Punchout - This PO contains items with no supplier part ID

This error can occur when transmitting POs to the supplier if one of the PO lines does not have a value filled out in the Supplier Part ID column. 



This column is automatically added when the PO is created via the Punchout process. In almost all cases when this error occurs, the user has attempted to manually edit the PO and add a new line manually after the PO was already created via the Punchout process. This new line is therefore not tagged correctly with the Supplier Part ID and other fields on the transaction lines which are automatically populated during the Punchout Process (pictured below)


Supplier line fields returned during Punchout process:


The remedy for this is to remove the line which was not created as part of the Punchout process and then re-transmit the PO. 


Note: if the line is a tax or shipping line or an other charge that is required to be manually added on the PO (such as taxes or shipping), there is a global configuration to disable this error and simply skip non-Punchout lines rather that showing an error. If this setting is enabled globally, users will no longer receive this error, lines will simply be skipped and the user will not be aware that products have not been included.
