This activity is used to enter no-number part lines for a purchase requisition.
The purchase requisition is built in two levels consisting of a requisition header and one or more requisition lines. The second step in a new entry is to enter purchase requisition lines.
Requisitions for purchase parts are entered on the Purchase Requisition/Part Requisition Lines tab. Requisitions for parts without part numbers, i.e., no-number parts, are entered on the Purchase Requisition/No Part Requisition Lines tab.
Note that the express purchase requisition, i.e., a purchase requisition having the order code 5 (Express) is not addressed in this activity description.
A purchase requisition for a purchase of parts without part numbers is used for a one-time purchase of a part when it is unnecessary to enter the part in the purchase part record. When buying this type of part, you need to describe the specific conditions and needs for the part.
If needed you can also enter the suppliers part number and description of the part, this information will later be passed on if the purchase requisition is converted to a purchase order.
When entering a purchase requisition for a new supplier without a supplier record, it is possible to make a quick registration of the new supplier using an existing supplier as a template. In doing so, the supplier information that is not company-specific is automatically copied from the template supplier to the new supplier, while additional information is entered in the Quick Supplier Registration dialog.
If the exact price of the part or service is not known, it is possible to enter an estimated price.
Price and tax calculations are controlled by the Use Price Incl Tax option. The default value of the option is retrieved from the site specified in the header. The value can be changed before saving, if necessary.
