The Automatic Order Processing Defaults
page is used to define basic data for combinations of Suppliers, Sites and
Purchase groups for Order Processing Types. You can define an Order
Processing Type for a given supplier, a site and a purchase group. If a part does not have an Order Processing Type defined in the Purchase
Part level or the Supplier for Purchase Part level, the system will then refer to
the Automatic Order Processing Defaults page to
select a suitable Order processing type. If the combination of Supplier,
Site and Purchase group matches those in the Purchase Requisition or the
Purchase Order, the suitable Order Processing Type will be fetched according
to the system-defined hierarchy.
For cases with No Part lines, the Automatic Order
Processing Defaults page will be used to fetch the relevant
Order Processing Type
The Order Processing Type with the most information is
given the priority in the defaults page. Consider the following scenario,
| Order Processing Type | Supplier | Site | Purchase Group |
| OPType1 | Sup A | Site A | PurchGroupA |
| OPType2 | Sup A | Site A | % |
In this scenario, when the Part or No part line has the
Purchase Group defined as PurchGroupA, the order processing
type Type1 will be picked from the table. However, when there is
no purchase group for the line or a different purchase group defined for the
line, Type2 will be fetched.
