PATI
The PATI (Purchase Order Analysis Transaction Items) REPORTS screen is used to track and report all transactions that have occurred to a PO or return PO. This includes item receipts (manual and via ASN) but also Vendor Order Adjustments and Vendor Changeovers. A vendor changeover is a type of vendor order adjustment where a part is being replaced by another part. The information reported includes the date the item was received, Purchase Order reference number and various quantities including the number received and cost.

Note: Since the PATI Report is a list of various types of transactions that happen to a purchase order (including vendor order adjustments and VCOs as well as receipt of purchase order items), a PO could have transactions across multiple dates. Therefore, to see all transactions that happened to a PO, it is recommended to either uncheck the 'START DATE' field and filter by ASN or PO number, or be sure the date range is early enough to include all transactions the user wants to see for the particular purchase order(s) being reported.
Specifies the end date/time to report data. Click the small down arrow to display a calendar. Click the desired date to select. Use the small left and right arrows to display previous/next months.

Undo PO Post Glossary

Re-Create Order
-
Typically, a "re-created order" is only created as a third step within the 'Undo Order' option.
-
However, it is possible to choose to create a "re-created order" by itself. A "re-created order" typically looks like the "original order" but both the 'REF #' and the 'PO #' will always be different.
-
In effect, it is possible to choose to manually perform the entire "undo"/"unpost" process yourself: first selecting the 'Reverse Order' option, then manually finalizing and posting/closing the "reverse order", then selecting the 'Re-Create Order' option, and finally manually finalizing the "re-created order".
-
The following field values are new for the "re-created order":
-
The 'Ref' and 'Number'
-
The 'Buyer'
-
The 'Status' is always 'New' for a "re-created order" whether you perform a 'Re-Create Order' option by itself, or whether the "re-created order" is created as a step within performing the 'Undo Order' option.
-
The option 'Create Order Below Min' is set to checked (TRUE) to ensure that the "re-created order" is created.
-
The 'Note' will use the same 'Note' as the "original order", but will add a reference to the "original order".

-
-
The following fields use the same values from the "original order":
-
'Source'
-
'Method'
-
'Profile ID'
-
Part and Core cost levels
-
'Exchange Rate'
-
'Supplier Minimum Thresholds'
-
The 'Use Buy Qty Rule'
-
List of stores for a multi-store distributed order.
-
-
When the 'Re-Create Order' option is selected by itself, or if a "re-created order" is created as a step within the 'Undo Order' option, after the process completes of creating the "re-created order", the Purchase Order screen is opened and the new "re-created order" is displayed.
-
If the row selected on the PATI Reports 'Display' screen had a 'Times Posted' value of one, and the "original order" was a Purchase Order, the new order will be similar to the "original order" when its status was 'Ord' before it was received into stock for the first time.
-
However, if the row selected on the PATI Reports 'Display' screen had a 'Times Posted' value greater than one, and the "original order" was a Purchase Order, the new order will be similar to the "original order" when its status was 'BKO' after the previous post occurrences.
-
Reverse Order
-
Typically, a "reverse order" is only created as a first step within the 'Undo Order' option.
-
However, it is possible to create a "reverse order" by itself.
-
In effect, you may choose to manually perform the entire "undo"/"unpost" process yourself: first selecting the 'Reverse Order' option, then manually finalizing and posting/closing the "reverse order", then selecting the 'Re-Create Order' option, and finally manually finalizing the "re-created order".
-
The following field values are new for the "reverse order":
-
The 'Ref' and 'Number'
-
The 'Buyer'
-
The 'Status' is always 'New' when only performing a 'Reverse Order' option. You must manually finalize and post/close the "reverse order". However, when performing an 'Undo Order', the system will finalize, post, and close the "reverse order".
-
The 'Source' is set to 'Ovrstk' if the "reverse order" is a Return Order and set to 'Shelf' if the "reverse order" is a Purchase Order.
-
The 'Method' is set to 'Write-In.'
-
The option 'Create Order Below Min' is set to checked (TRUE) to ensure that the "reverse order" is created.
-
The 'Note' will use the same 'Note' as the "original order", but will add a reference to the "original order".
-
-
The following fields use the same values from the "original order":
-
'Profile ID'
-
Part and Core cost levels
-
'Exchange Rate'
-
'Supplier Minimum Thresholds'
-
The 'Use Buy Qty Rule'
-
-
When you select the 'Reverse Order' option by itself (and a "reverse order" is not created as a step within the 'Undo Order' option), after the process completes of creating the "reverse order", the Purchase Order screen is opened and the new "reverse order" is displayed.
Undo Order
-
The purpose of the "undo" function is to reverse an order post occurrence. Note: The order may have been received multiple times but the specific post occurrence must be selected to be "undone". Typically, this is the last post occurrence.
-
When selecting the 'Undo Order' option, the other two options are performed: first a 'Reverse Order' and then a 'Re-Create Order'.
-
There are no system messages recorded for any of the "undo" steps performed.
-
The 'Undo Order' option will reverse each part's Receive Quantity on the specific order post occurrence that you selected.
-
If multiple parts were contained on the order, right-click on any of the part rows for the order post occurrence to be "undone".
-
Note that the data grid list in the 'Display' screen image above contains 10 parts that are contained within 3 different purchase orders (e.g. PO #s 'R0001-25480', 'R0001-25481', and 'R0001-25482').
-
Both PO # 'R0001-25481' or 'R0001-25482' contain two parts each, and these two orders were each posted only once.
-
Verify the posts by horizontally scrolling the grid to the right most column where the column 'Times Posted' is displayed. The value for this column would be one for both parts on both orders because one is the value for any first order post occurrence.
-
See the sample screen below where the value of the 'Times Posted' column is circled in red for both orders:

-
Note in the sample screen that the two parts in PO # 'R0001-25481' have order quantities ('On Order' column) of 2 and 5, and post quantities ('Posted Qty' column) of 2 and 5 because these two parts were both received "in full".
-
Note, however, that the two parts in PO # 'R0001-25482' have order quantities ('On Order') of 3 and 5 but post quantities ('Posted Qty') of 2 and 4, because this order's post occurrence was a partial fulfillment. Note: the quantities to be reversed are always the 'Posted Qty' and not the 'On Order' quantity.
-
Note, finally, that PO # 'R0001-25480' which also contains two parts, was posted three times. Therefore, depending upon which part row selected, determines which order post occurrence can be "undone": the first, second, or third. While you typically would want to "undo" the last order post, any order post can be "undone" in any sequence.
-
Below is described the three steps of the 'Undo Order' option using an example with PO # 'R0001-25482' that was received in error.
-
In this purchase order's only post occurrence, two parts were posted. After the posting, the 'WIX 42015' had its stock quantity incremented by 2 and the 'WIX 51515' had its stock quantity incremented by 4.
-
Since this order is a purchase order, the first of three steps is "Reversing the order", which will create a new return order. See the section for 'Reverse Orders'.
-
The second of three steps is "Posting this order", which will receive the newly created return order (the reverse order) in full, and close the return order. Note: After the posting and closure of the return order, view the return order on the PATI Reports screen. See sample below.

-
Note there is a new RO# 'R0001-25454' (the display text for return orders is red) and the same two parts that were posted in the purchase order (the "original order") were posted in the return order (the "reverse order").
-
Note the 'Posted Qty' values for the two parts; the 'WIX 42015' had its stock quantity decremented by 2 and the 'WIX 51515" had its stock quantity decremented by 4.
-
-
The third and final step is "Re-creating the order"; which will create a new purchase order using a new 'Ref #', and using the same parts as the first two steps. See the section for 'Re-Create Orders'. Regarding the recreated purchase order number used:
-
If the original purchase order is closed, and there is no other open purchase order using that same purchase order number, then the new purchase order will reuse the same purchase order number as the original purchase order.
-
If the original purchase order is still open (in 'BKO' or 'ASN' status), or if another open purchase order is using the same purchase order number as the original, a new purchase number will be used.
-
Note: When the 'Re-Create Order' option is selected, without being a part of an 'Undo Order' option, a new purchase order number will always be used.
-
-
After the third and final step is performed, the Purchase Order screen is opened, displaying the new re-created order.
-
In the example, after the creation of the new purchase order, view the new PO # 'R0001-25495' on the PURCHASE ORDER screen in the sample below:

-
Note that the 'Ord Qty' values for the two parts (on the "re-created order") matches the 'Posted Qty' values from the return order (the "reverse order"). The 'WIX 42015' order quantity is 2 and the 'WIX 51515' order quantity is 4.
-
Note that a new purchase order number was used ('Number' displayed is PO # 'R0001-25495') because the purchase order (the "original order") was in a closed status.
-
-
The new purchase order (the "re-created order") 'Status' is always set to 'New'.
-
Note: After the completion of the three "undo" steps, manually finalize the new purchase order (the "re-created order"). After this manual step is performed, the entire "undo" process is complete, and the original purchase order is "undone". (This step is MANDATORY).
-
If the original order to be "undone" had been a return order, then the three steps would have instead created a new purchase order (the "reverse order"), posted that purchase order, and then created a new return order (the "re-created order").
-
If there is an error during the processing of any of the three steps, the entire process is stopped and an error message prompt is displayed. Therefore, depending upon when the error occurs, some new orders may have been created.
