Symptom
- System has not created Third Party Purchase Order after the Third Party Sales order has been released.
- All line items have the Ship-From Fulfillment as External but the Third Party Purchase Order is missing in the Document Flow.
Environment
Purchase Order
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to the Sales Orders Work Center
- Go to the Sales Orders View
- In the field Show, select All Sales Orders using drop down
- Enter the relevant Sales Order ID and edit it
- Go to View All and navigate to Items tab
- Here all line items have the Ship-From Fulfillment as External
- Now navigate to the Document Flow, here the Third Party Purchase Order is not found
Cause
- There is no purchasing contract or list price for one or more suppliers from which the product can be delivered.
- If there is no purchasing contract or list price the system will not be able to determine the availability of the product and hence initiate creation of third party purchase order.
Resolution
- Create Purchasing Contract or List Price from the Sourcing and Contracting work center.
- Once the supplier with purchasing contract or list price is selected as External Source of supply and the Sales order is released, the system will automatically initiate creation of third party purchase order.
