## How to Pick Calculation Configuration Defaults on Purchase Indent Retrieval in Purchase Orders?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to automatically apply default values from the **PO Calculation Configuration** while retrieving a Purchase Indent in a Purchase Order. This feature allows the system to override the default values coming from the Purchase Indent and instead use the values defined in the PO Calculation Configuration.
***
### Objective of This Feature
* Automatically apply default values from PO Calculation Configuration.
* Override values retrieved from the Purchase Indent.
* Maintain consistency in Purchase Order calculations.
* Reduce manual corrections after retrieval.
* Standardize discounts, charges, and other calculation parameters.
***
### Access to Purchase Order Configuration
* Open the **Purchase Order Configuration** window.
* Navigate to the **General Options** section.
* Locate the option labeled as:
> **"**Pick Default Values from PO Calculation Config while Retrieving PI**"**
By default, this option is disabled.
***
### Understand the Default Behavior
* Before enabling the option, let's review the existing setup.
* In the **PO Calculation Configuration**
* Default Discount Value of **15%** has already been defined.
**Action**
* Initiate a New Purchase Order.
* Retrieve a Purchase Indent.
**Result**
Since the option is currently disabled:
* The system picks the default Discount Value defined in the Purchase Indent Configuration.
* The Discount Value configured in the PO Calculation Configuration is ignored.
In other words, the Purchase Indent values take precedence.
***
### Enable the Feature
* Return to the Purchase Order Configuration window.
* Enable the option:
> **"Pick Default Value from PO Calculation Config While Retrieving PI"**
* Save the configuration.
***
### Retrieve the Purchase Indent Again
* Initiate a New Purchase Order.
* Retrieve the Purchase Indent once again.
**Result**
Upon retrieval:
* The system automatically applies the default values defined in the PO Calculation Configuration.
* Corresponding values coming from the Purchase Indent are overridden.
For example:
* PO Calculation Configuration Discount = **15%**
* Purchase Indent Discount = Different Value
After retrieval, the system applies the **15% Discount** from the PO Calculation Configuration.
***
### Key Benefits
* Ensures standardized Purchase Order calculations.
* Automatically applies company-defined calculation rules.
* Reduces manual editing after Purchase Indent retrieval.
* Maintains consistency across Purchase Orders.
* Improves operational efficiency.
***
### Best Practice Tips
* Configure standard discounts and calculation values in the PO Calculation Configuration.
* Enable this feature when Purchase Orders should always follow centralized calculation policies.
* Review calculation settings periodically to ensure accuracy.
* Test the retrieval process after modifying PO Calculation Configuration values.
***
### Final Outcome
When **"Pick Default Value from PO Calculation Config While Retrieving PI"** is enabled, Logic ERP automatically applies the default values defined in the PO Calculation Configuration during Purchase Indent retrieval. These values override the corresponding defaults from the Purchase Indent, ensuring consistent and standardized Purchase Order calculations across the organization.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://kb.logicerp.com/logic-erp-learning-hub-tutorials-and-best-practices/order-processing/purchase-order/po-configuration/pick-default-values-from-po-calculation-config-while-retrieving-pi.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
