Looking for aĀ best practice/workflowĀ for tracking confirmed vs. unconfirmed Purchased OrdersĀ that have already been issued to an outside Ingredient and/or PackagingĀ Vendor.Ā Any insights/suggestions/best practicesĀ on how to leverage existing capabilities withinĀ NAV 2018? — TodayĀ I “create new”,Ā populating POĀ lines, vendor, etc., etc.Ā as well as the “Requested Receipt Date” (leaving “ExpectedĀ Receipt Date” blank). Once completed,Ā I then “send” PO to Vendor (via aĀ pdf and email)Ā leavingĀ the POĀ in “Open Status”. Once Vendor confirms receipt of PO and delivery date to my facility I will then go back into the POĀ andĀ populate the “Expected Receipt Date” andĀ “Send Approval Request”, releasing the PO to “Released” status. If Vendor does not email back a confirmation myĀ PO stays in “Open Status”.Ā There are several potential issues with this process. Is the “Purchase Inquiry Action” and leaving the POĀ “In External Review”Ā the best solution (link below)? Other thoughts/processes? Thank you.
Note This topic applies to both Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations and to Dynamics 365 for Retail. This topic describes the statuses that a purchase order (PO) goes through after it has been created, and the effect of enabling change management on POs.
you could add new status values e.g. “Processed” (PO sent to packager, waiting for conf. by vendor; status is set, when po is sent to vendor via mail) and “Confirmed” (vendor has sent conf.). some code adjustments would be needed.
