Last updated on MARCH 06, 2023

Symptoms

For an item that is marked as stockless and a supplier that is marked as stockless (also priority 1 supplier) a PO is not getting created via PO Auto Source as stockless when the original Req has the priority 2 supplier (that is not stockless) assigned to it.

STEPS

Setup

A) Go to Items -> Define Items and Attributes -> Define Item -> Purchasing Item Attributes Link -> Purchasing Controls tab and click on Stockless.

B) In the same navigation click on Item Supplier tab and the set up Item Supplier for Supplier with Priority 1 as stockless

C) Verify that Supplier with priority 2 is NOT set as Stockless

Steps to replicate issue

A) Create a Requisition using the item changed above and changing the supplier to the priority 2 supplier (Purchasing -> Requisitions -> Add/Update Requisitions)

B) Run PO Auto Source (Purchasing -> Purchase Orders -> Stage/Source Requests -> PO Auto Sourcing

C) Review PO to see the below (Purchasing -> Purchase Orders -> Add/Update POs)

   1) The priority 1 supplier was added to the PO even though the priority 2 supplier was added to the req (this is correct)

   2) See that stockless is NOT checked on even though the supplier chosen is set to stockless.
