Purchase Types |
In Enterprise Purchasing, purchase types are used in lieu of order header types. The Purchase Types screen enables you to create purchase types; define the entities on which they are used (e.g., requisitions or purchase orders); define the default numbering scheme (i.e., NONE, STANDARD, or CUSTOM); and drive other business rules (maximum dollar amount allowed, product categories supported, and whether immediate receipt is allowed).
You may set up as many purchase types as you need to cover the various purchasing process business rules at your organization.
