Shared Applications - Financial Item Detail (Quantity Distribution)


These applications are common to the requisition, order and goods received input applications although field attributes may differ depending on the type of document processed. These applications are normally not directly accessible from a menu but from related Pop Up Menus on fields in the Requisition, Order or Goods Received options. The ITS philosophy is that the user should be able to enter a request or order on the Requisition or Order options; should the user however require additional functionality the functionality is available and directly accessible from the record on a second or third level.


Fields in the option:

Financial Item Detail Quantity Distribution

Quantity distribution is the most commonly used funding method applied when procuring items. Quantity is the default financing method and the only method available to use when requesting / procuring stock or  library items. Quantity differs from the cost and percentage financing method in that no funding relationship/partnership exists between the lines of an item.  The rejection of "Insufficient Funds" or "Approvals" of a line has no effect on the other item lines.
