Question

When creating centralized po, the demand site on the po line is different than the header delivery address.  The problem we have is that as soon as the demand site changes the line delivery address changes to match the demand site.  For tax reasons, we need the line delivery address to match the header delivery address.  

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to accomplish this requirement?

Thanks in advance

Hi @smelanson ,

If I understood your requirement clearly, you want the PO line delivery address to be same as the PO header delivery address always (or for some specific customers, sites etc)

And you want to prevent the users from changing the line delivery address to a different one other than the header delivery address.

If that is the exact requirement, a custom event can be created to pop up an error message to prevent saving a PO line with different delivery address than the header delivery address.

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response.  

We want the line delivery address to be the same as the header delivery address, yes.  However, it not the users that are changing it, it’s the system changing it that I want to stop.  we don’t want the users to have to remember to change it, to match the header, but rather change the system so the line doesn’t change when the demand site changes. 

Does that make sense?

@smelanson , so since you are using centralized purchasing, do you have different demand sites (other than the site in PO header) in each PO lines ?

Yes, in our company we create centralized po’s for po header site 125 and the demand site will be 120...always.  

the tax in site 120 isn’t the same as the tax in site 125 and on centralized po’s we need the tax code associated to site 125.  

 

We also create po’s for site 120 where the demand site is 120, and for this scenario, the tax code is correct.  It’s just when we create a centralized po that we run into an issue because the system is changing the delivery address to match the demand site.

thanks

So, since the delivery address in the PO line is fetched from the PO line demand site’s delivery address, I don’t think there’s a setting to fetch it from the PO header.

But, a custom event would do that for you, where the event action change the delivery address back to the PO header delivery address.
