PO Collaboration for Text Item POs

Posted in PO Collaboration, Text Item, Validation by

This is regarding Po with text item – having no material numbers. These type of POs are normally used for non-stock materials

POs having no material numbers fail in SNC since SNC validations find the material missing.

There are 2 ways to deal with this:

Make the following checks invalid for validation profile:

  1. PO_PRODUCT_ID INVALID
  2. PO PRODUCT_ID_MISSING

The issue with this solution is that you effectively increase the risk of POs for stock materials  successfully transferring to/processing in SNC even if those materials are not maintained in SNC for that vendor

Using a dummy product code in SNC

  1. Create a dummy material code in SNC
  2. Change mapping to PI to replace blank material field in the PO with this dummy material code while transferring the PO to SNC
