Purchase Order Detail Section

Purchase Order Detail section field definitions

Title	Description
Account Distribution Method	Defaults to the Account Distribution Method (either proportional or sequential) from the Requisition document. Before a Payment Request has been processed against the PO, users in the Purchasing Processor role may change this value on an in-process Purchase Order or on a PO Amendment.
Assigned to User	Allows a user to take ownership of an in-process document. Users can then easily find documents they are working on.
Chart/Org	Required. Automatically completed based on the requisition's chart/organization. May be changed manually by clicking the lookup.
Contract Manager	Display-only. The name of the contract manager for this PO. If the PO status is In Process, Waiting for Vendor, or Waiting on Department, the Contract Manager lookup may be used to change the contract manager.
Funding Source	Display-only. The funding source for the PO; derived from the requisition.
Payment Request Positive Approval Required	Optional. The DEFAULT POS APPRVL LMT parameter determines the dollar limit at which payment requests must receive positive approval from a fiscal officer. If selected, this field overrides the parameter and requires positive approval on the payment request regardless of the total of the payment. The Payment Request Positive Approval Require field is displayed only if the PAYMENT_REQUEST_POSITIVE_APPROVAL_IND parameter is set to Y. This parameter controls whether PREQ positive approval functionality is invoked.
Previous Purchase Order number	Optional. Identifies the previous PO number associated with this purchase order. This field is typically used to identify the converted PO number from a legacy purchasing system.
Purchase Order Confirmed Indicator	Optional. Select this box to indicate that this PO is being created after the purchase has been made. This field may be used to track instances in which users did not properly create a requisition before making a purchase. In this case, the PO is being processed only to enter the transaction into the system.
Receiving Required	Optional. This flag can be set by a Purchasing Processor while a PO is in process. If the field is checked manually, the system will not use receiving thresholds to determine whether receiving is required. If the field is checked, a line item Receiving document must be processed with sufficient quantities received before a payment will route to the fiscal officer. After the PO is approved, this value cannot be changed. The Receiving Required field is displayed only if the RECEIVING_DOCUMENT_REQUIRED_IND parameter is set to Y. This parameter controls whether receiving required functionality is invoked.
Requisition Source	Display-only. Indicates whether the requisition that created this PO was input directly or created in some other way such as B2B.
Use Tax Indicator	Display-only if the ENABLE SALES TAX IND parameter is set to Y; otherwise, this field does not display at all. Indicates whether or not sales or use tax applies to this PO.
