How the Sold-To Legal Entity Is Determined
The following steps are performed in and by the application to determine the sold-to legal entity on a purchase order.
1. Information for an order such as requisition BU, supplier, and supplier site is entered. For requisition to purchase order automation the application knows this and other information from the requisition.
2. The application checks to see if Fusion Supply Chain Financial Orchestration (SFO) is implemented. If so, it calls the SFO process and passes all the necessary information.
3. SFO gathers some additional information such as profit center BU and asset flag and identifies a financial orchestration flow based on available attributes. The sold-to legal entity (LE) is associated with the financial orchestration flow.
4. SFO returns financial orchestration flow, sold-to LE. purchasing trade organization, and Purchasing stores them.
5. If SFO is not implemented or SFO returns no agreement and hence no LE is found then the application finds the inventory organization using following logic:
If a backing requisition exists for a purchase order then the inventory organization associated with the deliver-to location is used. If none exists then the deliver-to organization specified on the Configure Requisitioning Business Function page of the requisition BU of the requisition is used.
If a backing requisition does not exist then the inventory organization associated with the default ship-to location is user. If none is found then the deliver-to organization specified on the Configure Requisitioning Business Function page of the requisition BU is used.
6. Once an inventory organization is found, the application finds the legal entity specified in the inventory organization configuration. That legal entity becomes the sold-to LE
Here is a simplified example of how that might work:
1. A requisition is selected on the Process Requisitions page and added to the document builder.
2. The application identifies the country of the supplier site from the supplier master for the purchase order.
3. The application determines the inventory organization associated with the deliver-to location
4. The application identifies the profit center BU of the inventory organization.
5. The application checks if Fusion Financial Orchestration is enabled.
6. If enabled, it determines the financial orchestration flow by matching the profit center BU to the receiving BU and supplier country.
7. The sold-to legal entity specified on this flow is returned back which is included in the document builder.
8. The sold-to legal entity is carried over to the purchase order.
