BUDGETING DEFAULT VALUES:  
21. Budget Hold Code The hold code you enter here must be set up in UDC table 42/HC. The standard code is B1. If you enter a code here and you don't have a budget set up for the account, the order will go on hold.

23. Level of Detail to accumulate the budget (5-9).

If left blank, 9 will be used.

Enter a value here to indicate the level of detail the system uses to check your chart of accounts to find an available budget. If the level of detail designated in the processing option (for example, 6) is less than the level of detail applicable to the account entered on the purchase order (for example, 9), the system will edit against the budget amount set up for the account at level 6. The system looks upward in the chart of accounts to find the first account number at the level of detail specified in the option, above the account on the detail line of the order.
24. Budget Ledger Type Use this processing option to indicate the ledger type for which to check the budget. For financial budgets the standard ledger type is BA and for Job Cost the standard ledger type is JA

If left blank, the budget will accumulate for the total year.

Enter a value here only if you have selected method 2 in the previous processing option. It is used to provide flexibility when budgets for the accounts are set up on a period basis. A value of 1 will add all available budgets from the beginning of the year to the current period. A value of 2 will indicate to the system to check the total year budget for the account.

Note: A '1' will blank out unit and extended cost. A '1' or '2' will default the Branch Plant into the ship-to address.

You use this option to specify whether releases for like items/accounts are consolidated on the new order. If you leave the option blank, the new order contains an individual detail line for each quantity or amount you release.

A value of 1 primarily serves to accommodate the consolidation of requisitions to quote orders. When you select 1 to consolidate like items on one or more requisitions to a single line item on a new quote order, the system eliminates the price on the new quote order line (since you expect vendors to provide you their quoted prices).

A value of 2 allows you to combine like information into a single line item on the new order. If you select option 2, the system will retrieve the ship-to address from the branch on the new order, as opposed to using the ship-to address entered on the initial requisition or blanket order.

ITEM AVAILABILITY:  
34. Enter a '1' to update the "Quantity on Other PO's" field (OT1A) in the Item Branch or Location files (i.e. Requisitions and Blanket Orders).

If left blank, the "Quantity on PO" field (PREQ) will be updated.

Enter 1 here if you do not expect to receive the items on the new orders you generate using this version of P43060. For example, when you create quote orders, you usually don't expect to receive the items into stock, instead, you intend to receive a price quote for the items. You can view the cumulative Quantity on Other PO value for an item in Detailed Availability (P41023).
