Purchase Order Line

Fields

Accounting Section
 

Item:  The Item Number being purchased on this Purchase Order Line.

Division:  The Division associated with this Purchase Order Line.

Inv Site:  The Inventory Site where the item will be received. This defaults to the main site for the Inventory Division.

Inv Division:  This is the Inventory Division where the item will be received. It is also used for MRP planning purposes.

Purch UOM:  The purchasing Unit of Measure for this Purchase Order Line item.

Inter-System Sales Order Line:  This field provides a lookup to the Sales Order Line that was created from this Purchase Order Line.

Site:  The Site associated with this Purchase Order Line. The default Site is defined on the Division Master for this Company.

Purchase Order:  The Purchase Order Number associated with this Purchase Order Line.

Line No:  The line number assigned by the system.

User-added image  NOTE  If lines are deleted, new lines do not re-use the deleted line numbers, so it is possible that a Purchase Order may not display every sequential line number.

Status:  The Purchase Order Line Status changes automatically as the Purchase Order Line goes through the steps from adding the line to receipt of the full quantity. If 'Approvals' are turned on, additional status levels are defined.

Item Type Select:  This field indicates whether a Purchase Order Line was for Direct Material (including Subcontract), Indirect Material, or Service Items.

Item:  The Item Number being purchased on this Purchase Order Line.

Project:  This is the Project associated with the Purchase Order Line. If provided, it defaults from the header (Advanced section) but can be overridden at the line level.  The Home project is entered here if the Project is inactive in this Division.

Qty Req:  The current total quantity ordered on this Purchase Order Line. If a value is entered in the optional 'Default Qty Ordered' field on the Item Vendor Master, that value is automatically entered into this Qty Req field. The user can override if desired.

Qty Accepted:  Quantity received minus the Quantity returned.

Qty RTV:  This is the Quantity Returned to the Vendor on this Purchase Order Line.  A quantity in this field indicates that some or all of the original line quantity was not acceptable and the Vendor will 1) Not invoice this quantity and 2) not replace this quantity.

Qty Remaining, Inv:  The inventory-UOM Quantity remaining to be received on this Purchase Order Line.

Original Qty Required:  Original quantity on the Purchase Order Line.

Qty Remaining, PO Line:  This is the quantity remaining to be received on this Purchase Order Line.

Dock Date:  The date that the item being purchased on the Purchase Order Line must arrive on your dock to accomplish the the Due Date set on the line. It will be the same as the Due Date unless an inspection lead time exist for the Commodity Code of the item, or is overridden on the Item Master. The Dock Date is always equal to or earlier than the Due Date, and is calculated as the Due Date minus the 'Receiving Inspection' Lead time. However, once the line has been created, adjustments to either the Due Date or the Dock Date will adjust the other by the difference in days between them - the lead time is only used when initially creating the line and is not checked again when either of the dates is updated.

Due Date:  This is the date Direct Material Items must be available in stock, or Indirect Material is to be delivered to the requesting department. For Service Items, this is the date that the Service is to be completed. It will always be equal to or greater than the Dock Date, depending on any built-in lead times.


NOTE image.png  NOTE  This 'Due Date' is determined based on the 'Dock Date' and the 'Lead Time, Receiving Inspection' on the Inventory Item Master > Lead Times tab associated with the PO Line item. For example, if the 'Dock Date' is June 6th, the 'Lead Time, Receiving Inspection' is '3', then the 'Due Date' will be June 9th (i.e., June 6th + 3). As noted for Dock Date, the lead time is only considered when initially creating the line. Once the line exists, the Dock Date or Due Date is adjusted by the number of days between them, and not by factoring the Lead Time again.


Inv UOM:  The Unit Of Measure for this item when in Inventory. It is initialized from the Inventory Item's Unit Of Measure.

Inventory Qty Ordered:  Total quantity expected to be received to inventory on this Purchase Order Line.

note25 (1).png  NOTE  When adding a Purchase Order Line, if the 'VAT Class' is left blank, it will be populated from:

  • The 'Override VAT Class' (if any) on the Vendor Item Master (OR)

  • The 'Override VAT Class' (if any) on the Vendor Master if it belongs to the same Division for which the Purchase Order Line is created. Otherwise, the system will look for a similar VAT Class (as mentioned on Vendor Master) belonging to the Division for which the Purchase Order Line is created. If found, it will be used (OR)

  • The 'Override VAT Class' (if any) on the Purchase Item Master if the flag 'Override VAT Class Indicator' on the Purchase Item Master is unchecked. If the flag is checked, the 'Override VAT Class' (if any) on the PO Commodity Code associated with the Purchase Item Master will be used. Otherwise, the 'Primary VAT Class - Purchases' on the Division Master associated with the Purchase Item Master will be used.

Receiving/Inventory Section
 

Effective Item Rev:  When adding a Purchase Order Line, this field is set to the latest implemented revision whose effective date is less than or equal to the Purchase Order Line effective date.

Responsible Planner: The Responsible Planner is initialized to the Inventory Item's Responsible Planner (or its Commodity Code default) for Direct items.

PO UOM Conv Factor:  This multiplier converts the Purchasing Unit of Measure to the Inventory Unit of Measure. A value of 1 indicates that both use the same Unit of Measure.

It represents the date the Vendor must ship to meet the required Dock Date. This field is hidden for Service Items and is set equal to 'Dock Date'.


note25 (1).png  NOTE  For direct material and indirect items, the system calculates the 'Sched Vendor Ship Date' as follows:

  • First, the system verifies the 'Use Item-Vendor vs. Vendor Lead Times' flag on the Item Vendor Master > Misc tab. If it is checked, the system subtracts the 'Vendor Shipment Lead Time' (on the same tab) from the 'Dock Date'.

  • If the 'Use Item-Vendor vs. Vendor Lead Times' flag is not checked, the system verifies the 'Vendor Shipment LT Override Ind' flag on the Vendor Master > Lead Times tab. If the 'Vendor Shipment LT Override Ind' flag is checked, the system subtracts the 'Vendor Shipment Lead Time' (on the same tab) from the 'Dock Date'.

  • If neither of the above flags is checked, the system subtracts the 'Lead Time, Vendor Ship' specified on the Inventory Item Master > Lead Times tab from the 'Dock Date'.


Purchase Item Type:  The valid PO Types are Indirect Material, Outside Operation, Purchased, Service, and Subcontract.

Receipt Site:  This is the Receipt Site for this Purchase Order Line, which defaults from the Division Master Settings/Defaults tab.

NOTE image.png  NOTE  When a Purchase Order Line is created from an Inventory Requisition, the 'Receipt Site', 'Receipt Location ID', and 'Receipt Location No' will be derived as mentioned below:

  • If the location details (Location ID and Location Number) are blank on the Inventory Requisition,

    • The 'Receipt Site' defaults to the Site associated with the Location ID specified in the respective Inventory Item Master.

    • The 'Receipt Location ID' and 'Receipt Location No' defaults to the Location ID and Location Number specified in the respective Inventory Item Master.

  • Else, they default to the Site, Location ID, and Location Number specified in the Inventory Requisition.

Subcontract Section
 

Scheduled Pick Date:  Used for Subcontract items requiring material to be shipped to the Vendor. This field indicates the date the items must be picked to meet the scheduled due date on the Purchase Order Line.


note25 (1).png  NOTE  The system calculates the 'Scheduled Pick Date' as follows:

  • First, the system verifies the 'Use Item-Vendor vs. Vendor Lead Times' flag on the Item Vendor Master > Misc tab. If it is checked, the system subtracts the 'Vendor Lead Time' (on the same tab) from the 'Sched Vendor Ship Date'.

  • If the 'Use Item-Vendor vs. Vendor Lead Times' flag is not checked, the system verifies the 'Vendor LT Override Ind' flag on the Vendor Master > Lead Times tab. If the 'Vendor LT Override Ind' flag is checked, the system subtracts the 'Vendor Lead Time' (on the same tab) from the 'Sched Vendor Ship Date'.

  • If neither of the above flags is checked, the system subtracts the 'Lead Time, Vendor' specified on the Purchase Item Master > Defaults tab from the 'Sched Vendor Ship Date'.
