Below is the behaviour explained in Payables Implementation Users Guide
Release 12.1
Part No. E12795-04
Transfer PO Descriptive Flexfield Information. Enable this option if you want
Payables to automatically transfer the descriptive flexfield information from the
purchase order distribution to the invoice distribution when you match an invoice to a
purchase order. If you enable this option, make sure that the flexfield structure is the
same for purchase order distributions and invoice distributions.
Please note that for invoices imported through the invoice open interface if a value is
provided for any flexfield attribute in the invoice open interface, that value will
overwrite the resulting attribute value on the invoice.
So for imported invoices expect the DFF values in AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE to be copied to invoice distributions AND when DFF is not populated in PO_DISTRIBUTIONS, DFF values from AP_INVOICE_LINES_INTERFACE to be copied.
