Agenda • Entering a Requisition • Supply • Service • Changing a Requisition • Displaying a Requisition • Requisition Reporting • Requisition Approval
What is a Purchase Requisition? • A request or instruction to Purchasing to procure a quantity of a material or service so that it is available at a certain point in time. • Requisitions may be created manually by the user community or they may be created by MRP when inventory for an item falls below reorder point.
What Information is Included in a Purchase Requisition? • What is to be purchased? • How much is to be purchased? • How much does it cost? • Who’s paying for it? • When is it needed? • Where does it go when it arrives? • What additional information is needed, relative to this purchase?
What is To Be Purchased? • Determine if it is a material or a service. • If it is a material, is there a material master for the item? • If it is a service, what activities are to be included in the service?
How Much is To Be Purchased? • The user must specify the quantity to be purchased, with the appropriate unit of measure. • If a material master is used for the item, the unit of measure defaults from the material master; else, the user must define. • For Services, the unit of measure is always AU (activity unit).
How Much Does it Cost? • What is the unit price of the item? • This, together with the quantity requested, will be extended to a total cost of the requisition line item. • The total cost of the line item will be a factor in determining who needs to approve the purchase request.
Who’s Paying for It? • What type of purchase is it? • What department is paying for it? • What fund is providing the money? • This information also becomes a factor in determining who needs to approve the purchase request.
When is it Needed? • An expected delivery date must be entered. • This may be the date agreed to by the supplier at the time contact was made by the requisitioner or a requested delivery date with no contact with the supplier.
Where Does it Go When it Arrives? • If the material is to be received into inventory, what plant and storage location should it be received to? • If the material is non-inventory, to what building/room number should it be delivered and who should receive it? • If this is a service, only the plant need be entered.
What Additional Information is Needed? • Requisitioner – name of the person creating the requisition • Desired Vendor – vendor number for the supplier from whom the material or service is to be provided • Purchasing Group – responsible buyer for the purchase • Tracking number
