  4. From Action menu Reorder Items
  5. Make sure Run in Background Mode? field is not checked
  6. Click on Preview just to verify that it will reorder and if
  there is information in popup window click on Run Reorder
  7. Take Note of the purchase requisition (PR) number e.g.: PRs
  Generated From:1184
  
  8. Go to the Purchase Requisitions application and bring up the
  PR 1184
  9. Change Status to APPR
  10. Go to Purchase Orders application
  11. Bring up any approved purchase order (PO) with revision 0,
  e.g. 1057
  12. From the Action Menu Revise the PO
  13. At this time you should have PO 1057 revision 0 status APPR
  and PO 1057 revision 1 status PNDREV
  14. From the Action menu/ click on Copy PR Line Items to PO
  15. Select the PR 1184 and add it to the PO 1057 .
  16. Go To Inventory application
  17. Bring up item S-546 central storeroom
  18. Run reorder against that item again - it will create another
  PR #1185 which is the issue at hand
  RESULT:
  The reorder process creates another PR for an item included in a
  PO in PNDREV status
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The reorder process should be looking at PNDREV status and with
  that the reorder process should not continue to reorder that
  item.
