By using the centralized purchasing functionality, you can convert purchase requisitions into purchase orders that belong to a different site than the requisition (central purchase orders).
When you convert a requisition to a purchase order, you have the option of manually placing the order line in a purchase order that belongs to a site different than the requisition's site. You can still use the three options: you can let the system add requisition lines to the first available purchase order or orders, add the requisition lines to a given purchase order, or create a new purchase order.
The prerequisites are the same as when converting requisitions into purchase orders on the same site:
The selected purchase requisition lines are converted into a purchase order, which belongs to a different site (the purchase site). The status on the requisition header is updated from Released/Authorized to Closed when all requisition lines are converted. The requisition line status is updated to PO Created.
In the resulting purchase order lines, the Site field will be the demand site (where the requisition was placed). The address on the purchase order line will be the default delivery address for the demand site.
When you convert a requisition into a central purchase order, the requisition information is copied to the purchase order. This includes pre-postings, internal destination, and any notes tied to the requisition. The price information is retrieved from the supplier for the purchase part relationship on the purchase site, not the demand site..
If procurement clause phrases are generated for the purchase requisition line, connections are regenerated for the created purchase order line considering the site where purchase requisition was placed. If procurement clause phrases of the purchase requisition line are manually created or edited, same connections are made for the purchase order line created.
Eventuallyythethe Central Order option on the resulting purchase order will be selected.
