What can I do in this tab?

This tab displays the Requisitioner group box along with the Buyer, Requisition Date, Target Place Date, Date Entered, Buyer Assignment Date, and Procurement fields. This tab also displays the Combine with Other Requisitions and Requisition Printed checkboxes.

Requisitioner *

Enter, or use Lookup to select, up to 12 alphanumeric characters to designate the employee ID of the requisitioner.  The employee name displays in the adjacent, non-editable field.

The data available in the Lookup originates from the Employee User Flow screen (People\Maintain\Employee).

Organization

Enter, or use Lookup to select, up to 20 alphanumeric characters to designate the organization ID of the requisitioner.

The data available in the Lookup originates from the Organization Structures screen (Accounting\Maintain\Organizations).

If you established a link or association between the employee and a specific organization in the Employee User Flow screen (People\Maintain\Employee), the organization ID will default into this field after you tab out of the Requisitioner field, but can be changed as needed.

Phone

Enter the telephone number of the requisitioner.

If you established a link or association between the employee and a telephone number in the Employee User Flow screen (People\Maintain\Employee), the telephone number will default into this field after you tab out of the Requisitioner field, but can be changed as needed.

Extension

Enter the telephone number extension of the requisitioner.

If you established a link or association between the employee and a telephone number extension in the Employee User Flow screen (People\Maintain\Employee), the telephone number extension will default into this field after you tab out of the Requisitioner field, but can be changed as needed.

Requisition Date *

This field displays the system date which represents the date the requisition was created.

You can enter, or use Calendar Lookup to select, a different requisition date.  You must enter this date in the MM/DD/YYYY format.

Target Place Date

Enter, or use Calendar Lookup to select, the target place date.  You must enter this date in the MM/DD/YYYY format.

The data you enter in this field represents the date the buyer should generate the purchase order in order to receive the requisitioned item by the requested date.

Typically, this date is only relevant if the requisitioner has specified a preferred vendor; in this circumstance, the Target Place Date is established based on the shipment and delivery lead times information specified by the vendor.

Date Entered

This non-editable field displays the date the requisition was entered.

Buyer Assignment Date

This non-editable field displays the date on which this requisition is assigned to a buyer.

The data in this field will default to the system date if a buyer was manually assigned.

Buyer

Enter, or use Lookup to select, up to 12 alphanumeric characters to designate the buyer ID to which this requisition will be assigned. The buyer name of displays in the adjacent, non-editable field.

The data available in the Lookup originates from the Buyers screen (Materials\Configure\Purchasing).

Based on your setup in the Requisitions Settings screen (Administration\Configure\Materials) or your designation of data in the Parts User Flow screen (Materials\Maintain\Items), this field might display default data.

For example, if you did not select the Manual radio button in the Buyer Assignments group box of the Requisition Settings screen (Administration\Configure\Materials), data will default into this field based on the configuration settings.

In addition, if you linked a buyer to a specific "part" in the Parts User Flow screen (Materials\Maintain\Items), a buyer name will automatically display in this field, if this part is the requisitioned item.

Combine with other Requisitions

Select this checkbox to combine this requisition with other requisitions having the same vendor and buyer.  By selecting this checkbox, this data can be associated with one purchase order.

If you selected the Combine Requisition checkbox in the Defaults block of the Requisition Settings screen (Administration\Configure\Materials), the Combine with Other Requisitions checkbox will already be selected; however, you can deselect the "combine" feature for this requisition.

Requisition Printed

If this checkbox is selected, the requisition has been printed.

As long as the checkbox remains selected, a "Duplicate" message will display on any reprints of the requisition. The first printout displays without this message.

A blank checkbox indicates that the requisition has not been printed; therefore, no "Duplicate" message will be generated when you print the requisition.

Procurement Type

Enter, or use Lookup to select, the procurement type code.

The procurement type code represents the reason your company has selected a specific vendor from which to purchase the product, good, or service.

"CB" (Competitive Bid) and "SS" (Sole Source), for example, might represent a procurement type codes.

The data in the Lookup originates from the Procurement Types screen (Materials\Configure\Purchasing).

The Procurement Types screen (Materials\Configure\Purchasing) allows you to enter the code, description, and required number of vendor quotes associated with the purchase of the product, good, or service.

If the requisition does not have the appropriate number of vendor quotes, the system will display a warning message when you attempt to save records in the Requisition Processing and Requisition Processing by Line screens (Materials\Transactions\Process Purchase Requisitions).

The display of this warning message, however, does not prevent you from ultimately creating a purchase order.  The warning message, therefore, is strictly informational.

This value represents the total estimated sales tax associated with the product, good, or service for all lines on the requisition.

Req Total

This non-editable field displays the sum total in the Total Est Cost Amt field for all requisition lines.

This value represents the estimated total cost of the product, good, or service for all lines in the requisition.
