Re: PMP09 - Purchase Transactions file questions

Dan,

As an alternative to using PMP09 you can use INP95 looking at transaction
type (TRAN95) of 'P' for receipts (also look for code 'R' if you are using
Direct Deliveries).  This file does not contain the Vendor number but it
does contain the GRN in field REFN95 so you can easily access the order line
details.  I like this file because it contains not only the receipt quantity
and cost but both the date entered on the system (REFD95) and the date keyed
as the "receipt date" by the user (DTMV95).

If you use INP95 then you don't have to worry about multiple records in
PMP09 for the same order line (partial receipts) and flags such as the
receipt required (RYRN09).  To know what has actually been recieved by
looking at PMP09 you need to look at the Transaction Quantity (TQTY09) being
greater then Zero.  The receipt date on the record will be the date the user
keyed in.  Those PMP09's you see with a future receipt date will be for
lines not yet received.

If the report is only for receipts that have been Invoice Matched for then
you must use PMP09 as the driver.

As I say, just my opinion, but I would drive off the INP95 file.

Let me know if you need any assitence.

Regards,

Mark.
