Can anyone tell me why a PO suggestion will populate if a PO is issued that fulfills the entire demand? It doesn’t happen all the time but it has happened more than I like.
Hi Robert,
Some examples of where seemingly extraneous PO suggestions can occur:
- when the PO will not make it in time for the demand (job or sales order required by dates)
- when the PO is being bought another way than the suggestion is being created for. For example I have a PO coming in to buy for inventory, but I had a job demand or sales order demand that is clicked to purchase direct to job or order.
- when I have gone below safety stock; in this case, Epicor doesn’t want us below SS it wants the part NOW and if I have PO date lock on release, then it’ll make a new suggestion to get it today
That’s the big ones I can think of at moment. I’m sure others can chime in too.

Thank you Nancy. It appears the PO lock date was the issue.
