Purchase Type Exceptions (tcmcs2103m000)
Use this session to define purchase type exceptions. Purchase type exceptions link purchase types (and through the purchase type, a control account) to transactions that involve specific details for an invoice-from business partner and order origin.
Transactions for which you do not define a purchase type exception are posted to the control account linked to the default purchase type for the business partner group.
You can define exceptions for various logistic order origins, such as Purchase, Project, and Freight. You can define exceptions for these types of order details:
- Project Category
- Project
- Item Group
- Item
If the order origin is Purchase, you can indicate whether the exception is valid for direct delivery orders.
You can specify exceptions that apply to a specific business partner and you can specify exceptions that apply generally to all the transactions. To define general exceptions, leave the Invoice-from Business Partner field empty.
For each exception, you can indicate the priority. If more than one exception is found, LN uses the details of the exception with the highest priority. For example, if the exception for an item has a higher priority than the exception for a specific project, transactions concerning both the item and the project are posted to the control account linked to the purchase type specified for the item.
Each combination of order origin, item, item group, project category, project, direct delivery indicator, and purchase type that you define as an exception, must be unique.
Field Information
- Invoice-from Business Partner
-
The invoice-from business partner to whom the exceptions apply.
To define exceptions that apply to all purchase invoices independent of the invoice-from business partner, leave this field empty.
- Order Origin
-
The logistic origin of the order.
The order origin can be:
- Purchase
- Internal Invoice
- Freight
- Project
- All Origins
Note: For internal invoices, you cannot define exceptions. Internal invoices are always posted to the control account linked to the default purchase type of the business partner group. - Priority
-
The priority of the exception. A low value indicates a high priority. The value 1 indicates the highest priority.
For example, if the exception for an item has priority 1 and the exception for a specific project has priority 2, the purchase type defined for the item is the default purchase type for the order lines with both the item and the project.
- Item Group
-
Subject to the priority rules, the purchase type for this item group is the default purchase type for the order line.
- Item
-
Subject to the priority rules, the purchase type for this item is the default purchase type for the order line.
- Project Category
-
Subject to the priority rules, the purchase type for this project category is the default purchase type for the order line.
- Project
-
Subject to the priority rules, the purchase type for this project is the default purchase type for the order line.

If this check box is selected, subject to the priority rules, the purchase type is the default purchase type for order lines with direct delivery.
If this check box is cleared, subject to the priority rules the purchase is the default purchase type for the order lines for all orders.
- Purchase Type
-
The purchase type that is used to determine the control account for the invoice transactions.
The transactions are posted to the control account that you linked to the purchase type in the Ledger Accounts by Business Partner Group (tfacp0111m000) session or in the Control Accounts by BP Group (tfacp0515m000) session.
