The purchase requisition is built in two levels, consisting of a requisition header and one or several requisition lines. The second step in a new entry is to enter purchase requisition lines.
Requisitions for purchase parts are entered in the Part Requisition Lines tab. Requisitions for parts without part numbers, i.e., no-number parts, are entered in the No Part Requisition Lines tab.
Note that this activity description only covers the entry of no-number part lines on express purchase requisitions, i.e., purchase requisitions with order code 5 (Express).
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.
When entering a purchase requisition for a new supplier that has not yet been entered, it is possible to make a quick registration of the new supplier using an existing supplier as a template. In so doing, supplier information that is not company-specific is automatically copied from the template supplier to the new supplier and additional information entered in the Quick Supplier Registration dialog.
As a result of this entry, a purchase requisition line with status Planned is entered.
