Dealing with Superceeded Codes on EDI Confirmations
Previous Top Next

Having sent an electronic purchase order to your supplier, you will receive an order acknowledgment from them, which is displayed on Power-Gx as the Shopping Results screen.  This topic outlines what to do if the supplier order confirmation warns you that you have ordered a product that has been superceeded by another code. 

1.   The supplier will confirm the new code that superceeds the one you have ordered.  This new code will be the one booked in.  In order to do that, the new code must be a valid stock code on your system.
2.   If the superceeded code does not exist on your product file. you will need to create a stock file for it using Product Details.  You can merge from the existing product code and change any details if required.  Save the new stock code.  You can now book in the purchase order from the EDI order confirmation screen. 
3.   You should use Product Details to make the original code discontinued and set the new code in the Alternate/Superceeded field. 
4.   If the product is for a sales order, you need to amend the sales order to replace the old code with the new code.  You should choose "from our stock" as the supplier since it has already been ordered and booked in.
