Creating a purchase requisition

A purchase requisition is an internal document that is requested by the store for stocking, the sales department for customer orders, and the production plant for the manufacture of goods. It contains the required items, along with quantity and cost information.

    How to do it....
  3. Enter the Branch/Plant.
  4. Enter the Supplier address number.
  5. Enter the Ship To number.
  6. Enter the Requisition Date.
  7. On the Order Detail tab, on the grid on the first row in the item table, enter the Item Number, Quantity Order, and Unit Price; the Extended Price will automatically be calculated by the system.

How it works....

Requisition is the first step, and the first official document that is created, for the purchase of items, goods, and services. Companies normally create a purchase request before creating a purchase order. The process of requisition entry is the same as that of purchase order entry. When you enter the purchase requisition, you will enter the address book number as the ship-to address, so that you can track who has requested the requisition. In general, the purchase department manages the purchase request, and you can enter the purchase manager, address number instead of the supplier's. Requisition printing uses the same procedure as that used for purchase order printing.

There's more...

The requisition can be duplicated in order to create recurring orders. For example, say that every month you create the same request for office supplies. You can duplicate the requisition to create recurring orders, so that the requisition will remain open and the system does not close it.
