Vendor Agreement Line Distributions (PO26.2)

Use the Vendor Agreement Line Distributions to enter multiple distributions for a vendor agreement line.

Using distribution codes and using the Vendor Agreement Line Distribution form (PO26.2) are two ways of entering multiple distributions for an agreement line. You must supply a company to be able to access the distribution code. Such company need not be a participant to the vendor agreement.

Processing Effect

Distribution codes are allowed for all types of vendor agreements. All Edit Account types (C, I, and S) of distribution codes can be used on vendor agreements as long as the distribution code is a percentage-based code only.

When you use a distribution code on a vendor agreement line, you build POVADIST records to hold the distribution accounting information that comes from the lines of distribution code.

More Information

There is a distribution code for a specific company. However, there are distribution companies for each account line on the distribution code. Those companies can be different from each other and from the company the distribution code is added for. To access the distribution code and get at its accounting information, you must enter a company.

If you do not enter a company in the distribution line, you must enter a header company. The system does not validate against all participant companies/accounting units at the time of agreement release, but full account strings are verified and validated when the requisition or purchase order is released.

If you delete a distribution code from the vendor agreement distribution line, all distribution associated with that distribution code are also deleted.

You can enter distribution company, accounting unit, account, activity, and account category as the only piece of distribution record. You must enter an account if you enter a sub-account.
