    I've gone over this and over this and I think I'm missing something simple.

     

    We have a group of items that appear on three agreements (one for each Purchase From location for vendor 123), for example: 

    Agreement_123_10A

    Agreement_123_15A

    Agreement_123_20A

     

    When users at company 15 pull up their req template to order one of these items, the template maps the item to the 10A agreement for some reason.  It should be mapping to the 15A agreement.

    • These are non-stock items, so they don't exist in IC12. 
    • They appear on all three of those agreements and they are not expired and not on hold.  The are on the agreements as BX.
    • All three agreements are released. 
    • All 3 agreements have the Purchase From listed correctly on the PO25.1. 
    • On PO15, the template header references Company 15
    • On PO15, the line shows company 15
    • On PO15 there is no reference at all to an agreement on the line item
    • IC11 shows BX as the purchase UOM
    • PO13 and PO13.3 don't seem to have anything to do with Purchase From locations, so nothing to do there

    When I go to Req Center, Shopping, and use Location Templates for company 15, I select the template, find the item, and click the item # so I can see the details...I see the agreement for company 10 listed in the req template. 

    • Some other items on the template are behaving the same way.  there is a group of them.
    • This group of items are consistently wrong on all templates. 
    • There are other items on this template that are NOT wrong
     ...what am I missing? why does it keep pulling the agreement for Company 10?

      In the setup on PO25, there is a box you can click to add participants. Since your agreements are specific to an internal company, I think you should be able to add that company to the participants and it would exclude the others.

      If you don't do this, Lawson will find the first alphabetical agreement that is available for the item. We have the same issue so try not to have more than one agreement that is active at a time.

      Try the participants - see if it helps.

        Donna,
        One thing I did not see in your description was the participants (PO25.3). If those are blank, then ALL companies would have access to the agreement(s). Now, assuming all other factors are equal, Lawson/Infor will select the agreement that comes first via text sort on the Agreement Reference. In this case, I would guess that all errant lines are referencing "Agreement_123_10A". There are other factors that come before this, but it sounds to me like this is the culprit.

        Good Luck,
        Red

          Argh, Participants! I knew it was something I was overlooking. Thank you, both of you.
