Posted on by mbazioss

Hi,

I have the following situation.

Setup

Posting Setup -> Purchase Order -> Purchase expenditure for expense -> Item Code = Category, Category Relation -> Category A, Main Account = AccA

Steps

1.Create a Purchase Order with one line of type Procurement Category and Category A

2. go to Purchase Line-> Financials-> Distribute Amounts -> system defaults amount to account AccA

3. change the account to something else, so the amount is distributed in account = AccB.

4. post invoice and everything is as expected(AccB is used correctly);

5. If i use the copy functionality for this Purchase Order then account distribution for new Purchase Order-Purchase line comes from the default setup, and uses AccA.

Is there any parameter, or setup that maybe can be used?

Thanks in advance,

I have the same question (0)

Hi mbazioss,

Did you try copy lines to an existing purchase order? Select Purchase order line > copy > From all. Could you specify how you change the account to something else, so the amount is distributed in account = AccB?

Hi Judy,

I tried copy->from All-> and then chose the original Purchase Order.(tried same scenario with all different parameters-Copy Precisely etc.)

The line was copied correctly, but not the Account Distribution.

"Could you specify how you change the account to something else, so the amount is distributed in account = AccB"

I just change the main account in Accounting Distribution of purchase line to some other Account than the setup.

System allows it and everything including posting works correctly.

It seems that copy functionality does not copy the Account Distributions.
