Text Processing, Requisition

Explanation

When ordering a no-number part, i.e., a part that is not entered in the Part Catalog, you must enter a description of the part in the Description column of the Purchase Requisition/No Part Requisition Lines tab. A short description can be entered directly in the column. However, when you are entering a longer part description, it is easier to use the text editor. Reach the editor by selecting the requisition line in question, right clicking on it, and choosing Text Processing… in the Operations menu.

You can enter a free text to be used as a description when the part is purchased. You can also accomplish the following: type several pages, link phrases, and switch between the order lines by using the buttons Previous and Next.

Prerequisites

• A purchase requisition header must have been entered and saved.
• The requisition line in question must be selected (even if the line is empty).
• If a standard phrase will be added, the phrase must have been entered in the Document Text Administration/Phrases tab.

System Effects

A description of the part appears in the Description column of the requisition line.
