Description: 

PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL contains accounting distribution information for a purchase order shipment line. You need one row for each distribution line you attach to a purchase order shipment. There are four types of documents using distributions in Oracle Purchasing:

1. Standard Purchase Orders
2. Planned Purchase Orders
3. Planned Purchase Order Releases
4. Blanket Purchase Order Releases

Each row includes the destination type, requestor ID, quantity ordered and deliver-to location for the distribution.

 

Oracle Purchasing uses this information to record accounting and requisition information for purchase orders and releases.

PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL is one of five tables storing purchase order and release information.

 

Some columns in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS_ALL contain information only if certain conditions exist:

• If you autocreate this accounting distribution from a requisition, REQ_DISTRIBUTION_ID corresponds to the ID of the requisition distribution you copy on the purchase order.
  
  
• If you use a foreign currency on your purchase order, Oracle Purchasing stores currency conversion information in RATE and RATE_DATE.
  
  
• If you use encumbrance, GL_ENCUMBERED_DATE and GL_ENCUMBERED_PERIOD_NAME contain encumbrance information Oracle Purchasing uses to create journal entries in Oracle General Ledger.
  
  
• If you do not autocreate the purchase order from online requisitions, REQ_LINE_REFERENCE_NUM and   REQ_HEADER_REFERENCE_NUM contain the requisition number and requisition line number of the corresponding paper requisition. These two columns are not foreign keys to another table.
  
  
• If the distribution corresponds to a blanket purchase order release, PO_RELEASE_ID identifies this release.
  
  
• If SOURCE_DISTRIBUTION_ID has a value, the distribution is part of a planned purchase order release.
  
  
• If you cancel the distribution, Oracle Purchasing automatically updates QUANTITY_CANCELLED or GL_CANCELLED_DATE. Oracle Purchasing also enters UNENCUMBERED_AMOUNT if you use encumbrance.

You enter distribution information in the Distributions window, accessible through the Purchase Orders and Releases windows.
