PURCHASING_DETAIL

The Purchasing Detail table provides a detailed view of purchase order information, right down to the Account Distribution (or Account Assignment) level. Thus each record in this table represents the fraction of a PO Line Item that was assigned to a single account (or more accurately a given Cost Collector/GL Account pair). A record in this table is uniquely identified by the combination of PO Number, PO Line Number and Account Assignment Number. The only additive fields in this table are ordered qty & amount (representing qty & dollars on the PO assigned to the account), commitment qty &amount (the current open commitment qty & dollar amount for this record) and invoiced qty &amount (the qty & dollar amount for this record which has been invoiced). All other numeric amounts on the table are informational only - they should not be summed on a report.
