I have work order data configured for my purchase orders in my procurement system, and I'd like my suppliers to be able to visualize this in SAP Business Network.
How do I allow my suppliers to view work order information in the POs I send them?
You can allow your suppliers to view the work order information in the purchase orders you send to them by enabling the transaction rule Allow suppliers to view work order information.
Follow the steps below to do that:
- Sign in to your SAP Business Network buyer account as the administrator
- Click Administration > Configuration
- Click Default Transaction Rules.
- Scroll down to the section Work Order Information
- Check the box Allow suppliers to view work order information
- Click Save
Note that this transaction rule will only show this information to your suppliers in the purchase order and subsequent documents if the work order information is being sent from your procurement system to SAP Business Network. SAP Business Network won't add this information to your orders.
This information is sent and shown in SAP Business Network differently depending on your procurement application. The Work Order ID can be shown either in header or line level, for instance. Additionally, different procurement applications also send this information to SAP Business Network using different cXML elements.
