Requisition Line Item or Summary Distribution Defaults

Requisition Line Item or Summary Distribution Defaults

Requisition distributions can default to Line Item or Summary. The defaults are based on your settings in FIS > Fund Accounting > Purchasing > Directories > Purchasing Parameters screen. 

On the purchasing parameters screen (at the very bottom) you'll see that following two options. 
  1. Line Item PO: True/False
    1. Set to True if you want the distribution to default to Line Item. 
    2. Set to False if you want the distribution to default to Summary. 
  2. Allow Alternate PO Format: True/False
    1. Set to True if you want to allow users to change from Line Item to Summary or Summary to Line Item. 
    2. Set to False if you want to prevent users from changing the default. 
Notes
Note that these two options work together. 
For example, if you have 
Line Item PO = True
Allow Alternate PO Format = False
The requisition distribution line will default to a Line Item PO, but users will NOT have the ability to change it to a summary distribution line. 

Info
The most common scenario is: 
Line Item = False
Allow Alternate PO Format = True
This defaults the requisition to Summary, but does ALLOW users to change it to Line Item distributions.
