I need to remove orphan POs....I used to do this using sql in Vantage 6 but i don't recall doing this in E9.  Does anyone do this in Epicor 9?

thanks Kim

No.... deleting ANYTHING in Epicor using SQL is an extremely bad idea. What do you mean by Orphan PO's? What makes them Orphan?

It shows orphan PO on the MRP run.  I used to have people start POs and never finish them and an error would pop up and I would clear them out.  But that was Vantage 6.  What should I do about the Orphan POs that pop up from MRP run.

Can you bring these po's up in PO Entry and delete them? Is that an option?

Sounds like the buyers need to get on their workbench and clean there stuff up.

thanks

Ophans POs are listed in the MRP log...I think last entry.  I just send those to the buyers and they delete them through PO Entry.
