EXPECTED BEHAVIOR Expect PO Req to be created once application notes there is insufficient quantity to ship order in its entirety

STEPS The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps: 1. Order Management responsibility 2. Navigation: Orders,Returns>Sales Order 3. Create backtoback order 4. Per customer: Item-A has on_hand_qty = 5 and order placed for qty=7. Because partial reservations is ON, a qty of 5 gets reserved against this order. So when the SO is Booked, the status changes from 'Booked' to 'Supply Partial'. At this point even if i run the program 'Autocreate Purchase Release' from BOM responsibility nothing really happens. The status of the order line remains 'Supply Partial'. This program created requisition of the remainder unsatisfied qty only when pick-release and ship-confirm is done on SO. On ship-confirmation the SO line is split into two, Line1 that is satisfied by the qty in inventory and Line2 for which the program 'Autocreate Purchase Release' creates a requisition. This is logically incorrect BUSINESS IMPACT The issue has the following business impact: Due to this issue, users cannot create PO req for remaining quantity until ship confirming available quantity.

Cause
Incorrect processing of order Per development, after reviewing OWC: Say you have got an available qty of 24 and you create a SO for qty 30. There will be partial reservation for qty 24 and the line will show Supply Partial. At this stage, please run AutoCreate Purchase Requisitions. This will create a record in the po requisition interface for qty 6. The line status will not change. The next run of import Requisitions should create a requisition for qty 6. Therafter you need to create a PO out of this requisition. From the log file Autocreate_Purchase_Requisition.txt you have uploaded, I see that the program is creating the record in Po Requisition interface for the partial quantity. Please ensure to run the Import Requisition program after this so that the PO is created.

Solution

-- To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:: 1. Go into the responsibility: Order Management 2. Navigate to Orders,Returns>Sales Orders 3. Create a order with BacktoBack item. 4. Book the order 5. Progress the order to create a Supply Eligible line (Status Booked --> Supply Partial) 6. Run the Autocreate Purchase Requisitions program from BOM (Status Supply Partial, inserts a line in Req.Interface) 7. Run the Req. Import program (Status Supply Partial --> PO Partial), created a requisition, Example: 43006401. 8. Autocreate a PO from Req 43006401. 9. Process created a PO; Example: 45027258 for qty = 5, Approve it. Note that the order line status remains PO Partial. 10. Receive the material for PO 45027258. 11. After receipt the status changed from PO Partial-->Awaiting Shipping). 12. Did a pick-release. (Status PO Partial --> Picked) 13.Did a Ship-confirm. (Status Picked --> Shipped -->Closed). 14. Retest the issue. 15. Migrate the solution as appropriate to other environments.
