Proper DEAMS Purchase Order Type for Syncada MORDs
When establishing Purchase Orders (POs) in DEAMS for US Bank Syncada invoices the correct PO Type is Planned Purchase Order.
Recently there has been an increase of MORDs being established with a PO Type of Standard Purchase Order, which is causing a lot of manual work. This causes the invoice to Interface into DIMES with an error. It will then need to be uploaded into EDM and manually processed by straight post (similar to a straight obligation) since releases cannot be reserved, approved, or matched on Standard POs in DEAMS. This causes delays in processing.
There are job aids on the DEAMS Outreach Portal or they can reach out to their DEAMS SME for technical assistance.
