Purchase Order 1.0.0

Purchase Order 1.0.0

General Discussion

It is recommended as a best practice for Distributors submitting purchase orders to:

  1. Submit the PO

    1. A transaction ID response indicates the request has been received 

  2. Check status of purchase order by querying the Order Status API using PO # (query type 1) - this will confirm successful receipt and processing of purchase order by the supplier

    1. “Order Received” indicates the order is in the system and requester gets a sales order number back 

  3. Monitor from that point forward via Order Status API

    1. Once order is marked as “Complete” in order status, trigger an OSN call for the shipping details

  4. Use the Order Shipment Notification API to confirm shipment and delivery information

Note that some suppliers may have a time gap between when the PO is received and when a Distributor can successfully query it via Order Status. Distributors might need to review with Suppliers if there is a time gap between the two due to asynchronous processing - Suppliers should detail out any processing delays in their integration guides.

This transaction identifier does not indicate that the PO was successfully entered and inventory was allocated. The use of the Order Status service can provide the status of the order going forward. If no transaction identifier is returned, a populated ErrorMessage object must be returned indicating the fault (Error severity is a failure). A populated ErrorMessage object returned with a transaction identifier indicates the PO was successfully transferred but initial validation detected problems preventing it from being processed without human intervention (Error severity is a warning). Based on the agreement with the supplier, either correct these issues and resubmit a revised PO or wait for contact from a supplier representative.

Include all shipping addresses for the Order.  If you do not have all of the addresses or know they will change, include this in the PO.LineItem.description field.

If you are not including the PartArray and the Order includes one Ship-To Address, it can be assumed all products ordered are shipped to the address.

It is not recommended to include multiple Ship-To Addresses if they are not linked using the ShipmentLinkArray. If you require this condition, include detailed notes in the PO. LineItemArray.LineItem.description field.

Line Items (PO.LineItemArray)

Include detailed instructions for the decoration, exceptions for shipping, and other notable comments in the PO.LineItemArray.LineItem.Description.  This is the field where all of the line item details should go.  This would include instructions for specific parts listed for the given line item.

The best practice is to include the PartArray as this makes it easier for the Supplier to process the order.

Configuration

If you know the list of charges applied to a line item, they can be included in the Configuration.ChargeArray.  Note that the total of the charges should be included in the line item total.  Not all Suppliers may not handle changes on simple purchase orders.

If no transaction identifier is returned, a populated ErrorMessage object must be returned indicating the fault (Error severity is a failure). A populated ErrorMessage object returned with a transaction identifier indicates the PO was successfully transferred but initial validation detected problems preventing it from being processed without human intervention (Error severity is a warning). Based on the agreement with the supplier, either correct these issues and resubmit a revised PO or wait for contact from a supplier representative.

Line Items (PO.LineItemArray)

Include detailed instructions for the decoration, exceptions for shipping, and other notable comments in the PO.LineItemArray.LineItem.Description.  This is the field where all of the line item details should go.  This would include instructions for specific parts listed for the given line item.

The best practice is to include the PartArray as this makes it easier for the Supplier to process the order.

Configuration

If you know the list of charges applied to a line item, they can be included in the Configuration.ChargeArray.  Note that the total of the charges should be included in the line item total.  Not all Suppliers may not handle changes on simple purchase orders.

This transaction identifier does not indicate that the PO was successfully entered and inventory was allocated. The use of the Order Status service can provide the status of the order going forward. If no transaction identifier is returned, a populated ErrorMessage object must be returned indicating the fault (Error severity is a failure). A populated ErrorMessage object returned with a transaction identifier indicates the PO was successfully transferred but initial validation detected problems preventing it from being processed without human intervention (Error severity is a warning). Based on the agreement with the supplier, either correct these issues and resubmit a revised PO or wait for contact from a supplier representative.
