How to: Prevent requested date validation against agreement's effective dates

Content

Business case

When a purchase order sourced  to a purchase agreement is submitted for approval, Oracle Purchasing Cloud validates that the requested delivery dates on the purchase order schedules (if provided) fall between the effective dates of the source agreement. Instead, you want to bypass this validation.

Solution

You can use the profile option "PO_REQUESTED_DELIVERY_DATE_VALIDATION" to enforce or prevent the validation that the requested delivery date must be within the source agreement's effective dates. This applies to both contract purchase agreements (CPA) and blanket purchase agreements (BPA.)

• When this profile option is enabled (i.e., set to Yes) the application checks that the requested dates on all the purchase order schedules fall between the effective dates of the corresponding agreement. In addition, it also checks that the current date is before or on the agreement's end date.
