    3. Click the “Save” button
    4. Click the “IWNT” button on the top of the MPO screen

      Maximo Iwant Icon
      • Clicking this button will send data from the MPO and automatically create an “I Want Doc” in the Procurement Gateway. It will only submit if the PO Type is “UBSC”. (Note: The IWNT button only creates and saves the I Want Doc in the Procurement Gateway ‐ it does not submit it. See step f. below for how to proceed from there.)

      • Click the “Save” button again. The PO status will change to “ORDERED”.
    5. Click the “Return” link on the top right of the screen, which will bring you back to the Purchase Requisition. (If it asks if you want to save your changes before continuing, click “Yes”.)

      • Follow this SOP (P04) for another approved PR, OR click “Start Center” to return to your Start Center
    6. The I Want Doc will be displayed in the Procurement Gateway 25‐50 minutes later
      • In your Procurement Gateway, review the I Want Doc for accuracy / completeness. If any of the MPO lines had a $0.00 unit cost, you must update them on the I Want Doc
      • Add any attachments that are needed
      • Submit the I Want Doc
    7. If a KFS PO is created from the I Want Doc, within 15 minutes of the KFS PO showing up in the KFS database, the MPO will automatically update to APPR status, along with any PO line updates
    8. If a KFS PO is not created from the I Want Doc, the MPO will not automatically update any PO lines or change to APPR status. If necessary, the MPO lines must be updated manually as well as the status changed to APPR manually.
      • If line cost differences are known, ideally, they should be updated on the MPO before approving the MPO. Also, if the
        exact amount of shipping is known, it should be entered on the MPO before it is approved. See Task 9b in this SOP for how to update costs. (Once the MPO is approved, a revision must be created in order to update the PO, then the MPO must be approved again.)
      • Click the “Approve” button
      • Enter a Memo if desired, then click “OK
      • Note: Items cannot be received against the MPO unless the MPO is in APPR status

The Result Will Be: A Maximo PO will have been created from a Maximo PR. Information on the MPO will have been populated and/or verified, such as the type of purchase, the PO lines, cost information, and the ship to/bill to information. The order will have been placed with a vendor via eShop, a PCard, or an I Want Doc. For eShop or I Want Doc orders that become a KFS PO, the MPO will initially be in WAPPR status, and then will update to APPR status automatically once the KFS PO information downloads back into Maximo (within 30 minutes). For PCard orders or I Want Doc orders that do not become a KFS PO, the MPO lines must be updated manually as well as the status changed to APPR manually.
