Adding Demand to an Existing Purchase Order

You can add lines to an existing purchase order to fulfill purchase demands. If you changed the original demand request information, your override information will be used on the purchase order line. APM uses several criteria to determine whether or not an appropriate purchase order exists, including business rules, the purchase order status, and purchase order properties.

You can also fulfill purchase demands by searching for candidate purchase orders, creating new purchase orders, or by linking demands to existing purchase order lines. Please see Creating Purchase Order Lines to Satisfy Demand.

Note: The My Desk view only displays the tabs described below if you are set up as a buyer on your employee record and the Purchasing Desk option is selected on the My Desk Settings tab.

To Add Demand to an Existing PO

1.	Select the site’s My Desk view, then select the Work With Purchase Demands tab.

2.

From the configuration list, select Open demand. The top table shows purchase demands for which you are the assigned buyer, and that reference suppliers with open purchase orders. When you highlight a demand in the top list, the bottom table shows the open purchase orders to which the demand could be added.

3.	Highlight a purchase demand in the top table, then highlight a purchase order in the bottom table. Use your mouse to drag the demand onto the Lines on the selected order table at the bottom of the tab.

The system adds a new line to the purchase order based on the demand.
