PO17

PO17.1 - Purchase Override Entry

Use this form to assign standard orders as purchase override orders for a
requesting location. Purchase override orders must be contract (C) or override
(O) types of standard orders. The requesting location must be a valid
requesting location in the Requisitions system.

When the requesting location enters a requisition for an item that is
included on a purchase override order, the requisition line is set up as a
purchase requisition (that is, a purchase order line is created for the
requisition line) regardless of the item type. Any requisition line becomes
available for processing in RQ125 (PO Generation) when the requisition is
released and approved by filling in either the Vendor or the Zip Create
Purchase Order field in RQ125.

Purchase override entries are also referenced by the Purchase Order system
when the requesting location is provided for a purchase order line. If a
purchase override entry exists for the requesting location and the vendor on
the standard order assigned in the purchase override entry is the same as the
vendor on the purchase order, unit cost is determined from the standard order
in the purchase override entry.

You may establish up to nine overrides for a requesting location. You must
assign a priority for each override order. The system searches the override
orders in priority sequence starting from one (1). You may want to start with
a priority number higher than one (1), such as two (2) or three (3), initially
and leave at least one digit between priorities to make subsequent maintenance
easier.
