  • How is the address displayed on a purchase order?

Purpose of an Unstructured One-Time Delivery Address

When the application is configured to allow it, a requester can enter a one-time address when entering a requisition line. They would do this when a delivery should be shipped to a unique address not attached to an existing location in the application. The requester enters an unstructured one-time address into a free-form field.

How the Address Is Displayed on a Requisition Line

You can see an unstructured one-time delivery address on a requisition line when all the following conditions apply:

  1. The Capture One-Time Delivery Address in Structured Fields on Requisitions feature isn't enabled. It's found in the Offerings work area, Procurement offering, Procurement Foundation functional area.

  2. The Allow One-Time Address option is selected for the requisitioning business unit. It's configured in the Configure Requisitioning Business function task in the Setup and Maintenance work area, in the Procurement Foundation functional area.

  3. The requester has entered an unstructured one-time address on the requisition line.

How the Address Is Displayed in a Purchase Order

You can see the unstructured one-time delivery address captured in an attachment on a purchase order schedule sourced from a requisition line having such an address. You can't enter or edit an unstructured one-time delivery address directly on a purchase order. You can't change the address on a purchase order schedule having such an address.

The unstructured one-time address is included on the purchase order line in the purchase order PDF communicated to the supplier.
