Project pegged purchase documents - related processes

If a purchase document requires a peg or is project pegged, the related processes are also affected.

Additional information fields

If a purchase document line, such as a requisition line, RFQ line, or purchase order line is generated or manually created and the line is project pegged, the additional information that is specified for the linked (project) contract line(s), is verified. The information in the additional fields of the project contract line(s) is transferred to the additional fields of the purchase document line, provided identical additional field names are specified for both tables in the Additional Information Definitions (tcstl2100m000) session. See Additional information for project pegged purchase documents.

Backorders

Backorder lines are handled as independent order lines. During backorder creation, the original distribution line number is specified in the Parent Distribution Line field of the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session. You can change, add, and delete peg distribution lines for a backorder line. The backorder line pegs need not be equal to the parent object line pegs. However, if the backorder line is linked to a purchase line for item subcontracting, you cannot add new pegs or modify the project, element, or activity of a distribution line that is linked to the backorder line.

Landed costs

If landed costs are linked to an order/schedule line with a peg distribution, the landed costs are proportionally calculated by peg and transferred to the Integration Transactions (tfgld4582m000) session, based on the peg distribution that is linked to the order/schedule line.

Requisition generated from catalog

If a purchase requisition line is generated from a catalog and the selected item requires a peg, the requisition line can be inserted without a peg distribution. LN does not check the availability of a purchase distribution before the requisition is submitted for approval.

Return orders

When returning pegged goods, specific conditions are applicable.

Returning pegged inventory

Specific conditions are applicable for returning pegged inventory:

  • If a return order line is linked to an original document, the linked peg distribution is defaulted. If a return order line is not linked to an original document, you can manually specify a peg distribution for the return order line.
  • You can manually update the defaulted peg distribution. The return order line's pegs can differ from the pegs on the original document.
  • If two purchase return order lines are linked to a specific original schedule line/schedule receipt line, the same return order quantity and peg distribution are defaulted for both order lines. As a result, you must manually decrease the return order quantity and update the peg distribution.
Returning pegged rejects

LN takes the peg information for the purchase return order from the order from which the purchase return order was generated. For items rejected during receipt, this is the information from the receipt line pegs of the warehousing order related to the originating purchase order. For items rejected during issue, this is the information of the outbound order line pegs of the warehousing order related to the purchase return order. LN selects the pegs having a quantity in quarantine.

The quarantine quantities are displayed in the Quarantine Inventory field of the Receipt Line Peg Distribution (whinh3528m000) and Outbound Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh2190m000) sessions.

The quantities to be returned are subtracted from the quarantine inventory and subsequently the project inventory.

For the pegs involved, the return quantity is first subtracted from the pegs whose original receipt line or outbound order line peg quantity exceeded the ordered quantity. The overdelivered quantity to be subtracted is equally apportioned to each peg.

If this does not cover the entire return quantity, the remaining quantity to be returned is subtracted from the pegs whose original receipt line or outbound order line peg quantity exceeded the required quantity in sequence of peg line number: first line number 10, then 20, and so on.

Next, if this still leaves a quantity to be returned, the return quantity is subtracted from the remaining pegs starting with the peg with the latest requirement date.

You cannot manually change the quantities to be returned on the purchase return order. You can only change these quantities by changing the purchase return order line pegs.

RFQ response line

After a bidder is linked to an RFQ, a record is inserted in the RFQ Responses (tdpur1506m000) session, but no peg distribution is linked. The RFQ line's peg distribution is copied to the response line when the status is set to Accepted. A peg distribution that is linked to a response line with the Accepted status cannot be updated.

Subcontracting with material flow

For project pegged orders, operations or items can be subcontracted. In case of a project pegged subcontracting order with material flow, a peg distribution is linked to the Purchase Order Material Supply Line. For more information, refer to Pegging material supply lines for operation and item subcontracting.

Supplier stage payments

If an item that requires a peg must be invoiced by supplier stage payments, a peg distribution is linked to a Stage Payment Line when the stage payment line is approved. For a specific purchase order line and stage payment line, the stage payment line's Amount is distributed across distribution lines for combinations of project/budget, project element and/or project activity. The peg information in the Purchase Peg Distribution (tdpur5100m000) session includes the line number for the peg in the distribution, the peg (project, element, activity), and the stage payment amount by peg.

The peg distribution is deleted if the stage payment line is unapproved.
