APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem Description:
  Deleting a PO line that has been generated from an RFQ removes
  the PO reference from the associated RFQ line (expected). It
  also removes the PO reference from other RFQ line on the same
  RFQ, even if they were placed on separate POs (unexpected).
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Go to Purchase Requisitions application.
  
  2. Create a new PR with 2 PR Lines as the following:
  
  PR Line 1:
  Item: FLT001
  Quantity: 1.00
  Charge To > Storeroom: CENTRAL
  
  PR Line 2:
  Item: FLT908
  Quantity: 1.00
  Charge To > Storeroom: CENTRAL
  
  
  3. Approve PR and take note of its number.
  
  
  4. Go to Request for Quotations application.
  
  5. Create a new RFQ record, save it, and take note of its
  number.
  
  6. From More Actions menu, select Copy PR Line Items to RFQ.
  
  7. In the Copy PR Line Items to RFQ dialog, filter by the PR
  created above, select the 2 PR Lines, and click OK.
  
  8. Still with the RFQ record on the screen, go to Vendors tab.
  
  9. Enter 2 Vendors, BWC and CMC, and save the record.
  ?
  10. From More Actions menu, select Sent to Vendors.
  
  11. Award RFQ Line 1 (Item FLT001) to Vendor BWC; and RFQ Line 2
  (Item FLT908) to Vendor CMC.
  
  12. Create the respective POs, taking note of their numbers.
  
  13. Go back to RFQ Lines tab.
  
  14. Expand the RFQ Lines. In each of them, note the reference to
  the corresponding PO and PO Line.
  
  15. Go to Purchase Orders application.
  
  16. Bring up the first PO created above (associated to Vendor
  BWC and Item FLT001) and approve it.
  
  17. Revise the PO, delete the PO Line, and save the record.
  
  18. Approve the PO Revision.
  
  19. Go back to Request for Quotations application.
  
  20. Bring up to the screen the RFQ record in question.
  
  21. Go to RFQ Lines tab.
  
  22. Expand the RFQ Line 1 (associated to Vendor BWC and Item
  FLT001).
  
  Result: As expected, the reference to both PO and PO Line has
  correctly been removed. That's OK.
  ?
  23. Expand the RFQ Line 2 (associated to Vendor CMC and Item
  FLT908).
  
  RESULT:
  The reference to both PO and PO Line has wrongly been removed.
  This is the issue.
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  For RFQ Line 2, the reference to both PO and PO Line should be
  kept.
