Supply expediting is the process of either parties (Expeditor from the Buying organization and the Purchase Order contact from the Supplier) proposing changes to the Release schedule of a Purchase Order to the other party and the other party accepting or rejecting the changes.
Such proposals can include one or more of the following:
– Moving a Release Item from a scheduled date to another date
– Splitting the scheduled Release Quantity of a Release Item between multiple Releases
However, such proposals, cannot include the following:
– Adding a new Item to the Purchase Order
– Reducing or increasing the Total quantity of an Item across all Releases
NOTE:
1) Only one proposal can be ongoing for a Purchase Order any point in time
2) When the Expeditor or Supplier has proposed some changes, the other party cannot propose.
3) Such changes can be proposed only after the Supplier has accepted the Purchase Order
