Buyers Work Center - Selective PO Headers DFF Update
Hello,We are facing an issue in the Buyers Work Center. when we try to Autocreate POs from Requisitions.
We have 8 DFFs enabled on the PO Headers table. Out of these there is 1 DFF that is Mandatory but hidden.
In the Core applications, we used to populate this DFF by customizing the Workflow. The workflow would check for the Line Type and would polulate this DFF to either DIRECT or INDIRECT.
But in R12 Buyer's Work Center, we find that the Requisition Workbench does not call the Workflow and this DFF remains NULL when the PO is Autocreated and presented to the user in the Orders screen. So the user gets an error when they try to approve this Purchase Order. The user then has to go back to the Orders screen and we manually update the DFF. Once this is done, then the user is able to proceed without issues.
