Purchase Order requestor is generally defined in Purchase Order distribution data
(that contains employee ID), but this is an optional information.
From this requestor ID, “Local Employee number” is derived from standard employee data (PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F table), and fills related field in export file.
Note : not populated from POLE Employee Number but from “Local Employee Number” flexfield
(ATTRIBUTE2)
For this employee number retrieval, PO Buyer must be used as “PO requestor” in following cases :
If requestor is empty in PO distribution data.
This happens for a “manual“ PO, not related to a requisition, or related to a “off6line” requisition
If PO distribution is related to an “on-line” requisition
and
if this requisition was imported from a sales order (INTERFACE_SOURCE_CODE = “CTO”).
This happens if requisition was generated automatically from a sales order,
for each sales order line that relates to an “on demand” item (ATO)
