The expediting module allows users to review all un-received PO's that have been transmitted to vendors and to record critical expediting information against them.

ZPO.M002 “Expediting Maintenance” is the primary screen for the module.

To enable access of this module, ensure that the Expediting Module flag is set to Y in the RAPS SYSTEM CONTROL. The major function flags for this module are explained further in the RAPS SYSTEM CONTROL section.

A critical change in the process for PO's that needs to be considered is that the PROMISED DATE is required to be entered by the expeditors prior to the order being printed. When an order is status 30, the user can correct the following PROMISED DATE FIELD on the PO. Once the order progressed past status 30, it cannot be updated or edited. 

 

There is a major function flag called “Buyer can edit promised date?”. If this is set to Y, the buyer will be able to edit the promised date from the Requisition Review screen. 

 

This information flows through to the expediting maintenance screen.

The following fields are found on the expediting maintenance screen;
