Distributing Transaction Lines in Purchase Requisitions

When distributing transaction lines in a purchase requisition, you have the option to use a distribution template for easier distribution calculation.

Only users assigned with Custom CFO and Custom A/P Clerk roles can distribute lines and apply distribution templates to purchase requisitions.

Important:

You must first ensure that Purchase Requisition is enabled in the transaction distribution preferences. For more information, see Setting Up Transaction Distribution Preferences.
