Creating Requisitions

There are three ways to create purchase order requisitions:

·     Requisitions can be automatically generated through the Planning Modules (Requirements Planning or Master Scheduling) for purchased or raw material parts.

·     Requisitions can be manually generated for all parts, except build-thru (part type 6) or planning (part type 4) using the Requisition Maintenance conversation.

·     Requisitions can be generated automatically when using the Remote Sourcing component of Computer Integrated Distribution.  This is the case when a customer's sales order is being remotely sourced by a sales office.  For more information about how requisitions (and subsequent purchase orders) are generated for remote sourcing, see the Remote Sourcing key concept in the Order Processing User Manual.

All requisitions follow the same processing regardless of the method used to enter them into the system.  For a detailed procedure outlining how to add requisitions, refer to the Data Setup key concept.
