Default purchase office

During the entry of purchase documents, LN displays a default purchase office. Depending on the type of document, LN takes specific steps to retrieve the correct purchase office.

Manually created purchase order and purchase orders generated by Project

LN uses the following logic to retrieve the purchase office:

  1. From the Purchase User Profiles (tdpur0143m000) session.
  2. If you linked a default purchase office to an enterprise unit, which you can perform by selecting the Default Purchase Office check box in the Enterprise Units (tcemm0130m000) session, from the enterprise unit of the warehouse.
  3. From the Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000) session.
  4. You must manually enter the purchase office.
Note

You can manually change the default purchase office.

Automatically generated purchase order

LN uses the following logic to retrieve the purchase office:

  1. If the value of the Origin field in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session is Requisition, RFQ, or Contract, the purchase office is retrieved from the purchase office supplied by the origin.
  2. If you linked a default purchase office to an enterprise unit, which you can perform by selecting the Default Purchase Office check box in the Enterprise Units (tcemm0130m000) session, from the enterprise unit of the warehouse. If purchase orders are generated for direct delivery sales orders, the default purchase office is retrieved from the enterprise unit that is linked to the sales order's sales office.
  3. From the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
  4. From the Buy-from Business Partner (tccom4120s000) session.
  5. From the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session.
  6. From the Purchase User Profiles (tdpur0143m000) session.
