Vendor scheduling at V3.5.1 has a lot of issues. I would recommend that you
update to at least V3.5.2 SP2 if possible.

Jeff is correct in that you don't want to update PO's in Purchase
management. It will cause future problems with Vendor Scheduling creating or
ammending lines.

One thing we did to our system was to make the PO number match the contract
number, so, you don't have to know the contract number to get to the PO
number or vice-versa. The program to modify is VS203 in the routine where it
retrieves the next PO number.

Other problems encounterred are proper setup of the stockroom details record
to make sure it is a vendor scheduling item. Also, make sure your MPS/MRP
library lists have OSLVSD3 and OSLVSP3 in the library list. If you don't
MPS/MRP won't know about vendor schedules and they must.

Enjoy.

Subject: [SYS21] Vendor Scheduling Question...


We're at V3.5.1...
I seem to recall there are some pitfalls to using Vendor Scheduling...
One of which is that you should not amend any PO's created with VS because
it
does not update the contract...
Is this the only reason and are there any other pitfalls on which anyone
would
like to elaborate...?

Thanks.
