Additional Properties and Category Codes

Additional properties and category codes capture user-defined information for a purchase order. At the time a purchase order is created, you manually enter values for fields on the Additional Properties and Category Codes tabs on the Order Header form or the Order Detail form.

The system performs the following processing for special purchase orders:

  • If you release a blanket, requisition, or quote order, then the system pulls over the values in the user-defined fields when the purchase order is generated.

    Note: Blanket orders released by the P4310 program do not carry over the values in the user-defined fields on the Additional Properties and Category Codes tabs on the Order Header or Order Detail forms.

  • If you generate a purchase order from a source purchase order that has user-defined fields, then the target purchase order also has user-defined fields irrespective of the processing option setting.

  • If you generate a purchase order from two or more blanket, requisition, or quote orders, then the user-defined values from the first order header are used.

  • If consolidation is used for order details, then the user-defined field values from the first order details are used.

  • If one order header is created for multiple lines from different blanket, requisition, or quote orders, then the header information of the first order is used.

  • If you release multiple blanket orders to one purchase order, the user-defined field values from the first blanket order are used in the header.

Note: Purchase orders created directly in P4310 provide access to the user-defined fields on the Additional Properties and Category Codes tabs on the Order Header form or the Order Detail form. Purchase orders not created directly in P4310, such as transfer orders, direct ship orders, and order generation programs, do not provide access to the user-defined fields. When the purchase order is generated, you can access the order in P4310 to enter values in the user-defined fields.
