Price maintained in Project purchase request is only used to trigger approvals.

Resolution

The system will pick the price automatically in project purchase request  and Purchase request according to below Hierarchy:

  • First priority goes to Fixed source of supply
  • Second preference goes to Purchasing Contract
  • Third goes to List Price
  • If none of the above are maintained, the system will determine the purchase orders which has lowest pricing for a particular service

Note 1 - If there are no open purchase orders, then system will default the net price as zero in the project purchase request.

Note 2 - System considers only open purchase orders meaning the purchase order should be in Sent or Follow Up Document status. Finished purchase orders are not considered.

Note 3 - Further there is no priority between sent or Follow Up Document status. But system finds the open purchase order which has a least price.

Note 4 - Price shall not flow from project purchase request to corresponding purchase request.
