Purchasing: Adopting Default Data from Initial Screen when Working with Reference Documents (in Particular: Contracts)
As of Release 3.0, the data you entered on the initial screen of documents is also adopted in the document being created if you are creating a new document by referencing an already existing one.
This function is especially relevant to contract release orders which themselves contain no supplying plant, no storage location, and no delivery date (for example, release orders issued against centrally agreed contracts).
If, for instance, you wish to create a release order against a centrally agreed contract using the function "Create purchase order -> With reference to contract", and enter a plant and a storage location on the initial screen, this default data will be adopted in the items of the purchase order because such data does not exist in contracts of this kind.
If you create a release order against a contract that already contains the data "plant" and "storage location" and you enter default data on the initial screen, the data from the contract will be taken and your data ignored.
The same procedure applies when RFQs are referenced.
