The supplier didn't configure an email address in their Electronic Order Routing section but have set the Routing Method to Email. This caused the PO to be marked as Failed.

The supplier has 2 options to correct this.

• Enter a valid email address in their Settings > Electronic Order Routing
• Change the Routing Method in their Settings > Electronic Order Routing to a different method (such as Online)

Once corrective action has been taken, the supplier can resend the PO to themselves.

See Purchase orders are failing to reach the supplier email, but can be seen in the supplier's Inbox for a list of common errors and their resolution.

If the supplier receives their orders in an integrated system instead of email, refer to Error: "PO-11: Cannot deliver order. (...) Failed after unsuccessful attempts to resend it." when sending PO to integrated supplier.
