PO Item Distribution Form

Use the PO Item Distribution form to redirect the costs of a purchase order item to a different job, inventory location, equipment, EM work order, or SM work order.

You can distribute a PO item to multiple lines. Lines can be of the same type or different types, depending on your cost redirection needs. For example, if the PO item is posted to a job line, but some of the costs should be distributed to an SM work order, you can enter an SM Work Order line and apply it to the desired SM Co, Work Order, and Scope.

When using this form, consider the following:

  • PO Item Distribution is not a batch process - The PO Item Distribution form is not a batch processing form. When you enter a distribution line, it immediately updates the applicable PO items
  • PO item information is display only - The fields on the Info tab in the upper portion of the form display the PO item information. The values in these fields cannot be changed
  • PO item line 1 information is display only - The system automatically creates PO item line 1 when the PO item is created, and this is the line that is updated when new item distributions or change orders are entered. You cannot manually change PO line 1 using the lower portion of the form
