PO Generator

Our company has just started investigating the use of PO Generator. We have formed an alliance with our sub-contractors and are looking to provide them with the ability to manage the inventory levels at their locations.

During our testing we found that PO Generator does not create a record in the hold file (F4209). One of our programmers who looked into the PO Generator program found that PO Generator does not follow the purchase order approval process, but instead uses budget approvals.

Has anyone worked with PO Generator and/or budget approvals? We're looking for any option or work-around.

Mary,

The budget approval process holds PO's until there is
an adequate budget setup in the financial system for
the account being purchased against. You can obtain
further information by searching on 'encumbrance'
accounting or purchasing.
Are you purchasing aginst a GL account or against
inventory items??

Mike,
Thanks for the quick response. We are purchasing against
inventory items. Based on your knowledge of the budget approval process, it
doesn't sound like this would be an option for us?

This seems to be working for us.
In the processing options of the PO generator on the versions tab are you pointing to a version of P4310 that requires an approval route?
