Additional information for project pegged purchase documentsStandards, conditions, and requirements (clauses) between a customer and contractor can be specified as additional information on project contract lines. Because these clauses also affect the suppliers or subcontractors involved, the clauses can be transferred down the supply chain. 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, only if identical additional field names are specified for both the tables in the Additional Information Definitions (tcstl2100m000) session. Example This table shows the additional information fields that are applicable for a purchase document line:
If a purchase document line is generated from a source that includes additional information and that also has a peg distribution with additional information, only the additional information of the source document is transferred to the purchase document line that is generated. The additional information of the linked peg distribution is not considered. If an additional information definition is not specified for the source document in the Additional Information Definitions (tcstl2100m000) session, but the source document is linked to a peg distribution with additional information, the additional information from the peg distribution is transferred to the purchase document. Example
When a project peg is deleted or modified for the purchase document line peg distribution, the additional information fields are not removed or updated. Buyers must review the additional information to determine if data is missing or redundant and must be manually modified. They can generate reports to view the differences between the additional information fields for the purchase document line and the project contract line(s). Additional information fields with matching content are not displayed. Depending on the purchase document type, buyers can use these sessions to compare the additional information and print the differences:
