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 part lines on express purchase requisitions, i.e., purchase requisitions having order code 5 (Express).
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, while additional information is entered in the Quick Supplier Registration dialog.
If you want to view a purchase price comparison it is possible to do this as soon as the part number is entered. Select the line, and click Price Comparison. In the dialog enter the purchase quantity that you want to use for the price comparison.
If alternate parts are defined for the purchase part, you can view them by selecting the line,and then clicking Alternate Purchase Part Base Data. Any specified alternate parts on the site will then be displayed.
As result of this entry, a purchase requisition line with status Planned is created.
