Can I create PO from the RFx response item?

[Former Member]

Dear all,

If we have two items in one RFx, after awarding to one vendor, Can I create PO from the RFx response item?

Thanks

Hi Hashi Take,

While editing the RFx Response (as a buyer) by default, the Accept check box at item level is checked. You uncheck this for the items which you do not want to convert to PO and then accept the Response (at header level).

Hope this meets your requirement.

Hi Hayashi,

In standard, when you create the RFx by selecting "Purchase Order" or "Purchase Order or Contract" for the field "Follow-on Document", you should be able to create PO from the accepted RFx Response.

Let me know if I have any misunderstanding with your question.

Thank you very much for your response.

My question is, in RFx, we have two items,in standard, if we create the PO from the RFx response, in the PO there would be two items.

While my requirement is to create two PO , one PO has the first item in the RFx response, another has the second item in the RFx response.

Hi Hayashi,

As far as I know, if both items from the same vendor are accepted, in standard system will always create PO with these 2 items. There is no standard functionality to let purchase to choose which item he would like to create follow-on document within the same RFx response.

To achive this, you might need to add a customer field as a flag at item level of RFx Response, so that buyer could indicate which items he would like to create follow-on document. However, this would require also some customer coding to handle with it when you start to create follow-on PO.  This is only my though of the possible option.
