purchaser code on purchase order - can it be made mandatory

Posted on by Community Member

We are having issues in tracking who raised purchase orders - looking at purchase order tables I cannot find a user ID relating to this action. One part solution is to check the purchaser code  (this needs to be blank on the vendor setup as many people purchase from the same vendor). However it appears you cannot mandate an entry in this field unless I have missed something. Has anyone an idea how to track the order raiser, and indeed the purchase line as one order may be used by several purchasers. Many thanks

    We simple added some code to the OnInsert trigger of the Purchase Header Table.

    OnInsert()

    **(you can add it at the end of all the other code on this trigger)**

    User.GET(USERID);

    "Created By" := User.Name;

    We have a field called "Created By" already in this table  (#70553)

    If you don't you can create one in the 50000..59999 range.

    You'll need a dev license to add the code.  so ask your partner if you don't have one.

    You can also pull the salesperson code from the User Setup table and assign its value to the Purchaser Code field on the purchase header.

    two more options:

    1. Validate the field on relase

    2. force the PO authorisation process
