Purchase requisition : Receiving Operating Unit

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Member

Hi,

We use AX 2013 R3.

We're in the process of opening up Purchase requisitions to users.  We've made a bunch of tests.  There is a field for which we remain uncertains of its purpose :

          Reveiving Operating unit on the requisition line.

We haven't figured out how it influences the PO(s) that will be generated from the requisition?

 

Can anyone shed some light?

 

Thanks in advance.

Denis Marcoux

    Definition from TechNet "The name of the organization’s operating unit, such as a department or cost center, that is receiving the product on the purchase requisition. This is usually the operating unit in which the requester is employed, or has permission to request products." Refer technet.microsoft.com/.../hh208983.aspx

    Dear Denis,

    Department codes of the requester will be specified in the detail line of a request in the column “Receiving operating unit”. It is used in work flow.

    Managerial Hierarchy works based on the “position hierarchy” that is defined in the organization.

    Thanks, I had read this.  Still I don't understand from this how the value in this field will influence the lifecycle of the purchase requisition or of the pruchase order that will be issued to fullfil it.  Is this informational only?  Are there reports that use this field?

    Thaks Prashant, I think this answers the question.
