PO REQ USer Defined Fields

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am looking for some information on the user defined fields in the PO Req screen.  I see in the setup that you can transfer line comments from the Req, I would assume that means transfer to the PO lines, but honestly I am not seeing them in my testing.   My client is looking to add some notes on the Req for the purchaser, they do not want to create a new comment ID each time they prepare a PO Req so were looking to design a field that they can consistently use and pull into the PO for the use of the purchasing party.  Any one have thoughts on this and where I might find the information I am assuming it is in POP10200 but it is not on the PO when it is generated as far as I can tell.

Thanks

Dawn

    You can enter comments without creating comment id each time.

    click on arrow button and open comment entry window,enter your comment and it will be saved in table POP10550, COMMENT_1 to COMMENT_4 are comment fields.

    From POP30200 you can get User defined 1 and 2 values for requisition number.

    Once PO will be generated you can find PO number and requisition link from SOP60100 table and can read comments and user defined fields values.

    To display these values on PO Entry window , customization is needed.

    I have seen customers re-name/re-purpose the 'User-Defined' fields on the Purchase Requisition Entry window, in order to use it as a approval step condition or to provide additional information with the requisition, such as making it a comment field.

    Via the Requisition Setup window, you can re-name the User-Defined fields to something like 'Comment1' and 'Comment2'.

    If you're able to customize the Purchase Requisition Entry window, you could also make these fields required, depending on what you want setup.

    Once you have the fields setup for the comments, you could add them to the email notifications sent out to approvers as needed.

    The POP10200 table does look to have the USERDEF1 and USERDEF2 columns in it, so most likely that is where the comments would be stored once setup.

    Thank you,
