D365 Splitting a Purch Req line results in wrong PO line

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 624

I need to find out if this is how PR/PO Split is supposed to work, or am I wrong?  I feel like I had tested this to death, including some dev machines, and my explanation is always the outcome.  My team says its never worked that way until the 10.0.6 upgrade.

Problem: A user entered a purchase requisition (key here) with Financial Dimension values on the line for the Dept and Fund, then proceeded to split the amount on the line to 2 different departments.  When the purchase req was approved and the PO was created, he opened the PO and the split defaulted to one department on both lines (the Dept entered on the FD line). 

What I think is going on: What is happening is normal operation. Updates on the financial dimension values on the requisition line will update the accounting distributions ledger account, not the other way around.

What sequence probably happened is the user entered the line Financial Dimension first, then performed the Split, and left the line Financial Dimension value in place. Thus why the original PR shows as it does. Had they done this the other way around, they would have seen in the PR both lines in the Split modified to the one Department value.

Finally, when the PO was created, it followed the line Financial Dimension value rather than the Split.

Guys, am I wrong??

    Hi Oceanfish26,

    I don't have any older environment available to check the behavior. I have never seen someone splitting the departments on the PR lines. I can't tell if there is a difference between older and newer versions.

    What is their purpose to split the departments on the PR? Are they using encumbrance accounting?

    Hi Andre',

    The user created only one line.

    As I wrote in the problem, the user believes even though the line Financial Dimension Dept box has a value in it, the two distinct Depts in the Distribution Split should remain as entered after the PR coverts into a PO.  The think their understanding is how D365 behaved before 10.0.6.  I told them it has always worked this way, but they do not believe me.

    Hi Oceanfish26,

    Can you provide some more information? Did the user create two requisition lines or one? You mentioned "until the 10.0.6 upgrade". Can you explain the difference of behavior before and after?
