How can I create or enable an error message when a PO is created using articles, that checks to see if there are upc's that might be missing from the articles. We can right now create a PO with articles that do not have any UPC/EAN attached to the article. This creates havok downstream. I would like to have the PO checked to see if all the articles on the PO have a UPC with them. Is there any error checking for this? If so, then where can I enable it?
Hi Al,
What application or technology are you using?

From my experience using retail, the downstream processes shouldn't depend on the UPC/EAN attached to the Purchase Order.
Technically, they should, but in reality vendor make mistakes, switch UPC/EAN between articles, and it's a pain if you depend on the PO UPC/EAN. Better to make the downstream processes depend on the master data which can be easily switched mid process.
Yes I know, not a best pratice. But reality beats the fiction of a perfect process.
Edit: And by the way, even the POS interface uses the master data to determine the UoM when you are making an GR against PO.
