Create Purchase Requisition

Explanation

This activity is used to create a purchase requisition for a design object, to be received by IFS/Purchasing. From there, the requisition can be further processed and the corresponding items can be received into inventory. Each purchase requisition requires the definition of Site and Wanted Receipt Date. Documents may accompany the requisition. All design object additional parts, which are of the same site selected above, will create separate requisition lines updated with the additional parts' purchase quantity. A purchase order can be created upon the release of a purchase requisition.

Prerequisites

• At least one additional part should be connected to the design object.
• The part number of the additional part should match the part number of an inventory part in the wanted site.

System Effects

• A purchase requisition header and respective requisition lines will be created.
• Each separate line is also created with documents, if selected during the creation of Purchase Requisition.
• When the design object has an active project connection, the created purchase requisition lines will also be connected to the project activity.
