Enter Purchase Code

Explanation

Use this activity to enter codes for the type of purchase. This code is used mainly for information purposes on purchase requisition lines and purchase orders. For example, this code can be used to follow up certain types of purchases.

When you convert selected purchase requisition lines to new purchase orders, the purchase code is copied from the requisition line to the purchase order header. This also means that purchase requisition lines with the same supplier and purchase code will be added to the same purchase order.
