When an Order is created and Authorized, the Send to Vendor button will appear. When selected, the system will send the Order line detail to Aeroexchange, where the Vendor can process the Order. This will allow them to provide a quote, send a shipment message when the part is shipped, send invoices, and make changes to the Order's Unit Price, Qty, etc. This interface between the eMRO app and the Vendor using Aeroxchange gives customers the capability to accept/decline changes to the Order.

ROS_ORDER is the message type for Repair or Exchange Orders. Each Repair/Exchange Order line is sent out as its own Repair/Exchange Order. Users can send orders to a vendor if it has been established that the vendor is capable of receiving ROS_ORDER messages. Only orders with Priority Types that are mapped to one of Spec2K Priority Types can be sent using the ROS functions. Other orders can be sent via email.

Users can send Purchase Orders either in Order Header Print, or via the Send To Vendor button.

This button is part of a customized interface and is therefore not available for most customers.

Note: This button is only available for Repair Orders and Exchange Orders.

Create a Repair Order and release it for authorization.

Select the Send To Vendor button.

Note: In order for the Send To Vendor button to appear, the Vendor for the RO must be set up with ROS capability. For additional information, refer to the Vendor Master, ROS tab in the Settings Training manual.

Once the message has been sent out successfully, the following information box appears. If response is OK, this means that the message has been sent out successfully. If the order detail lines have been already sent, then a message box will show "Order Detail Lines have been sent out already".

When returned to the Repair Order, General Tab, the ROS Sent Status checkbox is selected. This means that the ROS message was sent successfully.
