Create Purchase Requisition from Chart

Explanation

Use this activity to create a new purchase requisition for the part record selected in a chart.

To perform this activity select one or more demand segment(s) in the Inventory Part Availability Planning chart and click New Purchase Requisition.

• The sum of the demands for the selected segment(s) appears by default in the Supply Quantity field, but can be manually changed.
• The earliest due date from the selected demand(s) appears by default in the Due Date field, but can be manually changed.

Prerequisites

• The part must not be configured.
• The part must not be connected to a project.
• The Part Type list should be set to either Purchased or Purchased (Raw) on the Inventory Part page and a primary supplier must exist on the Supplier for Purchase Part page.
• The requisitioner must have been entered on the Requisitioners page.

System Effects

As a result of this activity the system creates a purchase requisition in Planned status and a purchase requisition line with Planned status for the specified date and quantity. If there is a primary supplier for the purchased part, the requisition line will be created for that supplier, otherwise it will be created without a supplier. From this requisition, you can create a purchase order. The system automatically generates the requisition number.
