in Help System Paths

This course uses a navigation path convention to represent actions you perform to find
pertinent information in the Oracle Applications Help System.
The following help navigation path, for example
(Help) General Ledger > Journals > Enter Journals
represents the following sequence of actions:
1.
In the navigation frame of the help system window, expand the General Ledger entry.
2.
Under the General Ledger entry, expand Journals.
3.
Under Journals, select Enter Journals.
4.
Review the Enter Journals topic that appears in the document frame of the help system
window.

Standard Purchase Order
A one-time commitment to purchase goods or services. You create standard purchase orders
when you know the details of the goods or services, estimated costs, quantities, delivery
schedules, and accounting distributions.
Planned Purchase Order
A long-term purchase agreement committing you to buy goods or services. Planned purchase
orders include tentative delivery schedules and accounting distributions. Create planned
releases to authorize suppliers to ship.
Blanket Purchase Agreement
A long-term agreement allowing for stable pricing over the life of the agreement, while also
allowing flexible order quantity commitments and delivery schedules. Pricing on blanket
purchase agreements can include break pricing. You typically use this agreement when
negotiating volume discounts on individual items. Create blanket releases to authorize
suppliers to ship.

A master terms and conditions document. Typically use contract purchase agreements when
negotiating pricing on a volume of business to manage terms and conditions. Suppliers are
authorized to ship through standard purchase order lines referencing the contract. Contracts
can be coupled with a catalog quotation to reference pricing on a per item basis.

Demand for Goods or Services
Import requisitions from created from demand generated in Materials Requirements Planning
(MRP), Inventory, Work-in-Process (WIP), Order Management or other non-Oracle systems.
Demand can also be generated manually through detail entry, with the assistance of requisition
templates, or through the iProcurement module.
Sourcing
Goods or services can be sourced from external suppliers through the creation of purchase
orders or from within the organization through the creation of internal sales orders.

Purchase Order Components and Record Structure

Header
Each purchase order has a header that provides the suppliers name/number and address
(through sites), basic ship-to and bill-to addresses (through locations) and a status.
Lines
Goods or services ordered are listed on the Lines region, including quantities, price, need-by
date, notes to supplier and price reference information. You can order system items or onetime items (a category and description). Even companies who are not inventory focused can
benefit from defining system items to reduce data entry requirements for their staff.
Shipments
Use the Shipments window to specify inventory organizations, ship-to locations and the date
you want your supplier to deliver the items on the purchase order line. A purchase order line
with a quantity of six items can, for example, have two scheduled shipments on separate dates.
Distributions
Use the purchase order Distributions window to enter distribution information for purchase
order shipments or to view distributions that Purchasing has automatically created for you.

Using the AutoCreate form is a common method to produce purchase documents from
requisitions. Other methods include:
Purchasing Document Open Interface
PO Create Documents workflow
Copy Document
Requisition Line Pool
You can use the AutoCreate window to query requisition lines with a status of Approved to
place on purchase orders. You can query lines for different requisitions, different items,
different suggested suppliers, different departments, etc. You may be able to lower unit prices
by combining multiple requisition lines and taking advantage of volume discount purchases.
Automatic Mode Versus Manual Mode
After buyers query and select requisition lines, they can choose to use either Automatic
creation mode or Manual creation mode to place requisition lines on purchase documents.
You generally select manual creation mode only when you need to specify exact ordering and
grouping of requisition lines on a purchase document.

Definition
You generally create standard purchase orders for one-time purchases of various items when
you know the details of the goods or services you require, including costs, quantities, delivery
schedules and accounting distributions. Each standard purchase order line can have multiple
shipments, and you can distribute the quantity of each shipment across multiple charge
accounts, projects, tasks and requestors.
Binding agreement
The original copy of the purchase order you send to your supplier is a legal offer to buy. A
binding purchase contract does not exist until the supplier accepts your offer either by
performing the contract (by shipping goods) or formally accepting the offer by contacting you
verbally or in writing. You can record acceptances on behalf of your suppliers or they can do
it using iSupplier Portal. The Send Notifications for Purchasing Documents process will send
you a notification if a required acceptance is not recorded by the required date.

Simplify the Entry of Purchase Orders - Preferences

Definition
Use the Preferences window to enter values that will default to all purchase order headers,
lines, shipments and distributions that you enter. By using preferences, you have essentially
gained an additional level of defaults in the Default Value Hierarchy. Recall that the
Purchasing Default Value Hierarchy includes the following: Financials Options,
Purchasing/Receiving Options, Supplier, Supplier Site, Item and PO Documents.
Benefits
Although setting preferences is optional, you will want to selectively enter preferences for data
that would be repetitively entered on multiple lines, shipments or distributions. Preferences,
therefore, reduce the amount of data entry required to complete purchase orders. For example,
if youre creating a purchase order for four items, all of which are needed by the same date,
specify a Need-By date in the Preferences window that will default to all four lines. If,
however, all four items were needed by a different date, it wouldnt save any time to use the
Preferences window to specify a Need-By date.
How Long are Preferences Effective?

explicitly clear or change them.
Apply Preferences to Save
Once the desired preferences have been set, you must click the Apply button to save them. If
you simply close the Preferences window, either no preferences will be set or previously set
preferences will remain in effect.

Standard Purchase Orders - Terms and Conditions

Payment terms
Specify payment terms indicate when you are expected to make payment for the goods or
services received. The terms may include an amount due, as well as a discount amount.
Commonly used payment terms are Net 30 or 2/10, Net/30. You can create additional payment
terms as necessary.
Freight terms
Specify freight terms to indicate who is responsible for the direct charges related to
transporting shipped goods. Commonly used freight terms include Due (indicating you pay the
freight charges) or Prepaid (indicating that the supplier will pay for the freight charges).
Carrier
Specify the name of the freight carrier responsible for physical transportation of the goods.
FOB, or Free-On-Board
Specify FOB to indicate the point at which ownership of the goods (and therefore costs of loss
or damage) transfers from the supplier to you. Commonly used FOB terms include Origin
(indicating that ownership transfers at the point when the supplier delivers the goods to the
l

carrier) and Destination (indicating that ownership transfers at the point when the carrier
delivers the goods to you).
Pay On
Provides a default value of Receipt if the selected supplier site has been enabled for the Pay on
Receipt functionality. If Receipt is selected, an invoice will be automatically created for this
purchase order when receipt of the goods has been acknowledged and you run the Pay on
Receipt AutoInvoice process. If you do not want an invoice to be created, you can clear the
value that defaults into the field.
Special Conditions
Confirming Order - Indicates that youve already communicated the order to the supplier
and this purchase order is simply providing written confirmation. When you select the
Confirming Order option, the words This is a confirming order. Do not duplicate. will
be included on the printed purchase order.
Firm - This is a setting used with MRP to indicate to that module that it can neither
change the details nor suggest changes to the details of the purchase order based on
changed demands that have occurred since the order was originally created.
Acceptance Required - Indicates whether acknowledgement of receipt of the purchase
order is requested from the supplier. When the box is checked, the buyer can also
provide the date by which that acknowledgement is requested.
Notes:
Supplier Note - This field can be used to enter up to 240 characters which will print on
the purchase order sent to the supplier.
Receiver Note - This field also allows up to 240 characters to be entered, but will not be
printed on the purchase order. Notes to receiver are can be viewed by users entering
actual receipt transactions.

Type
The value that defaults to new lines is the value set as the default in the Purchasing Options
window. If you enter a system item, the type set on the items definition will override the
original defaulting value if necessary.
Item/Revision
Select from the list of values if ordering an item thats already been defined in the item master.
Once selected, the category, description, UOM and price will populate based on the item
definition. If the system item has been placed under revision control, you must also select the
appropriate revision number being ordered. If ordering items that have not been defined in the
item master, skip the Item/Revision fields and manually enter a category, description, UOM

cannot change the purchasing category if you choose a system item.
Description
For system items, you can update the description only if that functionality has been enabled for
item attribute controlling descriptions. The full item description for the current line is
displayed beneath the Lines tabbed region. You must provide a description for one-time items.
UOM (Unit of Measure)
The UOM qualifies the quantity that will next be entered. Suppliers need to know whether
youre ordering 3 each, 3 boxes or 3 pounds. The value initially populates with the default set
up for the line type selected, and is then overridden by the value set on the item definition.
Quantity
Enter the total quantity to be ordered.
Promise/Need-By Dates
Enter the date that you have requested delivery from the supplier in the Need-By date field. If
you have communicated with the supplier who has committed to a delivery date, enter it in the
Promise field instead. Its important that only supplier-provided dates be entered in the
Promise field, and non supplier-provided dates be entered only in the Need-By date field.
These dates will be used to measure supplier performance related to delivery issues.
Supplier Item
If available, you can enter the number or name that the item has been assigned on the

agreement. Purchasing lists only those contracts with the same supplier as the one on your
standard purchase order.

Need-By
Enter a Need-By date. This field is optional unless the item is a planned item. This field is
used in several reports that relate to analyzing supplier performance.
Promised Date/Original Promise
Enter the date that the supplier promised delivery of the items. If you are subsequently
contacted by the Supplier with a different date, you will simply overwrite the previous promise
date with the new promise date. When this is done, Purchasing shifts the original promised
date into the Original Promise field so that supplier performance can be measured against these
dates. If the supplier again extends the delivery date promised, you can again overwrite the
promise date with the new promise date. The system will continue to maintain the promise
date initially provided in the original promise date field. Supplier performance can then be
measured for the time between the original promise date and the current promise date.
Suppliers can themselves update their promised delivery date through the iSupplier Portal.
Charge Account
If a shipment is purchased from a single charge account, the account number is displayed for
viewing purposes only, it cannot be updated directly in this window. If an item is being
purchased from multiple charge accounts, the word Multiple will be displayed, requiring you

Integration with Workflow
In Purchasing, all approvals are handled by Workflow. The Procurement Workflows are
predefined workflows embedded in Purchasing. Workflow uses the approval controls and
hierarchies you define during setup as the default approval processes.
Status
Your purchase order document will have the status Incomplete until you submit the document
for approval. If you do not have sufficient approval authority, the status will be set to In
Process and Workflow will forward the document to an appropriate approver. Once approval
is obtained, the status is changed to Approved.
Communicating Approved Purchase Orders to Suppliers
Depending on how the suppliers record has been defined, purchase orders may be sent by
printed document, facsimile, email, XML or through electronic data interchange (EDI). The
Approve Document window defaults the transmission method defined on the supplier, but you
can update these defaults for a particular purchase order.

When to Use a Blanket Purchase Agreement

Blanket purchase agreements and releases allow you to negotiate stable, long-term contracts
while maintaining flexible delivery schedules and order quantity commitments. You create
blanket purchase agreements when you know the details of the goods or services you plan to
buy from a specific supplier, but you do not yet know delivery schedule details. You can use
blanket purchase agreements to specify negotiated prices for your items before actually
purchasing them.

A blanket purchase agreement is a type of purchase order you issue before you request actual
delivery of goods or services. You normally create a blanket purchase agreement to document
a long-term supplier agreement.
A blanket release is an actual order of goods or services you issue against a blanket purchase
agreement. The blanket purchase agreement determines the characteristics and the prices of
the items. The release can be created manually or automatically.

Blanket Releases
Once you have an approved blanket agreement you need only create a release to authorize
delivery of goods or services. You can create blanket purchase agreement releases using the
following methods:
The Releases window
PO Create Documents workflow
AutoCreate window
The Create Releases process
Manually Created Releases
You can manually enter releases against active blanket purchase agreements. You can set up
purchasing to warn you if a blanket purchase agreement exists for items that you try to
requisition. Because the blanket purchase agreement is in place, you can create a blanket
release instead of submitting a requisition. If you choose not to enable to warn if a blanket
purchase agreement exists, can submit requisitions and the buyer can create the blanket release.

Buyers can expedite creation of releases using the AutoCreate window or by submitting the
Create Releases program. In addition, the PO Create Documents workflow can be set up to
automatically create blanket purchase agreement releases for requisitions that are submitted,
regardless of whether their origin is the Requisitions window or iProcurement.

Amount Agreed
When creating a blanket purchase agreement, you can indicate the dollar amount of the
agreement.
Released
The dollar value displayed in this field is the total dollar value of all releases issued against the
blanket purchase agreement.
Terms and Conditions
You can access the Agreement Controls area of the Terms button. The effective start and stop
dates for the agreement can be entered. Releases can only be created during these dates when
the blanket is effective.
Amount Limit
You can optionally change the defaulted value for the Amount Limit. Initially this value is
equal to the Amount Agreed. You may provide a higher value in the Amount Limit field
which will allow the total released amount to exceed the Amount Agreed. If the total amount
released exceeds the Amount Limit, the release cannot be approved.

Minimum Release
You can also specify a Minimum Release dollar value which will require that the dollar
amount for individual releases exceeds the Minimum Release amount set. Often you establish
the Minimum Release amount based on your estimated costs of processing individual releases.
For example, if the estimated cost of processing releases is $25, then the user may set the
Minimum Release amount to $25.

Items Tabbed Region
Notice that the Quantity field has been grayed out. By definition of a blanket purchase
agreement, you are uncertain of the quantities that will be needed of each item listed. The
price that is entered for each item is for an implied quantity of one. Reduced pricing that may
be available when purchasing larger quantities will be entered through the Price Breaks button
that will be discussed shortly.
Price Reference Tabbed Region
The Allow Price Override check box is used for blanket purchase agreements and planned
purchase orders only. This check box indicates that the release price can be different from the
price on the purchase agreement or purchase order line. If you allow price override, enter the
dollar amount of the Price Limit. This is the maximum price per item you allow for the item
on this agreement line. If you do not allow a price override, Purchasing displays on the release
the shipment price from the purchase agreement and prevents you from updating it. Select
Negotiated to indicate that the purchase price is negotiated. If the actual price is greater than
or equal to the list price, then the field is unchecked by default. If the actual price is less than
l

the list price, then the field is checked as the default. You can accept the default value or
change it.
Reference Documents Tabbed Region
This tabbed region is generally not used on blanket purchase agreements unless the blanket
was created by copying a quotation. Copying purchasing documents will be discussed later in
this module.
Agreement Tabbed Region
You can establish controls at the line level if desired. Additional controls such as minimum
release amount, quantity agreed and amount agreed can be established for individual purchase
agreement lines. Whether or not you have agreed to minimum quantities or amounts, the
system will automatically keep track on this tabbed region of the quantities and amounts
actually released against the blanket. Internal quantity and amount targets not formally
negotiated as agreed to quantities or amounts with the supplier should not be entered in the
agreement. Entry of internal targets could be interpreted and enforced as legal binding to the
user.
The Cumulative Pricing check box will be enabled by default depending on a setup option in
the Purchasing Options of the default value hierarchy. The default may be changed depending
on the actual pricing negotiated with the supplier.

Blanket Purchase Agreements: Additional Information - Price Breaks

After entering the Purchase Orders window and choosing a Type of Blanket Purchase
Agreement, the button normally titled Shipments changes to Price Breaks. This form
adjustment is necessary to support reduced pricing agreements for volume purchases.
Quantity
This quantity is not an ordered quantity, but simply a quantity that if purchased would result in
reduced pricing. The quantity indicated may need to be reached on an individual release
(when the Cumulative Pricing check box on the Agreement tabbed region previously discussed
is unchecked) or may be able to be reached through an accumulation of releases issued against
the blanket purchase agreement line (Cumulative Pricing check box is checked).
Break Price
You will enter the reduced price that will be paid for each quantity listed.
Discount (%)
If a Break Price is entered, the Discount (%) field will display the percentage that this price is
off the price listed on the Items tabbed region for the purchase of an implied quantity of one.

Use the Notification Controls window to enter notification controls for planned purchase
orders, contract purchase agreements, and blanket purchase agreements. For these documents,
you can establish expiration and release control notification conditions and specify the number
of days before the condition is met that you want to be notified. When the notification
conditions are met, Purchasing sends you an alert, using Alert (or e-mail).
Amount Not Released
This control notifies you when the total planned amount released to date is less than a preset
amount or is less than the Amount Agreed on the blanket purchase agreement header
multiplied by a preset percentage. For example, a user can enter an Effective To date for the
Amount Not Released notification control of June 30. The user could further indicate a
percentage of 50% (which the system will further calculate the dollar amount of $2.5M for this
percentage and display it in the Amount field). The user would then be notified if on June 30,
the total amount of releases did not exceed $2.5M. Rather than indicating a percentage, the
user can provide a dollar amount and the system will calculate the percentage. Additionally,
specified percentages may be set based on prior spending trends rather than passage of time as
l

r
O
Purchase Orders
Chapter 7 - Page 72
appears to be the case in the example provided. You may also wish to establish multiple
Amount Not Released notification controls throughout the period of the agreement.
Amount Released
This control notifies you when the total planned amount released to date is more than a preset
amount or is less than the Amount Agreed on the blanket purchase agreement header
multiplied by a preset percentage. For example, a user can enter Effective From/To dates for
the Amount Released notification control of January 1 to March 31. Assume the user entered
$2M as the amount (which the system will further calculate the percentage of 40% by relating
the $2M to the $5M Amount Agreed). The user would then be notified if and when between
January 1 and March 31, the total amount of releases exceeds the $2M. Similar to the
discussion for the Amount Not Released, you may instead specify a percentage, set the amount
based on prior spending trends rather than the passage of time, and may also establish multiple
Amount Released notification controls throughout the period of the agreement.
Expiration
This control notifies you that the agreement is approaching expiration. The notification is sent
at specified dates prior to the effective end date of the agreement. For example, the Warning
Delay could be set at 90 for an agreement with a one year length. The system will then send a
notification to the Buyer 90 days prior to the expiration of the one year agreement that the
expiration is approaching. You often will set multiple Expiration notification controls to
ensure that sufficient progress is being made toward negotiation of a new agreement with this
supplier or a new supplier(s). This control is especially effective for items that should never be
purchased outside of agreements.

Blanket Purchase Agreement and Blanket Releases

Once a blanket purchase agreement has been approved, you can begin creating blanket releases
against the agreement. Suppliers will be provided the additional information, such as
quantities and shipping details, needed to make actual delivery of the items on the agreement.
Details regarding releases are covered in the next few pages. Once you have provided
complete shipment and distribution detail, the release needs to be approved before it is sent to
the supplier. The approval process for releases is the same as the approval process for the
blanket purchase agreement.

When to Use a Contract Purchase Agreement

Definition
You create contract purchase agreements with your suppliers to agree on specific terms and
conditions without indicating the goods and services that you will be purchasing. A contract
purchase agreement is an agreement between you and a supplier for unspecified goods or
services. This agreement may include terms and conditions, committed amount and an
effective and expiration date. Contract purchase agreements are referenced on standard
purchase order lines. Purchasing monitors the amount you have spent against contract
purchase agreements.

Focus of discussion
Rather than reiterate the many fields that have already been discussed during the creation of a
standard purchase order, this section will highlight the differences between the contract
purchase agreement and the standard purchase order. Your instructor will review the
previously discussed fields as needed during the demonstration of creating a contract purchase
agreement.

Contract Purchase Agreements: Additional Information Entered

Header
This agreement may include terms and conditions, committed amount, and effective and
expiration dates.
Amount Agreed
When creating a contract purchase agreement, you can indicate the dollar amount of the
agreement.
Released
The dollar value displayed in this field is the total dollar value of all standard purchase order
lines referencing the contract.
Terms and Conditions
You can access the Agreement Controls area of the Terms button. The effective start and stop
dates for the contract can be entered. Standard purchase orders can only reference the contract
during its effective dates. Part of the terms and conditions could include a percentage discount

off list prices for all products the supplier sells or different discounts for different groups of
products. For example, maybe theyll give you a 10% discount on equipment and a 20%
discount on office supplies. You can optionally change the defaulted value for the Amount
Limit. Initially this value is equal to the Amount Agreed. You may provide a higher value in
the Amount Limit field which will allow the released amount to total in excess of the Amount
Agreed, but not higher than the Amount Limit. Compliance with agreed upon terms and
conditions will be monitored after purchases are made to ensure things like item pricing or
delivery times are in agreement with any discounts stated in the contract.
Line, Shipment and Distribution Windows
Although these windows appear as part of the Purchase Order form, you cannot enter these
details on a contract purchase agreement. These details will be provided once the contract is
approved as standard purchase orders are issued with reference to the contract.

Contract
You cannot enter a contract number until you have entered a supplier in the header, and the
contract must be for this supplier. The contract you choose must be effective; that is, the
current date has to be within the effective date and the expiration date of the contract. If you
reference a contract purchase agreement on a standard purchase order line, Purchasing adds the
total amount of the purchase order line to the total amount of the contract purchase agreement
after the purchase order is approved. Purchasing lists only those contracts with the same
supplier as the one on your standard purchase order.

You will frequently need to find information from a purchase order. Several options are
available to assist you in this effort.
Use the Purchase Order Summary Windows

You can enter a variety of search criteria to locate records at the header, line, shipment or
distribution levels of the purchase order. Buttons located at the bottom of the form allow you
to view more or less detail than the level at which you initially searched. For example, assume
you initially searched for shipment lines. From there you can move higher on the purchase
order to view items or you can drill down to view distributions. Optionally, you can create a
custom user layout of this form using Oracles folder technology. Custom layouts can be
defined as the default folder and can be shared with others.

level of the purchase order. For example, you cannot view associated requisitions when

viewing purchase order query results at the header level. Additionally, you can view a history
of activities performed on each document. This functionality is available through the Tools
menu, View Action History option on many windows. Activities will be listed in
chronological order with the most recent activity appearing first.

Affect of Changes on Approval

Most changes cause the documents status to be updated to Requires Reapproval. Once the
document has been reviewed by someone with approval authority, they will either approve or
reject the document. Generally, all changes affecting the suppliers ability to accurately fill the
order will require reapproval. Controlled changes unapprove either the document header alone
or both the header and its shipments. However, you can continue to receive against approved
shipments even when the header is unapproved.
Revision Numbering of Purchase Orders
Depending on the type of modification made to a purchase order, Purchasing may increment
the revision number on the document.

Printing Purchase Orders
Only approved purchase orders can be printed

Purchase orders can be printed on demand or through a scheduled print process. Purchase
orders sent to suppliers need to be approved. Various criteria are available as parameters on
the Printed Purchase Order report to selectively print certain purchase orders. For example,
you could print only new purchase orders or only changed purchase orders or both. You could
print a single purchase order or a range of purchase orders and also have the option of printing
in test mode if needed. You will frequently reformat the output of the Printed Purchase Order
Report delivered with the system. Typical changes made include adding company logos,
background design or borders and outlines. You can make these report changes by taking a
copy of the current report and then adjusting the copy using Oracle Reports (included in the
Developer suite of applications).

Creating Purchase Order Revisions
Two Archiving Options

ly
n
O
e
s
U
I
A
O
&

Purchase order revisions are created through archiving which is the process of recording all
historical versions of approved purchase orders. Purchasing automatically archives a purchase
order when you approve it for the first time. Purchasing subsequently archives your purchase
orders either during the reapproval process or as a result of printing. You can create multiple
revisions of your purchasing documents (standard purchase orders, planned purchase orders,
blanket purchase agreements and contract purchase agreements). All revisions begin at 0, and
Purchasing increments this revision number by 1 when you make changes to controlled
information and the current revision number is equal to the archived number. Purchasing
prints the most current revision to send to the supplier. As a result, the first revision that you
print might not be 0 if you are archiving on approval. If youre sending purchase orders
through EDI, then archiving must be set to approval rather than printing. Use the Document
Types window to set whether each of these documents is archived upon approval or upon
printing. This window will be discussed in more detail in the Document Security, Routing and
Approval module.

Above is an example of a typical cycle for purchase order statuses. The initial status is
Incomplete until submitted for approval. The status is updated to In Process until it is either
Pre-Approved, Approved or Rejected. Once approved, many changes made to purchase
orders result in a status of Requires Reapproval. Once reapproved, the status is again
Approved.

Where to Update Statuses

Purchase order statuses can be updated either in the Purchase Order window or in the Purchase
Order Summary window. Actions available to effect statuses will be different dependent on
the current document status and where you are updating.
Review of Status Types
Incomplete - Initial status on all new purchase orders.
In Process - Status of the document when its sitting on the desk of the approver
identified in your security, routing and approval setups.
Purchase Orders
Approved - A user with sufficient authority has reviewed and approved the document.
Rejected - Status of the document when the approver has denied approval.
Requires Reapproval - Status of the document when controlled changes have been made
to the document.
Frozen - You can freeze only at the header and release level. You freeze a purchase
order when you want to prevent any future modifications to the purchase order. When
you freeze a purchase order, you can still receive and pay for goods you already ordered.
On Hold -You can place a purchase order on hold only at the header level. This
unapproves the purchase order while preventing printing, receiving, invoicing, and future
approval until you remove the hold.
Closed - Purchasing automatically closes shipments for receiving and invoicing based on
controls that you specify in the Purchasing Options window. Once all shipments for a
given line are closed, Purchasing automatically closes the line. When all lines for a given
header are closed, Purchasing automatically closes the document. Purchasing does not
include closed shipments in the Open Purchase Order reports.
- Closed for Receiving - You can close for receiving at the header, release, line, and
shipment levels. Note that if you close for receiving a purchase order header that is
currently open, Purchasing sets the status of all purchase order shipments to Closed
for Receiving, but the purchase order lines and header remain open.
- Closed for Invoicing - You can close for invoicing at the header, release, line, and
shipment levels. Note that if you close for invoicing a purchase order header that is
currently open, Purchasing sets the status of all purchase order distributions to
Closed for Invoicing, but the purchase order lines and header remain open. The
Close for Invoicing status does not prevent you from matching an invoice to a
purchase order or to a receipt. You can close and reopen documents and their
components for invoicing and receiving using the Control Document window.
Open - You can reopen documents (at the header, release, line and shipment levels) that
have been previously closed to allow additional actions to be performed.
Canceled - Purchasing lets you terminate an existing commitment to buy from a supplier
by canceling document headers, lines, shipments, or releases. When you cancel a
purchase order entity, you are unable to receive or pay for cancelled items and services,
however, you can pay for all previously received orders. Canceled actions are permanent
and can not be reversed. If you are using online requisitions, Purchasing returns unfilled
requisitions associated with cancelled purchase order entities to the requisition pool
based on the Cancel Requisitions control you specify in the Purchasing Options window.
Finally Closed - Prevent modifications to or actions against completed documents, lines,
and shipments by final closing them. Final-closed documents are not accessible in the
corresponding entry forms, and you cannot perform the following actions against finalclosed entities: receive, transfer, inspect, deliver, correct receipt quantities, invoice,
return to supplier, or return to receiving. You can approve documents that include finalclosed entities, but you cannot approve documents that are final closed at the header
level. Final closing documents is an internal control action that has no bearing on your
contractual relationship with the supplier. You cannot undo a final-close action.

Note: Only documents that have never been approved can be deleted. Optionally, you can
delete unapproved lines, unapproved shipments and unapproved distributions added to
previously approved documents. Deleted records cannot be viewed once the action is saved.
If you are using automatic numbering, you cannot reuse document numbers that you delete
with this option. If you use online requisitions, Purchasing returns all requisitions associated
with your delete action to the requisition pool. You can reassign these unfilled requisitions to
other purchase orders or releases.

The workflow PO Send Notifications for Purchasing Documents notifies you of various
situations that have occurred with your purchasing documents. Among the situations for
which youll be notified include documents with statuses of incomplete, rejected, or requires
reapproval. This workflow will also notify you when the date supplier acceptances were
requested has passed without acknowledgement of their acceptance. You can view and
respond to these notifications through the Notifications Summary window. This workflow
process is initiated by submitting the Send Notifications for Purchasing Documents process.
You will normally schedule that process to run on at least a daily basis.
Opening a Document
From a notification that you have opened, you can also drill down to the document. Depending
on the function security assigned to your responsibility, you have varying levels of access to
information. After you modify a document opened through the notification, you must return to
the notification and choose Approve there, not in the document itself, so that Purchasing can
record your approval action and continue with or complete the approval process. Depending
on the notification message, recipients will be able to take actions such as approve, reassign,
forward, reject, ignore, or close.

blanket purchase agreement that contains hundreds of lines. Rather than manually entering the
same lines again into a new document, you can copy the previous agreement to a new
agreement and change the effectivity dates.
How to copy documents:

Choose Copy Document from the Tools menu.
Select an eligible To Document Type.

Purchasing creates and displays the new document. The document is an exact copy of the
original except for the Promised and Need-By dates; if these dates are past dates, they change
to todays date on the new document. Effectivity dates, if any, do not change. Modify the
document if needed. Save and approve the document. If information in the document you
have just copied is invalid or outdate. For example, if a supplier or account is inactive or
invalid, a message window appears after you choose Approve. Use this window to help you
identify and correct invalid or outdated fields in the new document you are creating. You
cannot approve the document until you update these fields appropriately. You cannot use the
Copy Documents window to modify documents by copying from one document to another
with the same document number.

Creating Purchase Documents from Requisitions

AutoCreate
The AutoCreate window can be used to search for approved requisitions in the requisition line
pool. Those requisitions can be used as a basis for creating RFQs, standard purchase orders,
blanket purchase agreement releases and planned purchase orders. Buyer intervention is
required to search the requisition pool and create the purchase documents.
Use the Create Releases Program
The Create Releases program is a concurrent request that may be scheduled to run periodically.
The Create Releases program can be used to generate blanket purchase agreement releases.
Buyer intervention to be eliminated for certain types of purchases by using the Create Releases
program.
Workflow
The PO Requisition Approval workflow automatically runs the PO Create Documents
workflow. Depending upon your implementation decisions, the PO Create Documents
workflow will end with unapproved or approved standard purchase orders or blanket purchase
agreement releases. Using the PO Create Documents workflow can make it possible to
eliminate buyer intervention for certain types of purchases.

Requisition Line Pool
To create blanket purchase releases, standard purchase orders or planned purchase agreements,
the requisition line must have a status of Approved and not be associated with an existing
purchase document. For RFQs the requisition lines do not need to have a status of Approved.
Externally sourced requisition lines can be for system items (including outside processing
items) or one-time items (a description and a category). Internally sourced requisition lines are
supplied by internal sales orders and are not available for AutoCreation.

Requisition - the autocreated documents parallel the structure of the requisition from
which they were created. If you select multiple requisition lines from the same
requisition, they will not be grouped (even if the lines are exactly the same) and will
create multiple lines on the resulting purchase document. For example 5 requisition lines
will create 5 lines on the resulting purchase document. When using requisition grouping,
you can select lines from one requisition only and you cannot use manual creation mode.

Use the Modify feature when you want to split an existing requisition line into multiple
requisition lines that represent the same or different items. For example, if the requisition line
quantity is so large that a single supplier cannot fill the entire order by the need-by date, you
can split the requisition line and assign the split lines to different purchase documents written
to different suppliers. In an additional example, if you have a requisition line item that contains
parts that you want to order as unique items, you can split the requisition line into several lines.

new distributions based on the original requisition line distributions. When you return to the
AutoCreate Documents window, Purchasing displays the new requisition lines that are now
available for placement on a purchase order or RFQ if they meet your original search criteria.
The original requisition line is no longer available for purchase order or RFQ placement, but

Requisitions to display the Return Requisitions window. Enter a reason for the return and

Once a requisition submitted in Purchasing has been approved, the requisition must be returned
for the original submitter to make changes to it. If the requisition was submitted using
iProcurement, the requestor can use the Withdraw feature to make changes and re-submit the
requisition. The Withdraw feature is not available in Purchasing and can only be used in
iProcurement if no lines on the requisition are associated with purchase documents.
The Send Notifications for Purchasing Documents program will distribute notifications for
returned requisitions. This program should be scheduled to run periodically.

Receiving is a transaction that signals that the goods ordered on a purchase order have arrived.
Purchasing lets you control the items you order through receiving, inspections, transfer and
delivery. You can:
Define receiving tolerances and rules at the organization supplier, item and order level,
with the lowest level overriding previous levels.
Use Express Receipt to receive an entire purchase order with a few keystrokes.
Use the Cascade function to distribute a given quantity of an item from a single supplier
across multiple shipments and distributions.
Record receipt of unordered items, research receipt and match the delivery to an existing
purchase order.
Record delivery of items from receiving or inspection locations to their final destination
and also record transfers of items to different locations for inspection.
Define which of your items require inspection. You can accept or reject items and
provide detailed information about your inspection results.
Record returns to suppliers and customers.

You record inspections, deliveries and material movements within receiving and inspection by
entering receiving transactions. The transactions provide a history that allows you to track an
item from its source to its destination.
Receiving Transactions allow you to:
Transfer goods from one location to another
Document inspection results
Deliver goods to their required destination

Direct Receipt
One step. Goods are received and delivered in one step.
Standard Receipt
Two steps. Goods are received in one step and then delivered in a second. This allows for the
time it takes goods to move though your facility from the receiving dock. Quantity on hand in
subinventories is not updated until the delivery is completed. The quantity and cost is
maintained in the inventory organizations inventory receiving account until the delivery is
made.
Inspection Required
Three steps. Used for goods that require a more skilled person to do a careful review. Goods
are received in one step. Inspection either accepts or rejects the goods. A quality score can be
assigned at that time. Goods that are accepted are delivered in the third step, while goods that
are rejected are returned to the supplier.

Standard Receipt
Shipments are received into a receiving location and then delivered to an interim or final
destination. Goods are usually received and delivered in separate transactions. However, if the
RCV: Allow Routing Override profile option is set to Yes, users can override the default and
immediately deliver to the final destination. Setting the RCV: Allow Routing Override profile
to No forces a two step delivery process.

Inspection Required
Inspection is a procedure you perform to ensure that items received confirm to your quality
standards. Goods must be received and inspected before they can be delivered to their final
destination. The QA: PO Inspection Profile option can be set to either Purchasing or Quality.
If the profile option is set to Purchasing, a simple inspection window opens for recording
inspection results. If the profile option is set to Quality and a quality inspection plan exists, the
Quality form is opened and inspection results may be recorded based on a predefined
inspection plan.

Choose the organization (1)
When you first access the Receipts window, you will be forced to choose an inventory
organization from the list of values if you can process receipts for more than one. You can
change the organization manually if you have access to the Change Organization window.
Although it is not always the case, you can think of an inventory organization as a warehouse.
When you write purchase orders, for example, you specify goods to be shipped to specific
inventory organizations. You will only be able to view expected receipts (scheduled shipments
for a purchase order line item) for the inventory organization you choose. Use the
Organization Access form to limit access to the list of inventory organizations for a specific
responsibility.
Find expected receipts (2)
Expected Receipts can and do come from different sources because they are based on source
documents like purchase order scheduled shipments to suppliers, Internal Sales Orders
resulting from Internal requisitions and customer returns (processed in Order Management).

When no source document can be found, the order can be processed as an Unordered receipt
provided the Allow Unordered Receipts Receiving option is enabled on the scheduled
shipment.
Use the Find Expected Receipts window to find source documents. You can enter as many
criteria as desired to search for expected receipts. The more information you include, the more
restrictive the search is. The focus of this course is those receipts that are expected for a
supplier as a result of a purchase order or release that was issued. Other sources of goods to be
received are from either internal inventory organizations, or from customers.
Input receipt header (3)
Input receipt header details like freight carrier, comments and packing slip.
Choose processing mode (4)
Choose the most efficient method to process the invoice. Choose to process the receipt as a
standard, express or cascade receipt.
Input receipt details (5)
Input receipt details like quantity, unit of measure, location and subinventory (if necessary).
The method of receipt routing determines if the destination defaults to Receiving or a final
destination like Inventory, Expense or Shop Floor. You can override this option (for example,
when using Standard Delivery, the destination will default to Receiving but you override it to a
final destination) only if the RCV: Allow Routing Override profile option is set to Yes. Also
the Enforce Ship-To Receiving option determines whether the receiving location must be the
same as the Ship-To location. The Enforce Ship-To option can be set to allow the receipt,
allow the receipt but warn the receipt processor or not allow the receipt to be processed.
Save (6)
Save the receipt. Depending on the setting of the RCV: Processing Mode profile option, the
receipt will be processed immediately or submitted as a batch or deferred process.

Control the Receiving Transaction Processor

The setting of the RCV: Processing Mode profile determines the processing mode used after
you save your work for receiving transactions. The profile option can have one of three
possible settings:
Online
The Receiving Transaction Processor is called directly to process the receipt (no concurrent
request is submitted). The form is not immediately returned to user control, so the user will
not be able to perform any other application activities until the process completes. Form
response time is the slowest of the three options, but errors processing the receipt become
obvious immediately.
Immediate
The transaction goes to the interface table, and the Receiving Transaction Processor is called
for the group of transactions that you entered since you last saved your work. The form will
start running the Receiving Transaction Processor as a background process. Control is
returned to the user immediately so other application activities may be performed. Form
response time is fast, but a concurrent process is run each time you process a receipt. You
must occasionally check the concurrent manager to ensure the concurrent request completes

c

Receiving

without errors. If an error occurs, the problem must be fixed. You use the Transaction Status
Summary form to delete errored transactions and force them to reprocess. This is important
especially for transactions destined for Inventory or Shop Floor. Until the receipt processes
successfully, no receipt accruals are generated and sent to the general ledger. If the problem is
not reconciled by period end, accruals will be out of balance and understated in General
Ledger.
Batch
The transaction goes to the interface table, where it will be picked up the next time the
Receiving Transaction Processor runs. Control is returned to the user immediately so other
application activities may be performed. Form response time is fast. The transaction will be
processed by running the Receiving Transaction Processor process. This program must be
scheduled to run periodically. The longer the interval, the more data the program will process
each time it runs. Errors are handled the same way they are handled when the mode is set to
Immediate. Typically, customers will run this program periodically based on their processing
and system requirements. For example, you may elect to run the process at a time when there
is relatively low database activity to help balance the load on system resources. Using this
method, receipt accruals are not processed until the concurrent process completes
successfully. Also, inventory value and on-hand quantities are not updated until the concurrent
request completes.

You can define days early and late that you will accept a shipment. You can also define what,

You have three actions you can place to enforce those tolerances:
None - no action is taken
Reject - The receiver is unable to receive the shipment. The buyer will have to either
adjust the tolerances on the PO, or change either the quantity and need by date on the PO.
Warning - The receiver will see a pop up window if a tolerance is exceeded. The
receiver has the option of accepting the shipment or turning the shipment away.

numbers:
Lot Numbers
Serial Numbers
Stock Locators
ly

&
Control Numbers
Lot Numbers
A lot number is a unique number assigned to a certain batch or process run of a product. You
can assign expiration dates for each lot number. Lot number control is an item attribute that
can be found and set by choosing the Inventory tab in either the Master Items or Organization
Items windows.
Serial Numbers
A serial number is a unique number assigned to an individual item. When an item under serial
number control is received, the user performing the transaction will be forced to enter a unique
serial number for each item. Serial number control is an attribute on the inventory tab of the
item (either in Master Items or Organization Items).
Stock Locators
You use locators to identify physical areas where you store inventory items. Item quantities
can be tracked by locator. Items can also be restricted to specific locators. An example of a
stock locator might be Row, Rack, Bin number. You can require Stock Locator control at
the inventory organization level, the subinventory level, or the item level.

When you perform a Return to Supplier transaction, Purchasing reopens the associated
purchase order for the return quantity by reducing the original receipt quantity. You cannot
perform a Return to Supplier transaction against a Finally Closed or Cancelled purchase order.
When you perform a Return to Supplier transaction, Purchasing automatically creates both a
Return to Receiving and a Return to Supplier transaction.

Corrections are entered by using the adjustment quantity, either positive or negative. To

delivery to eleven, enter 1 in the Quantity field. You cannot create supply when none exists.
For example, if you receive and deliver 10 items before discovering that you actually delivered
11 items, you cannot simply increase the delivery quantity to 11. First you must increase your
receipt transaction from 10 to 11. Then you can increase your delivery transaction from 10 to

Purchasing works in conjunction with Payables to streamline the procurement process by
generating invoices to suppliers based on receipt transactions. Negotiate with key suppliers to
use Pay on Receipt. Every invoice created by the Pay on Receipt process is one less receipt
that needs to be manually keyed into Payables. Suppliers can still send the hard copy of the
invoice if a physical copy is necessary for archiving. Pay on Receipt enables you to
automatically create standard, unapproved invoices for payment of goods based on receipt
transactions. Invoices are created using a combination of receipt and purchase order
information, eliminating duplicate manual data entry and ensuring accurate and timely data
processing. Payment on Receipt is also known as Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS) and Self
Billing.

You can setup your suppliers so the invoice can be based on receipt of goods or delivery of
goods to their final destination. The Invoice Summary Level, set at the Supplier Site, controls
the number of invoices generated.
Packing Slip - One invoice will be generated per packing slip. (highest number of
invoices)
Receiving
Receipt - One invoice will be generated per receipt.

Site - One invoice will be generated per supplier site (fewest invoices)
After receipt or delivery transactions are created, you must run the Pay on Receipt Autoinvoice
process to create invoices and automatically match them to their corresponding purchase
orders. The Pay on Receipt Autoinvoice process can be set up to run automatically. Set the
PO: Invoice Number Prefix to add a prefix of your choice to the invoice that is created. The
number is created based on the Invoice Summary Level.
Packing Slip - The packing slip number is used as a basis to generate the invoice number.
Receipt - The receipt number is used as a basis to generate the invoice number.
Site - The date is used as a basis to generate the invoice number.
Set the PO: ERS Aging Period profile option to a number of days after the receipt to actually
create the invoice when the Pay on Receipt Autoinvoice process runs. A delay will give you
time to enter corrections, adjustments and returns (if any) and will result in more accurate
invoices being created.

Expected Receipts Report
The Expected Receipts Report can be used to review all or specific supplier sourced expected
receipts or expected customer returns that have not yet been received for a particular date or a
range of dates. The report excludes purchase orders that are cancelled, closed, or closed for
receiving at the header, release, line, or shipment level. You can specify the expected receipts
you want to review.
Unordered Receipts
The Unordered Receipts Report lists all or selected unordered receipts. Unordered receipts
refer to received items that receivers could not match to purchase orders or return material
authorizations (RMAs).
Substitute Receipts Report
Use this report to review all or specific substitute receipts.
Receiving Transaction Register
The Receiving Transactions Register lists detail information about your receiving transactions.
The register is sorted by item, category, receipt number, document number, and transaction

date. The three-part document number represents purchase order number, purchase order line
number, and purchase order shipment number.
Receiving Exceptions Report
Use the Receiving Exceptions Report to review receipts for which there is a receipt exception.
These receipts cannot be automatically closed for receiving or invoicing. You can enter a
receipt exception when you receive the item.
Receiving Value by Destination Account Report
The Receiving Value Report by Destination Account lists received items by purchase order
destination and distribution account. If you accrue both inventory and expense at the time of
receipt, you may have both inventory and expense as part of your receiving valuation account.
