      Hi Neha,

      According to me, It solely depends upon your charge account rules. PFA screenshot.

      If in the sequence you mentioned that you want to fetch account from 'Employee Charge Account' it will be fetched from that.

      when we create the PO manually, it is defaulting charge account as soon as we give requestor.

      But if we try to import via FBDI, it is expecting charge account column to be present.

        Hi Neha,

        1. What format are you using the provide the requester? Is it being populated on the PO upon import?
        2. Are you getting an error message when running Purchase Import without proving an account? If so, what's the error message?
        3. Thanks,

        Ivan

      Hi,

      Adding to above comments, if you didn't not pass charge account details in FBDI system looks for the Purchasing TAB rules and pick the charge account accordingly.

      If your accounting rule conditions satisfies to pick CA from employee charge (expense) account import process will pick it.

          Are you sure? Don't think so distribution tab sheet of PO import FBDI will force charge account.

          Just to reconfirm my point ,  have tried on my test instance without charge account on FBDI template now and Order got imported without any issues and picked charge account from TAB rules.(emp expense account)
