Understanding Cost Object Information Entry in Purchase Order Receipts

You can enter orders for multiple suppliers simultaneously instead of entering a separate order for each supplier. On the Purchase Order Workbench form, you specify the items that you want to purchase and the supplier from whom you want to purchase each item.

After you enter the items, you must direct the system to create purchase orders. The system combines items for each supplier on a separate purchase order, and the information for each detail line defaults from master information for the item or procurement instructions for the supplier. You can use the Work With Order Headers form to review the orders that the system generates.

If you enter cost object information during purchase order entry, you can review cost object types, edit codes, and item information during the receipt, landed cost, and voucher processes. The system verifies the cost object type and the cost object edit code that you defined in the Account Master table (F0901).
