Requisition Processing

Once requisition lines have been selected for allocation, they are processed separately.  For each requisition to process, the valid endorsements are retrieved (that is, endorsements with an effectivity date less than the requisition due date).  The endorsements are written into a workfile.

For parts with a PO generation mode by Planned Quantity (3, 6, 9, or C) or Planned Quantity Not Accounted for (2, 5, 8, or B), the formulas described in the Quota Calculation and Application key concept are used to calculate the Allocated Quantity.  If the Allocated Quantity is greater than the amount of the requisition that remains to be allocated, the remaining amount to be allocated is allocated to the endorsement.

For parts with a PO generation mode by Rank (1, 4, 7, or A), if the remaining amount of the requisition to allocate is greater than the limit of the rank of the endorsement (selected endorsements in the workfile are sorted by rank and descending limit of rank), the limit of rank is the quantity allocated; otherwise, the quantity allocated equals the amount of the requisition that remains to be allocated.

The quantity allocated is:

·     Converted into purchase units

·     Set to the order minimum quantity of the endorsement, if it is higher

·     Rounded up to the next multiple of the PO increment
