Replicating Purchase Order Builder data
If you plan to use the Purchase Order Builder form to create purchase orders at other sites, set up these replication rules for Purchase Order Builder:
- From the site running the Purchase Order Builder to remote sites into which purchase orders will be inserted. This allows the creation of the POs in the remote sites.
- From the remote sites to the Purchase Order Builder site. This replicates the necessary _all table data for validations performed on the Purchase Order Builder form and for printing the Builder purchase order.
Be aware of these setup requirements for the Purchase Order Builder:
- These characteristics must match in the target sites and the site where the Purchase Order Builder is being run: base currency, currency and quantity formats, terms code table, tax system setup, tax parameter setup, tax codes assigned to vendors, and tax codes assigned to items.
- On each purchase order related to the same Builder PO, the system assumes that the same terms code, buyer, Remit To address, vendor contact, and LCR number are used.
- Vendors must be set up to use the same currency in both target and PO Builder sites.
- The target sites must have the same U/M Conversion factors as the PO Builder site.
- Transactional replication is required.
