Connect Purchase Requisition Line to Project Activity

Explanation

You can manually connect one or more purchase requisition lines to a project activity by clicking Project Connections and then Connect to Activity. Do this to obtain the cost of the project activity of goods being requested for the project through the purchase requisition.

Note that you can manually connect an existing purchase requisition line to a project activity also from the project activity. Another alternative is to handle a project demand by procuring material against the miscellaneous demand on the project activity. In such situations, the connection between the project activity and the purchase requisition line would be generated by the system.

Of the above alternatives, manually connecting a purchase requisition line to a project activity from the line itself (described in this activity), is the most efficient process of handling purchase requisitions for a project activity. This is because it excludes the need to access the project client when handling project supplies. If you have a demand against inventory for a project activity, you can supply this by creating a purchase requisition for that demand in a standard manner, and connecting it to a project activity from the purchase requisition line itself.  

Note: A purchase requisition line that has been connected to a project can result in the creation of a purchase order line or a request for quotation (RFQ), and the request for quotation may in turn be converted to a purchase order line. In both cases, the purchase order line that is created will also inherit the connection to the project activity as well as the pre-posting.
