Duplicate PO - Distribution Budget date
We noticed that when a Purchase Order is created by duplicating an existing PO (using the “Duplicate Order” action), the Budget Date on the new PO is automatically copied from the original document instead of defaulting to the date on which the duplication is performed.
This results in new POs inheriting outdated Budget Dates when the original PO was created in a prior fiscal period.Users may then proceed with the approval workflow even though the Budget Date belongs to a closed period.
We can manually override the Budget Date on the PO distributions, but in our process users frequently duplicate old POs and continue without reviewing the distribution-level fields. This creates incorrect Budget Dates on new documents.
