This field provides the following controls for the branches:

• Direct verification of purchase order balances.
• Generation of the respective inbound documents.
• Calculation of taxes according to the branch location.

With this resource, the head office can centralize the placement of purchase orders for all branches, thereby obtaining greater power of negotiation due to the purchase volume. However, the control of order balance, of inbound document, and of tax calculation for each branch can be distributed. For this, you must configure the parameter MV_PCFILEN with T, which enables you to fill out the Delivery Branch field in the Purchase Order routine, besides entering the single sequential numbering of purchase orders.
