Requisition Covering Preparation

A Requisition by Last Action Date Report notifies the buyer of requisitions that need to be covered by purchase orders, allowing the buyer to prepare for the purchase order creation process.

Several selection criteria can be entered by the report requestor.  This report is primarily sorted by last action date, priority code, and due date sequence.  Priority code is entered by the analyst during requisition creation.  These priority codes are user defined on the Requisition Priority Code category on the Reference File.  A default requisition priority code is defined in the Purchasing System Defaults category on the Reference File.  Last action date is a calculated date equal to the requisition due date minus dock-to-stock leadtime minus part fixed leadtime (from the Part Master record).

Note:    The priority code corresponds to the level of priority that the analyst wants the requisition to be covered.  The last action date corresponds to the covering deadline date.  After this date, it would be hard for the buyer to place a purchase order to have goods delivered on time.
