POPH - PHONE

Create Phone Number Hierarchy
When a vendor has multiple phone numbers, define this common code to create a phone hierarchy for selecting which phone number to display on a printed Purchase Order. The hierarchy is the order of Phone Type codes that will print on the PO when the Print Purchase Orders (POPO) utility is executed. The PO format used for printing POs will display phone numbers per the PO format (POUPFO) settings, so the PO Format needs to be configured to display a phone number.
An alternative method for displaying a select phone number is to use common code POPT/PrintXX to print a specific phone type within a specific field on the printed PO.
The phone codes themselves are defined in common code PEPH/XX (where xx is the Phone Type code).
The phone codes are put into action within in the PE Information (PEUPPE) page, Phones Tab, Phone Type Cd field. The Phone code may also be linked to a specific Address Type code. For example, a vendor in PEUPPE has two phone codes, phone type "F1" for the fax number, "P1" for the phone number, both address type "AP." To print both numbers on the PO where the phone number prints first and the fax number prints second, the common code POPH/PHONE would be defined with P1F1 in the Short Description field. Without this common code, the fax number would always print first because F1 sorts before P1.
Note: On the Phones tab in PEUPPE, the Address code is sorted first and then the phone codes are sorted within the Address code.
