When our users complete a No Part Line in a Purchase Order, a pop-up asks for a Cost Cent.  The user has to click in the Cost Cent field, select an item from the drop-down list, Save and then Close.  When there are a lot of line items, this process needs to be followed for each line item.  This is extremely cumbersome when there are a significant number of line items.  Does anyone know of a way of streamlining this process?  For example, is there a way for setting a default Cost Cent (our users typically only use one cost centre)? Can the Cost Cent be populated on the Customer Order line instead of in the pop-up?..

Hi,
 

there is the possibilty to prepost the cost center in Purchase Order header. If you do that before you create the Purchase Order Line, IFS will enter the cost center from PO header to each new PO line.

Many thanks.  Looks like I have to add a Posting Control, which will then allow me to prepost the cost center in the Purchase Order header.

Yes exactly, for Purchase Order Header you need to set up M101
