I am using New PO Suggestions to create POs from REQs. I need to copy a couple of REQ UD fields over to the PO (that is automatically generated). What would be the best method of doing this?
I looked at a post BPM method directive on Sugg.Generate but the PO number was not in there.
Hi Jeff,
The PORel.ReqNum holds the requisition number in it. Can you do a data directive using this field to watch for change from nothing to req number and then fill out the req UD fields with the data? I think one other possibility would be to extended field mapping. I had an example years back where we did this below and I haven’t touched it since, but it works without complaint:

I ended up putting a Data Directive BPM on REQDetail on the change of the POLine field and updated the PODetail from there with some custom BPM code. I couldn’t find a UD field map for REQ/PO.
Jeff,
The Req number is not on the PODetail, it’s on the PORel. I’ve got a data directive now that fires on an ADDED PORel row where the ReqNum is NOT ZERO. However, since that code is on the PORel data directive and I wanted to update PODetail, I have custom code to take the ttPORel row, read the ReqDetail table, and update the PODetail table.
Your BPM sounds great. Can you send or post it?
During the process of auto-generating the PO, the system writes the PONum, POLine, and PORelNum back to the RFQDetail table. That is where I have my BPM set to trigger. It is having problems when there are multiple rows on the REQ. I would like to see your custom code. Thanks in advance.
