Goal

Request to understand the definition of different purchase types in ordhead and what this field will coordinate in the MFCS system (what will be the effect of selecting FOB or DLV, for example).

From the documents we only were able to gather:

Purchase type for an order Indicates what is included in the suppliers cost of the item. Valid values are:

• C – Cost only
• CI – Cost and Insurance
• CIF – Cost, Insurance and Freight.
• FOB (Free on Board) – Used when the truck is owned by the retailer and picks up the merchandise from the supplier.
• PUP (Pick Up) – No definition anywhere - we need more detail
• DVL (Delivered) – No definition anywhere - we need more detail
• BACK (Backhaul) – Similar to FOB, but delivers to a location and then stops on the return trip to pick up additional goods from the supplier.

Please advise with more details.

Additional comment:
 We are looking at the PO fields and defining them for the team. Can you tell us how Purchase type is used? Also, can you define what the purchase types mean in Oracle terms, Delivered, Free on Board, Backhaul, and pick-up? We want to make sure we are building this training and explaining it correctly for the current and future users.
