2. Process

Specify how the system generates order headers when releasing multiple requisition lines and orders. Values are:

Blank: Group multiple requisitions into one order if values in the following three fields are the same for all selected requisitions: Supplier, Currency Code, and Exchange Rate.

1: Group multiple requisitions into one order if values in the following four fields are the same for all selected requisitions: Supplier, Currency Code, Exchange Rate, and Branch/Plant. For example, if you release two requisition lines with the same supplier, currency code, exchange rate, and branch/plant, each for a quantity of 10, then the system creates one order header with two detail lines. The number of detail lines is determined by the Order Detail Consolidation rule.

Specify whether the system consolidates detail lines when releasing multiple requisition lines and orders. Values are:

Blank: Do not consolidate detail lines

1: Consolidate detail lines by item, branch/plant, unit of measure, requested date, line type, and ship to.

2: Consolidate detail lines by supplier, item, branch/plant, unit of measure, requested date, line type, ship to, and unit cost. For example, if you enter 1 or 2 in this processing option and you release two lines with the same item, branch/plant, unit of measure, and requested date, each for a quantity of 10, then the system creates one line with a quantity of 20 on the new order. If you entered 1 in the Order Header Generation processing option, the system uses the lower cost of the two requisition lines.

Note: This processing option is valid only for line types with an inventory interface of Y. For all other line types, the system does not consolidate by order detail (item consolidation).

Specify whether the system recosts the requisition lines when generating orders. Values are:

Blank: Do not recost. The system generates the order with the same cost entered in the requisition. The system does not recalculate the cost.

1: Recost, and retain the new cost. The system ignores the unit cost on the requisition and retrieves the new cost based on the setup. The system generates the order by using the new cost, even though it is higher than the cost on the original requisition

2: Recost, and retain the lower cost. The system retrieves the new cost based on the setup. The system then compares the new cost to the unit cost on the requisition and generates the order with the lower of the two costs. For example, when you release requisition lines with a cost of 20.00 USD, and the setup cost is 22.00 USD, the system generates the order using 20.00 USD.

3: Recost only the requisition cost that has not been overridden, and retain the new cost. The system retrieves the new cost based on the setup. For example, if when you release a requisition with two lines and on one requisition line, the requestor allowed the system to assign the cost to the item, but on the second line the user overwrote the system cost, the system generates the order by using the cost based on setup only for the first line. The system retains the cost on the second line because the unit cost was overridden on this requisition line.

Specify whether the system should dispatch all generated orders. The system dispatches orders using the PO Print program (R43500). Values are:

Blank: Do not dispatch.

1: Dispatch.
