With reference to the article “How to capture default dimension from WO auto generating from PJM”, you might think that it will be applicable to Back-to-back order when using default dimension code POW because of the same automate order generation process. However, it doesn’t work as expected for PO Lines.
If you look at the default dimension POW, source document will flow from SOH table only, hence if you need to have them in PO Lines, it’s impossible.
Here are some things that you might consider:
- Go to Set up > Financials > Default Dimensions > POP
- Set the respective dimensions using Source Document if you wish it to flow from your Sales Order.
- Now let’s create a Back-to-back order that automatically generates from Sales Order.
- In the Lines grid, ensure that you entered the dimension for Cost Center, Market and Product.
- Choose Product source = PO- Direct to customer which will allow you to automatically convert your Sales Order to Purchase Order.
- Go to Purchasing > Orders > Back-to-back orders, enter your newly created Sales Order and click OK
- Take note of your new Purchase Oder number that’s auto generated from the system.
As you can see, the dimensions from SO lines have been perfectly copied over your PO Lines.
