Overview

There will be some cases in which the vendor, depending on the availability of the product, will only confirm a part of the order. In this case, the system allows you to postpone the shipment. This option can be activated by going to the vendor setup. All the unconfirmed boxes can be assigned to another PO with a new date and even a different vendor. Once the vendor and date have been selected, the system will look for a PO with a "pending" status that coincides with the date and vendor chosen and will add these boxes to the pending order. If there is no "pending" order that coincides, the system will create a new order.

Only the orders with a Pending, Partially Confirmed or Canceled status can be postponed.

• If there isn't a PO for the selected vendor and date, the system creates a new one with an Approved status.
• The PO to postpone is Pending (P) OR Approved (A): the system won't create a PO. The product will be added to the existing PO keeping its status.
