My recommendation would be to enter a work order number instead. Set up a work order for each project. When you create the work order, it will default to the location GL account, but you can override it.
Once the work order GL Account is set and the work order is approved, enter the work order number on the PR line and it will have the correct GL Debit account.

Subject: [MAXIMO List] Purchase Requestion - GL Account Codes & Locations
When you create a PR and add lines the gl account defaults to the gl account linked to the location record. We tend to use a project account code for our engineering actives. So they will enter there project account code in the default section of the PR line screen and then add a new line. When they add a location the account code they used is overwritten by the location default account code. Does anyone know if there is away to suppressing this functionality?
I know that you can enter the location & project code in the defaults and it will work OK. I have tried that approach with the engineers but they argue that they ordering parts for multiple locations.
Thanks
