PO suggestions Blank Title 59092

I found that purchase order suggestion use the following hierarchy to determine the suggested Unit Price.  What I don’t like about the default system is when it does not find a Vendor Price Break that is not expired it goes to the last purchase order to populate the suggested Unit Price.  This value was derived from a now expired Vendor Price Break in step 2.  I was thinking about using a BPM to zero out the PO suggestions Unit Price for those with expired price breaks.  Is any doing anything like this?

 

1.  If direct purchase to job use estimate unit cost from the job record.  If none then

2.  If no estimated unit cost get price from the Vendor Price breaks. (Only if not expired) if none

3.  If still no price, get a price from latest PO for the Part/Vendor/Supplier.  

 

Thanks

We are currently using Vantage 8.0 and would like to ask about PO
Suggestions. Is there anyone NOT running PO suggestions?

If not, why not?

What would those of you using PO Suggestions recommend for us to
implement this feature? What are the critical pieces of information
in the system that one has to have for it to work successfully?

Thanks,

PO suggestions are great once EVERYTHING is set up, like min/max levels,
safety levels, lead times, etc. Look at the plant tab screen in part
maintenance for all fields related to this.



We uncheck the Generate PO Suggestions box on non-stock parts, otherwise
the system wants to generate suggestions for everything, even
manufactured parts. I think the box is checked as the default.



Also make sure for lead times that the number you enter is either for
calendar days or business days, it is how you have your production
calendar set-up.



We didn't run it in the beginning because we didn't have this set up.
Now that our critical raw materials are set we use this feature,
ignoring everything else it generates.



HTH,
