TABLE OF CONTENTS
Explanation
The customer can now place a purchase order (PO) splitting the quantity and assigning a specific quantity to each delivery date. This can be done using the Schedule button available in the last column of all the lines in the item table.
The suppliers can anyhow change the delivery date and quantity from their side as well. This ability to change is based on the purchase order type being hard or soft. If the PO type is hard the supplier is not allowed to modify the schedule and quantity. Soft allows the supplier to modify the delivery schedules.
If the supplier makes any changes, the customer will be able to view the same.
A red clock symbol will appear at the item level to denote the same.
To keep the customers in sync, we have included a schedule button as a new column at the end of each item in the item table. A click on the Schedule provides information about the delivery status as accepted by the supplier.
We have redesigned the Aerchain system's purchase order module on both the customer and the supplier portals to accommodate these changes.
NOTE: The suppliers can't accept the purchase order unless they meet the total quantity requested. But, the quantities can be split into different dates. This is an existing functionality.
The Updated UI with Screenshots
The user interface at the CAPP has been updated to accommodate the information corresponding to the delivery schedule accepted by the supplier.
The highlighted split button allows the customer to split the quantity between dates. This can happen during PO creation and PO amendment.
