Costpoint Online Help

Accounting Defaults Tab

Use this tab to enter default project/account/organization (PAO) information to use for a requisition.

PAO information is assigned to inventory abbreviations using the Inventory Projects screen in Costpoint Inventory, and can be replaced for requisition lines when you modify the defaults in this subtask. The PAO combination must exist on the Link Projects/Accounts/Organizations screen, and the account/org information must be assigned to the buyer on the Manage Buyers screen.

After you edit the fields on this tab, right-click anywhere on the tab to display the load options. Select an option to update the requisition lines.

Costpoint also checks for lines that may contain an invalid PAO combination as a result of the modification.
