A. LU Introduction (LU-SU3103)
A Field Order is a document which represents the requirements of a customer (often a project, but can be other internal or external partners). If the customer is a project, the FO corresponds to the project’s PO. The FO can be either created via the synchronization engine (comes from a PO created on the project’s instance – pulled FO) or can be created manually “on behalf” of the project (this action will automatically trigger the creation of the equivalent PO on the project’s instance – pushed FO), or on behalf of an external partner (of type customer) if for example donating goods to them.
