The Details page is displayed when you select the link of a purchase order exception.

A purchase order exception refers to any discrepancy or problem that arises during the purchase order execution process such as:

  • Price changes or surcharges: Supplier requests higher unit prices, unexpected freight duty, or handling fees.
  • Goods receipt exceptions: Wrong material or lot received, or quality issues.
  • Delivery plan exceptions: The supplier can’t deliver the full quantity or on time, or can’t deliver at all.

On the Purchase Order Management, navigate to Lists > My work > Open purchase order exceptions. Select a purchase order exception number link from the Number column to open the purchase order exception Details page. For a description of the field values, see Purchase order exception form.
