As long as the command is not confirmed (or edited, depending on the configuration of the user's profile), changes to the line are still allowed.
These changes are taken into account and reflected on the lines of purchase requests. They are tracked in the change history.

If the order is open, you can add new order lines, even after issuance. Only the new lines will be carried over to the next order form.

Rules for initializing item or service data from the catalog or contract catalog link

Once an item or service has been selected in a purchase line, certain data relating to the catalog or Contract catalog link is transferred to this line. In some contexts, the application may not be able to return data automatically.

The purpose of this paragraph is to clarify these rules.

 

Data from the catalog or contract catalog:

 

Data initialization rules:

  1. If the item or service does not have a catalogue link or a contract catalog link, no data is returned to the PRL.
  2. If the item or service has a single catalog link, the catalog data is returned. The PRL is initialized.
  3. If the item or service has a single contract catalog link, the contract catalog data is returned. The PRL is initialized.
  4. If the item or service has several catalog link, no data is returned. The PRL is not initialized.
  5. If the item or service has several contract catalog links, no data is returned. The PRL is not initialized.

This data can also be reinitialized later on using the Search for item purchase conditions and Search for specific conditions actions available from the Item or Service infozone.

 

Color indicator:

The color at the end of the line indicates whether the item or service has been initialized by the catalog or contract catalog. This indicator is true as long no receipt has been carried out:

 

 

specific terms

If the order is linked to a contract, specific terms can be added; to do this:

  1. Go to the cursor on the add icon .
    → The various means of line creation are offered.

  2. Select contract references.
    → The list of Specific terms is displayed. If necessary, the [Search] tab can be used to refine the search criteria.

On a new order, for which no contract is entered, when a service/item is added:

  1. If the code for the element entered is linked to a specific condition, a pop-up window setting out the corresponding specific conditions is displayed.
  2. If acondition is selected, the corresponding information is returned to the order line and the order contract is initialized.

    → It appears highlighted in blue.

  2. On the action menu of the list , select "History of changes".
    → Details on the successive changes of the selected line are displayed.

 

Detail tab

The information is identical to that on the purchase line, but you can change all of it in the order. For details about the fields, see Purchase request [Purchase lines] [Details].

 

Allocations and costs tab

The information is taken from the original PRL , but can still be changed.

See Purchase request [Purchase lines] [Allocations & costs].

 

Address tab

This tab can be seen on a purchase order with delivery distributed according to the order line. It indicates the designated delivery address of the order line.

The system will automatically determine the delivery address based on the information of the entity entered on the order line, determining the delivery distribution, and therefore the "Selected delivery point".

Only addresses of the Main type are selected by the system as eligible for the delivery of orders.

 

If the system does not find an address eligible for delivery on the entity allowing the breakdown ("Grouped by"), it will then browse through the entity's parent elements in order to determine whether one of these entities has a valid address and select it as the "Selected delivery point":

If no main address is found for the breakdown entity of an order line, the system will take the order's default delivery address and will indicate the order code in the selected delivery point.
