Definition

Determines whether:

  • The purchasing info record for this vendor and material is to refer to this PO item, and
  • The item is to be valid for the entire purchasing organization or just for the plant.

Use

The indicator determines which prices and conditions are suggested in future PO items.

Prices and conditions can apply to an entire purchasing organization or to a single plant within a purchasing organization.

For example, if you create a purchase order for a plant for which an info record has been defined at plant level, the purchase order is based on the conditions in the plant info record and not on the conditions that apply to the purchasing organization.

Procedure

Enter the relevant plant key:

A

Updating of the document number is effected at plant level as long as there is a purchasing info record at plant level. Otherwise the document number is updated at purchasing organization level.

B

Updating is effected at plant level if plant conditions are allowed for the plant.

C

Updating is effected without plant data if plant conditions are not necessary for the plant.

Dependencies

The level at which updating of the document number may be effected is defined for each plant.
