You can create new purchase orders as well as append to existing purchase orders using an Excel, CSV, tab (.txt), or fixed-length file. The import file can contain multiple items for multiple PO Numbers. If the PO exists and has been sent to the Vendor, the Purchase Order Import Designer creates a new PO using the next available PO Number from MPC.
The application allows you to create and append to Normal, Credit, and Defective PO types as well as provide support for users with Central Distribution/Buyer’s Purchasing enabled. This allows you to designate the DC store and the Item detail store as well as the Central Distribution type. Once the PO is created, the import tool can only append line-item details to an existing PO. The PO Header cannot be changed nor can the PO be cancelled or suspended through the import tool.
