This report can be used to reset the external sourcing status inPurchase Requisitions.
Due to different possible technical problems in communication channelsor in the external sourcing systems, it could happen that a PurchaseRequisitions in ERP is set to status external sourcing, but in externalsourcing system this Purchase Requisition is not succesfully processed.In this case,ERP gets no corresponding confirmation message and theexternal sourcing status 'Pending' will never changed.
One possibility to solve this situation is to reset the externalsourcing status.


With Release ERP 6.03 Purchase Requisitions can be sent for sourcingprocesses to external souring systems. This communication worksasynchronous. For a Purchase Requisition sent out to external sourcingsystem a corresponding status is set. Until ERP recieves anconfirmation from external sourcing system, the external processingstatus within the Purchase Requisition is set to 'Pending'. Theconfirmation message from external system sets this status either to'Accepted' or 'Rejected'. The external sourcing system has to sent backa confirmation message for each Purchase Requisition recieved.
Only Purchase Requisitions with external sourcing status 'Pending' canbe processed.
