Enter No-Number Part Line, Purchase Order

Explanation

The purchase order is built in two levels, consisting of an order header and one or more order lines. Use the No Part Order Lines tab to enter purchase order lines for parts without part numbers (no-number parts).

A purchase order for purchase of no-number parts is useful when you intend to purchase a part only once and do not want to enter the part in the purchase part record.

You can enter arrivals directly for order lines without part numbers on this tab.

Sometimes the description turns out to be lengthy. In this case, select the line, right-click and then click Text Processing. See the corresponding activity description.

For no part purchase order lines to be included in intrastat reporting, the Intrastat Affected check box needs to be selected. This check box can be selected manually without having a customs statistic number or a purchase group in the part line. The customs statistic number will be fetched from the purchase group relevant to the part while selecting the Intrastat Affected check box, or it can also be entered manually after selecting the Intrastat Affected check box.

Prerequisites

The purchase order header must have been entered and saved.
Enter the technical coordinator, if applicable, on the Inventory Basic Data/Technical Coordinators tab.

For Intrastat collection - the following prerequisites apply;

The Intrastat Affected check box must be selected in order to enable the Net Weight and Customs Statistic Number fields.

System Effects

As a result of this entry, an order line will be entered. The order line will receive the Released status.
If a supplier assortment has been entered, the system checks to see whether a purchase agreement for this particular supplier assortment exists. If one does exist, the agreed terms (discount and additional cost) are retrieved from the applicable purchase agreement. If more than one valid purchase agreement exists, the one with the latest supplier agreement date will be retrieved.
If you are working with centralized purchasing, the system checks to see whether the entered site on the line (i.e., the demand site) is the same as the site on the header (i.e., the purchase site). If this is not the case, the Central Order check box on the order header will be automatically selected. If the sites do not belong to the same financial company, any preposting information saved on the header will not be inherited by the line.
If the Use Price Incl Tax check box is selected, the Price/Curr, Price/Base and Additional Cost fields are non editable and the price is calculated based on the price including tax value and the connected tax codes. The additional cost amount is calculated based on the connected tax codes and the additional cost gross amount. The Price Incl Tax/Curr, Price Incl Tax/Base and Additional Cost Gross/Curr fields are editable.
If the Use Price Incl Tax check box is not selected, the Price Incl Tax/Curr, Price Incl Tax/Base and Additional Cost Gross/Curr fields are non editable and the price including tax is calculated based on the value entered for the price and the connected tax codes. The additional cost gross amount is calculated based on the connected tax codes and the additional cost net amount. The Price/Curr, Price/Base and Additional Cost/Curr fields are editable.

However, it is possible to choose another one if appropriate.
