Goal

How is the Charge Account populated for a one-time item on Purchase Orders and Requisitions?

Fix

There are three steps for Account Generator to default the expense Charge Account onto a distribution record
for a one-time item:

1. The Account Generator looks at the PO/Requisition Preferences first. If a value for Charge Account exists
here, then this account is used. If not, go to step 2

2. If the Requester has been populated in PO/Requisition distribution (Requester will automatically be
populated on Requisition but needs to be populated manually on a PO/Release) AND a Default Expense Account
exists in the Employee Assignment of the requester, Account Generator will use the Default Expense Account of
the requester. If not, go to step 3

3.The Charge Account needs to be manually entered.

Related Information:

1.The Default Expense Account for the Requester is set in the employee's HR record as follows:

Application/Responsibility: Human Resources

Navigation: People > Enter and Maintain. Query the employee name. Click on Assignment. Click on Purchase
Order Information.

2.The Expense Charge Account Rules can be setup to enable override of one or more segments of the default
account based on the item category. This is an optional setup to enable the Charge Account to
be chosen based on item category. Overriding only happens if an account is found in step 2 above.

Application / Responsibility: Purchasing

Navigation: Setup > Financials > Accounting > Expense Account Rules

3.The Account Generator can also be customized to meet specific business requirements regarding Charge
Account defaulting.
