Hello Experts,

I have a doubt on default Financial dimension value in PO.

Scenario:

I have assigned Financial dimension values to Vendor (Ven001)

Ex:

Business Unit: ABC

Cost Center: C001

Same way I have Assigned financial dimension value to released product (Item001)

Ex:

Business Unit: XYZ

Cost center: C002

At the time of Purchase order, I have selected above mentioned Vendor & product (Ven001 & Item001)

so what are the default dimension values will get effected in PO? and why?

When a Purchase Order is created, the financial dimensions specified on the Vendor are copied over to the Purchase Order header.

Later on, when items are added on the Purchase order, then the financial dimensions specified on the items/products are copied over to the Purchase order lines.

Please note that the financial dimensions specified on the Purchase order lines takes precedence over the financial dimensions specified on the Purchase order header and the transactions will be posted with the dimensions specified on the Purchase order lines.

Hi Santhosh Kumar,

I would expect to see

Business Unit ABC

Cost Center C001

used. At least that's what I get in my demo machine at the header and line level.

What do you see in your PO header and line?

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi

I think the financial dimension is copies from vendor if the purchase order is created manually.

Else it will be copied from purchase requisition, if the purchase requisition is changed to purchase order.

Hi

Item's financial dimension is used in transactions which there is no external entities like vendor. Like production orders. Otherwise for example for PO the vendor's financial dimension will be copied. Unless the finnacial dimension is chanhed on Purchase Requisition and PO is created from purchase requisition.

Hi Santhosh Kumar,

What I noticed is that the financial dimensions are inherited into the header.

At the time you create a line, the financial dimensions from the header are immediately inherited into the lines even if you haven't selected an item yet.

Once you select an item, the PO lines are from the 'dimension inheritence' logic at a lower level then your item and therefore used.

Best regards,

Ludwig
