Defaulting the Purchase Order type for STO

[former_member532441]

Hello all,

Between two of our company locations (Under Diff Company code), currently we use Purchase Order type NB for goods transfer. We are trying to shift to another Purchase Order type (Z) which is used for Stock Transport orders between these two locations. We want to make it a default setting using configuration. But we have some open POs with document type NB.

The question is - Is it necessary to clear the old POs with document type NB before we can shift to making the Z document type as a default setting?

What could be potential issues if we were to implement the default without clearing the old POs?

Is there anything else, that needs to be reviewed as well.

Please let me know if the question is not clear.

Thanks

Divya

A default impacts only data which is to be created, so a change of the default has no impact on existing documents.
