Purchase Order Validation for Cost Center

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by rgcarney 105

Is there a setup or procedure which will require the users of purchaser orders - i.e., creating new PO's or maintaining existing PO's - to enter a cost center in the Header view > financial dimensions?  If the cost center is left blank, then the user will receive a error preventing the user from moving forward.

    Hi,

    Standard AX will only check the requirement when you post the purchase order.

    To have it mandatory is very hard as the purchase order header only contains a reference record id which represents records in several other tables. Such a requirement will be a customization, but pretty complex.

    Thank you.  Do you 'confirm' the PO or 'post'?  How would this be setup at post (or confirm)?

    If you have workflow implemented, you can validate any dimension value before it is sent for approval or confirmed.  We are currently using a workflow to check that the dimension on any procurement category line is properly defined based on a set of requirements.  If the validation does not pass, the purchase order cannot be sent for approval.  This is using standard AX 2012 functionality.
