Requisition- Bulk Update (previously Global Update)

The Bulk Updates tool allows you to select an action and apply it across selected (or all) purchase order lines. This improves efficiency, consistency, and reduces manual errors.

📋 Available Actions (from the dropdown)

Here’s what each option in the Action dropdown means:

• Assign/Replace Account Code
  Updates the GL (General Ledger) account code for selected line items.
• Assign/Replace Distribution Code
  Changes how costs are distributed (e.g., across departments, funds, or projects).
• Replace GL Account based on Description (currently selected)
  Automatically updates GL accounts by matching keywords or values in the Item Description field.
• Recurring Payment
  Marks items as recurring expenses, useful for subscriptions or repeat purchases.
• Allocate Shipping Cost
  Distributes shipping charges across line items (often proportionally).
• Insert Tax Amount
  Applies tax values to selected items.

⚙️ How it works (based on the UI)

1. Choose an Action from the dropdown.
2. Configure any required parameters (fields below the dropdown will change depending on the action).
3. Click Apply to update all relevant line items.
4. The system updates the grid below (items like “desk” and “11” in the screenshot).

✅ Why this is useful

• Saves time when working with many line items
• Ensures consistent accounting and coding
• Reduces manual entry mistakes
• Helps enforce organizational rules (like GL mapping)
