Offer Required Entry on Purchase Orders (A36)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether an offer must be entered for each purchase order created through P/O Entry.

Yes/No field: If you select this field, the Offer field is required during Entering Purchase Orders (MPOE). You can use this setting to purposely buy for an offer and keep track of an on-order quantity at the offer level.

Drop ship purchase orders: This system control value also controls whether to populate the offer field for the purchase order header and detail records when you generate drop ship purchase orders. If this system control value is selected, the system populates the offer fields; also, for a drop ship item that is a SKUed item, the system creates the SKU Offer record if it did not already exist, using the information from the Item Offer.

If you leave this field unselected:

• The Offer field is not required.

• If you enter an offer code in P/O Entry, the on-order quantity is still increased at the offer level.

• When you generate drop ship purchase orders, the system does not populate the offer fields for the purchase order header or detail, or create SKU Offer records.
