Purchasing ChartField Default Hierarchy

This list illustrates an overview of the PeopleSoft Purchasing ChartField default hierarchy, where each level represents a factor that can provide a ChartField default value.

• Level One: Purchasing Kit Items.

• Level Two: Item BU Attributes.

• Level Three: Item Purchasing Attributes.

• Level Four: Item Category.

• Level Five: Requester.

The first level represents the purchasing kit item setup, one of the most-specific default levels. Level five represents the requester level, one of the least-specific default levels. When determining which ChartField value to use, the system first references the highest default level for a value. If it cannot find one there, it moves down the relevant levels, searching for a defined value.
