Entering Purchase Order Reference Document Information

Use the Reference Documents tabbed region in the Purchase Orders window to enter reference document information for purchase order lines.

Purchasing lets you reference quotation information on your purchase orders.

To enter reference document information:

  1. Select the Reference Documents tabbed region in the Purchase Orders window.

  2. Enter the Contract purchase agreement number. You cannot enter a contract number until you have entered a supplier in the header, and the contract must be for this supplier. The contract you choose must be effective; that is, the current date has to be within the effective date and the expired date of the contract.

    If you reference a contract purchase agreement on a standard purchase order line, Purchasing adds the total amount of the purchase order line to the total amount of the contract purchase agreement. Purchasing lists only those contracts with the same supplier as the one on your standard purchase order.

    If this purchase order references a global agreement then Global will be checked and the Owning Org will display the organization that owns the global agreement.

    Attention: If you have not yet provided a supplier on your standard purchase order, you cannot choose any contracts for your purchase order lines. If you want to change the supplier on your standard purchase order after you reference a contract on your purchase order lines, you must remove the references to the contract purchase agreement, or you will not be able to approve the purchase order. Purchasing lets you change suppliers only on standard and planned purchase orders with the status Incomplete.

    Purchasing displays the Quotation and Quotation Line numbers, Quotation Type, and Supplier Quotation Number if you select a quotation from the Supplier Item Catalog or Supplier-Item Attributes windows.

  3. You can enter project contract information in this region. If you are using Oracle Project Contracts you can enter the project Contract number and Rev (version number). Once you have entered this information, you will then be able to enter additional project contract details at the distribution level.
