Finding Out the Orders Raised for a Part

To find this out requires either MM or Promis, depending on exactly what it is you want to know. If you want to know all the open orders for a part then you can use either MM or Promis. To use MM you need to enter the REVIEWISSREC screen.

If you need to know all the orders that have ever been placed for a part then you must use Promis, which keeps records of deliveries. The screen you need is POMAINT which is, as you can see, option 9 on the first Purchasing Menu.

From within POMAINT, press F1 to get PART REVIEW and then you have a choice of how you want the orders to be sorted.

If you want the orders sorted by order number then press F1. This will list order numbers from the highest (usually the most recent) to the lowest. A side effect is that tooling and non-inventory orders will be listed before others because they usually start with the number C688, whereas inventory orders (Purchase Orders) start C683 or C684.
If you want the orders arranged according to the delivery dates, then press F2. This will list all the orders for that part with the most recently delivered parts first and the oldest deliveries last. This is usually the more useful option, as it is more realistically chronological; a tooling order raised last year will, using the first option, still appear before an order raised last week for inventory parts.
