    For some strange reason, all of the sudden the PO100 auto job is now creating purchase orders intol 1 single PO# for different ship to locations/Pyxis locations. We need to have 1 purchase order created for Each Separate Location. So if we have orders from Location 1X & 2X for example - these must each get their own PO number.
    They can not be combined into 1 Purchase Order.
    Up to RQ500 the settings/parameters were fine and it created individual source documents..
    Once the PO100 ran - it took those individual source documents and combined them all into 1 Purchase Order.

    Any ideas why this might be happening or how to fix it?

      A couple of places you can check would be RQ01 - Requesting Location and PO10 - PO Vendor.

        RQ01 for location ANEST pyxis is set to N, should we change it to Y?

          What are your parameters in PO100. Specifically on the Main screen. This has been working in the past and is not working now all of a sudden? Any patches or updates recently installed?

            Mine shows 0 or blank for do not combine. 1 would be combine.

              Our reports are similar. I have a "N" in One ship to per PO and a "N" in Combine on PO Line. Those two fields stuck out to me so I wanted to confirm.

                  I'm assuming that you all run the jobs more frequently than once a month so the patch on 7/30 would have no affect correct? You have ran the 100 successful since the patch?

                  Parameters are how I have my jobs set.

                  In RQ01 for that location can you check to see the setting for "Single Document to a PO" field. I have a 1 in that blank.

                      Is it possible that the record coming over from Pyxis is populating the field with a value to combine the lines? Did something change on the Pyxis side?

                        Ok I asked Infor and the Vendor what field this is and what it does and found out that Single Document to a PO is set to 0 by the vendor. According to Infor, If the single document to a PO needs to be set to a 2 on RQ10 then have the vendor set the value to 1 in position 623 in our file. This will create the requisition in RQ10 with a 2 set that that field and resolve your issue going forward. This is not a Lawson issue and the system is working as it should.
                        The issue is that this field has always been set to a 0 and we didn't have this issue and it's not only happening to our pyxis location but all the locations.

                          How often do you run Lawson ERP PO100, multi-day, daily, weekly, or monthly?

                            We run PO100 via a scheduled job daily, and then the purchasers sometimes run it themselves.

                              Same as Greg. We have scheduled PO100 jobs that run every half hour for specific req locs, others that run a couple times a day, and then buyers will run it as needed.

                                We have several PO100s throughout the day based on PO Type:
                                8am - bill onlys
                                10am - special shipping (overnights)
                                11am - regular orders
                                12pm - special shipping (overnights)
                                2pm - late regular orders
                                We also have PO100s running triggered by an IPA for our eBuilder interface.
