Shared Applications - Duplicate Documents:  Document Reference Copy


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.


Duplicate Documents

Three options all relating to the copying or duplication of documents are available on the option duplicate documents.

Reference Copy

The purpose of this option is to query Purchase Order requisitions and to allow the user to reference copy requisition information into an order. If reference copied the order will refer to the requisition. The requisition will indicate that it was copied. On reference copy of a item form a requisition to an order the commitment is transferred from the requistion to the order. This is done by inserting a cancel commitment record on the requistion refering to the order line. 
Fields in the option:

Block 1:  Item Reference Copy

The user may enter any of the fields in the "Query Criteria" block to refine the search of requests to be copied although it is not mandatory. On going to the next block all request
adhering to the query criteria.not yet copied or partly copied will be queried and displayed.

The external information field is the code used by the B2B vendor to uniquely identify the creditor on the B2B exchange. The user further indicates 
whether the creditor may only be used to download item catelogues or only place orders via the B2B exchange or do both by setting the external code field to (C)atelogue, (O)rders or (B)oth.
