Problem statement:

The ship date fields are not visible in the vendor collaboration Vendor collaboration > Purchase orders > Purchase orders for review. We cannot personalize to bring these fields into the form as well. Only the receipt dates are visible for the vendor in vendor collaboration.

Background of the issue:

When we enabled the Procurement and sourcing> Setup> Procurement and sourcing parameters > Delivery > Supplier requested and confirmed shipment,

When the parameter is enabled, we can find new fields in purchase order as Requested/confirmed ship dates.

The dates are calculated based on the setup done in

Procurement and sourcing > Setup > Distribution > Purchase transport days. E.g. when we enter Requested receipt date in the PO the requested ship date updates and vice versa.

The calculation is based on the transport days defined in Purchase transport days and the shipping country (vendor address) and receiving country (warehouse address)

These fields are visible and calculated correctly in the purchase order.

The ship date fields are not visible in the vendor collaboration Vendor collaboration > Purchase orders > Purchase orders for review. We cannot personalize to bring these fields into the form as well. Only the receipt dates are visible for the vendor in vendor collaboration.

Ideally vendor should be able to provide a confirmed shipped date through vendor collaboration.

Expectation is vendor sees the confirmed dates – both receipt and ship. Vendor would enter the confirmed ship date and based on the above setup on transport days the confirmed receipt date also updates. Right now, vendor only has the option to update confirmed receipt date

Vendor will normally update the confirm the date they will ship instead of the date customer will receive the PO.

Process recreation steps:

1.     

Enable the parameter: Procurement and sourcing> Setup> Procurement and sourcing parameters > Delivery > Supplier requested and confirmed shipment,

2.     Setup Procurement and sourcing > Setup > Distribution > Purchase transport days. Shipping country/region = Receiving country/region = delivery address of the PO.

3.     Create a PO update the requested receipt date. Based on setup 2 system will calculate Requested ship date.

4.     Send the PO to vendor for review and confirmation

5.     Navigate to vendor collaboration > purchase orders for review > Select the PO.  Vendor only sees Request and confirmed receipt date. Ship dates are missing. This cannot be personalized and added as well.

6.     Click on suggest change and same issue there. Vendor only sees Request and confirmed receipt date and has ability to update Confirmed receipt date. Ship dates are missing. This cannot be personalized and added as well.
