How to reconcile a Purchase Order in FDM4

Reconciling the PO is resolving any quantity discrepancies for items that have been confirmed cancelled by the Vendor, preventing the PO from closing to allow the order to fully ship.


**We are no longer using the Reconciliation function to reconcile a PO.** 


Please follow the below steps to get a purchase order reconciled for the order to Fully Ship. 

  1. Confirm with the Vendor that the items are NEVER being shipped from them, and we can close this PO. 
  2. Run Purchase Order Entry
  3. Select Edit Existing PO.
  4. Enter the Purchase Order number. 
  5. Click Search
  6. Click Select on the line that shows the PO. If the PO doesn't appear, that means it is closed. If it needs to be re-opened to do any reconciliation, follow the process here.
  7. Select the line that shows an Open Qty
  8. Click on Edit in the upper right corner.
  9. Remove the Qty shown in the Open Qty and move it to Cancelled.. 
  10. Review and Complete. 
  11. If prompted with a resubmitting via EDI/Promo Standard pop-up, select No. This will prevent it from submitting via EDI. 
  12. Receipt Status and Invoice Status will close, allowing the order to move to fully shipped. 

    Have an EDI vendor and worried it will resubmit?

    1. Search the PO in Review Purchase Orders
    2. Look in the EASI Status column. Do you see SENT-XML-850?

      1. If yes, this means it was already submitted to the vendor via EDI and this will stop the system from submitting it again. 
      2. If no, this means it was not submitted via EDI and you may risk submitting a duplicate. Contact ERP support before you make the change, letting them know you have to edit an EDI PO and would like them to make sure it doesn't resubmit.
