Changing Procurement Vendors

Use the Procurement Confirmation Queue to verify the sales order, quantity, items, and the vendor from which you are procuring your items. If the vendor is incorrect, you can update it on the Procurement Confirmation window.

The sales order must be available for you to be able to make the changes. If another user is viewing or making changes to the order, you receive error messages. If the order is open by another user, you receive the following message: Order <number> is being editing by <User ID>. This change will not take effect until the order is unlocked. Press Enter to Continue.

In addition, if the sales order is still open when you use Create PO function, you receive the following message: Procurement ID for <sales order> has been changed. Cannot update. Press Enter to Continue.

To change a procurement vendor:

  1. Display the Procurement Confirmation Queue.

  2. Select the order for which you want to change the vendor and place the cursor in the Procure From field.

  3. Delete the current vendor's name and enter the new vendor name.

  4. Exit the window to commit the change.
