ASSIGN PO

Use this subtask to assign a requisition line to one or more purchase order lines. You can enter PO IDs manually or assign a "Y" (Yes) in the Auto-Assign PO field so that PO IDs will be automatically provided by the system. You can also use the Exchange Rates subtask to specify the currency exchange rate for the PO lines that will be generated.

If the assigned PO is a new standard or blanket PO, the transaction currency and related exchange rate information will default from the requisition, but can be changed in the Exchange Rates subtask. If the assigned PO is a new blanket release from an existing blanket PO, the transaction currency and related exchange rate information will default from the associated blanket PO header, and cannot be changed.  The system will display a warning indicating that this information will not default from the requisition.

If the assigned PO already exists (either as standard or blanket), the transaction currency and related exchange rate information will load from the existing PO header, and cannot be changed.   The system will display a warning indicating that this information will not default from the requisition, and that you will have to manually enter costs to ensure accuracy. If you select OK in the warning, the default values for the Negotiated Gross Unit Cost, Negotiated Net Unit Cost, and Negotiated Ext Cost will be cleared. All amounts on the row will be in terms of this transaction currency, unless specifically noted otherwise.

You must enter the information in this subtask before you can generate a purchase order line using the Create Purchase Orders application.

Vendor

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the vendor ID for this assigned purchase order line. When you add a new line, this field may default to the vendor ID established in the Header/Defaults subtask of the Enter Requisitions screen, or to the preferred vendor from the requisition line, but it can be changed. This is a required field. You can add vendors in the Vendor Info menu in Costpoint Purchasing, Procurement Planning, or Accounts Payable.

This field displays the name of the selected vendor.

Auto-Assign PO

Enter "Y" (Yes) to auto-assign the purchase order ID for this assigned line. The system will assign the next purchase order number from Costpoint Purchasing. An "N" (No) indicates that this assigned line will not be generated into a purchase order line when you run the Create Purchase Orders process. This field is required, and defaults based on the setting in the Assign PO ID Option drop-down box.

Purchase Order

If you entered "N" (No) in the Auto-Assign PO column, you must enter a purchase order ID number before you can generate a purchase order line.

If Auto-Assign PO is "Y" (Yes) and you have selected the "Assign Now" option in the Assign PO ID Option drop-down box, the system will assign the purchase order IDs in accordance with the PO Numbering Method established in the PO Settings screen in Costpoint Purchasing:

The system will increment by one the last system PO number in the PO Settings screen or the Buyers screen; both screens are located in Costpoint Purchasing. After generation, the purchase order for this requisition line will display in this field.

Note: If you selected Manual as the purchase order numbering method in the PO Settings screen (in Costpoint Purchasing), Costpoint Procurement Planning will not assign a PO ID; therefore, a purchase order will not be created. Changing the numbering method to System or Buyer will remedy this problem.
