MANAGE PURCHASE REQUISITION TYPES

Use this screen to define purchase requisition types. A purchase requisition type may represent a user-defined category associated with a purchasable item; it may also represent the actual project to which a purchasable item is charged.

This screen works in conjunction with the Manage Simple Purchase Requisitions screen. The purpose of this application is to establish requisition types and associate data entry rules and default data with each. For example, you can associate projects, accounts, buyers, procurement types, and an approval process with specific requisition types. As you enter records in the Manage Simple Purchase Requisitions screen - contingent upon the requisition type you select - default data populates the corresponding fields, thus reducing data entry and complexity.

This screen also allows you to indicate whether certain fields in the Manage Simple Purchase Requisitions screen are editable. For example, you can use the Allow Project Changes, Allow Account Changes, Allow Org Changes, Allow Inventory Abbrev Changes, Allow Reference Number Changes, Allow Procurement Type Change at Header, and Allow Procurement Type Change at Line check boxes to specify the edit status of these charge account fields. This allows administrators to control what data is entered by the user for different types of purchases.

You must use this screen to define requisition types before using the Manage Simple Purchase Requisitions screen.

This screen has two tabs:

Identification

Requisition Type ID

Enter, or click to select, a requisition type ID. When you save the record, all the selections made in the screen are stored with the requisition type ID. Later, you can retrieve the requisition type record using .

Description

Enter the requisition type description.

Active

Select this check box to designate the requisition type record as "active," thus making it eligible for use in the Manage Simple Purchase Requisitions screen.

Default

Select this check box to designate the requisition type record as the default record to be used in the Manage Simple Purchase Requisitions screen. Only one requisition type can be flagged as the default requisition type per company.

Although you can override this selection, it loads as the default requisition type for all records you enter in the Manage Simple Purchase Requisitions screen.
