Why hasn’t a PO been issued for an approved case?

Why a PO hasn’t been issued after a case was approved, and how to resolve it.

Here’s how to diagnose a missing PO:

If your facility is integrated (automated PO)

  • Check whether the case was approved before or after your ERP’s daily polling window. Orders approved late in the day may not generate a PO until the next business day.

  • If no PO has appeared after 24 business hours, there may be an integration error. Click the chat icon in the bottom right corner to submit a ticket, include the DO# and the approval date.

If your facility enters POs manually

  • Check whether someone in your organization has assigned themselves to the ‘Enter Purchase Order Number’ step. If nobody has picked it up, it will sit there until they do.

    Tip: Tag a specific person by typing ‘@’ followed by their name. They’ll receive an email notification that they’ve been mentioned, with a direct link to the order.

If exception items are pending

  • If any items on the order are flagged as not-on-contract or the order has any discrepancies, the PO may be held until those are resolved. Check the order for unresolved exceptions.
