2.
Charge account specified in the Employee setup form (Human Resources / People / Enter and Maintain / Assignment / Purchase

account rules can replace one of more of the defaulted charge account segments with a new segment value(s) specified in the
expense account rule(s)
3.
Charge account specified as Primary Favorite Charge Account in iProcurement Preferences
- used only if a default employee account is not specified
- affected by Expense Account Rules only if the profile POR Apply Expense Account Rules To Favorite Charge Account = Yes.
For deliver to shop floor items the charge account is defaulted as described in Note:369461.1 and Note:216831.1

NOTE 1: The account generator workflow - PO Requisition Account Generator - defined in the file
poxwfrag.wft with the ITEM_TYPE = POWFRQAG is used to default the accounts for requisitions.
Any customizations implemented in the account generator workflow and any customizations implemented
in POR_CUSTOM_PKG (PORCUSTB.pls) procedures may affect the account defaulting and validation
logic described above.
NOTE 2: The above defaulting logic applies only to the DEFAULTING of the charge account. If the
user uses the LOVs to select new charge account combinations, segments, or favorite nicknames then
the default charge account will be overwritten with the manually selected values.

Applies to:
Oracle iProcurement - Version: 11.5.10 to 11.5.10 - Release: 11.5 to 11.5
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
Charge Account for an item defaults from the account for the item rather than from the Employee Expense
Account.
Expected Behavior
Expect the charge account to default as the Employee Expense Account.
Steps To Reproduce
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Navigate to iProcurement responsibility
2. In the main store search and select an item and add to cart.
3. Proceed to Checkout / Checkout
4. From the checkout page select Edit Lines.
5. Click the Accounts tab and see the charge account is the account from the item rather than the account
from the employee.
Cause
The Location used for the Deliver-To location on the requisition is associated to an Inventory Organization.
Since the location is associated to an inventory location the charge account defaults from the item
definition. This is the standard and intended functionality in this case. The charge account is defaulted as

confirmed in item 2 of Note 455847.1 shown below.

Note 455847.1 - How Is Charge Account Defaulted On iProcurement Requisition Lines?

2. The charge account information will only default from the employee setup or iProcurement preferences
it the Deliver-To Location specified on the requisition is an Expense Location.
To avoid the account from the item definition from defaulting on the requisition, please specify a different
Deliver-To Location on the requisition. Specify an Expense Location - one that is not associated to an
Inventory organization - in order for the charge account to default from the employee expense account
