The replication process automatically creates the original PO index and release code for each purchasing activity. This field is pre-filled with the designated number of characters from the description of the material class in the Sage Timberline Office Estimating bill of materials during the replication process. The complete description of the material class will pre-fill the purchasing activity Description field during the replication process.
