Question related to Purchase order

[Former Member]

Hi,

If PO is created for 100 qty and vendor confirms for only 80 quantity. But plant needs full 100 quantity and they cannot wait for 2nd delivery for remaining 20 quantity. How to handle this situation, meaning what is the best alternative solution?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Regards,

Nani

Nani,

????  This is not an SAP question, this is a business question.  SAP software does not have any magical way to force this vendor to confirm and deliver the additional 20pc at a time when you actually need it.

One possible business process to address this business problem would be to get on the telephone and call the vendor and plead your case.  Another possible business process would be to cancel the outstanding 20 pcs in the original PO, and then purchase the 20 pcs from another vendor.
