  • This is Portal-specific data
  • 1 "Inventory Record" = unique PO / SKU combination
  • Inventory can be "replenished". This means the supplier can add more quantities at any point in time.
  • Call Off - Action of a Planner with "Call Off" rights to request/reserve some quantity of the PO from Inventory.
  • Per Marc, Planner users can select a quantity from "Inventory" and ask the supplier to create an ASN for that "Quantity".

SOW 10 Supplier Event Validation

mantis: 4586

  • Object of handling: Purchase Order (PO) on ASN Inventory tab
  • Object of validation: Current Date vs Supplier Due Date of validated PO
  • Provide configurable Time Frames of Validation (days before Supplier Due Date):
  • XX days - start of "Impending" PO Status
  • ZZ days - start of "At Risk" PO Status
  • ZZ shouldn't be more than XX
  • PO Statuses:
  • PENDING - more than XX days before Supplier Due Date
  • IMPENDING - equal or less than XX days and more than ZZ days before Supplier Due Date
  • AT RISK - equal or less than ZZ days before Supplier Due Date
  • PAST DUE - Supplier Due Date is today or in the past
  • Validation logic
  • System should validate Current Date vs PO Supplier Due Date daily (or every N days) starting from the day when PO has been uploaded to Inventory
  • As soon as Current Date comply with condition of some PO Status, assign(?) the Status to validated PO and send notification e-mail to the supplier
  • NOTE: we need Suppliers' e-mails data/mapping
  • E-mail notifications
  • Text of message: “is PO # etc etc (contents details) still going to be available on “Supplier Due Date”
  • OR PO ### has a Supplier Due Date of XX/XX/XX. Will this order be ready on time?
  • if Supplier replies Yes = no further action (log the yes, display in comments)
  • if Supplier replies No = supplier can revise date + Cyberchain sends e-mail notification to planner group
  • NOTE: we need Planners' e-mails data/mapping (linked to the POIB)
  • Tweak (per Marc on Mon, Jul 14, 2014): When the user selects NO, which then opens up the calendar, they should also have the opportunity of entering a comment. This would be recorded in the record and become a permanent part of the record, and could possibly, but not necessarily, be e-mailed back to the client. (I think for now we should include the comment to the “dashboards” associated with “event management”).
  • Watchlist notifications
  • Changes or updates to the Supplier Due Date
  • Inventory created
  • Call Off created
  • ASN created
  • Log / display the validation info
  • Log
  • Filters in ASN Portal tabs:
  • “Showing Impending only” - yellow square with label
  • “Showing At Risk only” - orange square with label
  • “Showing Past Due only” - red square with label


SOW 11 Dashboards for PO Statuses

mantis: 4587

  • Impending Supplier Due Date. PO’s with a supplier due date in “xx” days.
  • At Risk Supplier Due Dates. Impending PO’s with a due date in “xx days” for which NO ASN was created.
  • Past Due Supplier Due Dates.
  • Unanswered validation requests. PO’s for which the supplier did not reply to the “Supplier Due Date validation e-mail” (after 2 week days from when the e-mail was sent).
  • For example: E-mail sent on Monday … put on Dashboard by Wednesday, e-mail sent on Thursday, put on Dashboard on Monday etc.
