You can define business justification reason codes to classify and track certain types of purchases. For example, you can create codes to signify that a purchase was made for a new hire, a scheduled replacement, equipment failure, a marketing event, or other defined reason. Because business justification codes appear on purchase requisitions, anyone reviewing a purchase requisition can immediately see the reason for a purchase.
Click Procurement and sourcing > Setup > Policies > Business justifications.
In the Business justifications form, click the New button or press CTRL+N to add a new business justification reason code.
In the Business justification field, enter the business justification reason code that you want requesters to use when they enter a purchase request. The business justification reason code appears in a drop-down list on the purchase requisition header.
In the Description field, enter the description that you want to appear in the Reason field on the purchase requisition header.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 to add additional business justification codes.
