Re: Synchronize External Acc/Pay/Sys with Purch

[Peter_Vidal@xxxxxxxx]

Michael,


1) I do not have Procurement Management and we are not going to use AP.  We have
IFM instead.


2) Close and purge old orders is part of our implementation process before
running *LIVE.  The challenge is to determine which ones have open invoices (on
the external system) because we must keep them (the REAL open orders) in the
system.


Regards!


Peter Vidal

You might consider

Running standard report from purchasing for item and order status for those
order needing attention, perform maintenance through purchasing or using
PDM+ view/subset/sort functions to create the subset of items/orders you
wish to maintain, and then use the mass change function to maintain.  Then
close and purge orders and your are then left with open PO's and items.
