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 of the Order Header or Order Detail forms.

Purchase orders created directly in P4310 provide access to the user-defined fields on the Additional Properties and Category Codes tabs of the Order Header or Order Detail forms. 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. Once the purchase order is generated, you can then access the order in P4310 to enter values in the user-defined fields.

If you copy a purchase order that has values in the additional properties and category codes user-defined fields, then the duplicate purchase order will also have field values, irrespective of the processing options.

Note: Purchase orders created through sourcing using the Analyze Event program (P43Q50), through supplier self-service using the SRM - PO Acknowledgement program (P43S01), or through EDI using the EDI Inbound P.O. Acknowledgment program (R47021) do not handle the user-defined fields.
