Buyers workbench and PO suggestions

We found that by locking the schedules and qtys on jobs, the 'bogus' suggestions went away. For what ever reason the Purchasing side does not seem to have the same functionality.

Subject: [Vantage] Re: Buyers workbench and PO suggestions



Just wondering what version are you on?
8.03.409 here and we have a lot suggestions that seem "bogus".
Manual locking on PO's has provide limited improvements.
Job suggestions in the planning workbench are worse.
Locking on jobs seems to have no effect on the suggestions that we consider "bogus".

I am a little reluctant to lock all PO releases and/or Jobs with a BPM.

So, what we've ended up doing in the short term is making custom reports that only display certain types of suggestions.

I'd sure like to hear more.
Suggestion issues & what you've done.

On our buyers workbench about 4 out of 5 buy suggestions are bogus. They are generated by move or qty suggestions that within our business are not pratical to follow. There is a Lock check box on PO/LN/Release that according to the help screen would prevent these move or qty adjustment suggestions from being created, and thus should reduce the number of false Buy suggestions.

The problem is when I re-approve the PO, the box unchecks itself.

Has anyone else seen this?
