Receiving Attributes:
Receipt Routing set to Direct – this is not

Order Management Setups:
1.
Make sure the sales order line
Source Type is External. If the source type is not External, workflow will not
distinguish the line as being a drop shipment and will not insert any data into
the purchasing module’s requisitions interface.
2.
Make sure that either the
schedule ship date or request date is populated. If both of these are null, the
requisition will not be imported into the purchasing module’s requisitions
interface.
3.
Make sure there are no holds
against the line. If there is a hold, the hold must be removed and then the
order can be progressed or the line must be manually purchased release.
4. Verify in HR, that the employee has an
active status and has not been terminated.
PO Setups:
1. Make sure the Import Source parameter list of values contains
ORDER ENTRY. If ORDER ENTRY appears in the Import Source parameter list of
values, then it means that the Workflow Background Processor successfully
inserted a requisition into PO_REQUISITIONS_INTERFACE_ALL.
2. If ORDER ENTRY is not visible in the Import Source parameter list
of values, then no rows were inserted into the table. Review the setup under
Order Management.
3. Make sure the Group By parameter is actually set the user wants the
requisitions grouped.
