Purchase Requisition Lines

Lines Region Fields

To enter the first line of your purchase requisition, Navigate to the Lines tabbed region in the Requisitions window.

Notice the following changes in the appearance of the requisition:

Some of the fields became yellow, while others remained white. The yellow fields are REQUIRED and must contain text prior to completion, while the white fields remain OPTIONAL. If all required fields are not completed, the requisition will not save, and the document cannot advance in the procurement process.

Num: Line number

Type: The box beneath the heading “Type” automatically populates with the word Goods. Enter another line Type from the list of values if you want to change Goods line type. Line types help you define how you want to categorize your items. The default for this field is the Line Type from the Purchasing Options window.

Item: For quantity-based line types and outside processing line types, enter the Item you want to request. Purchasing displays defaults for purchasing category, item description, unit of measure, and unit price for this item.

Rev: Enter the Revision (if any) that corresponds to the item you want to order.

Category: This field is populated automatically for the Inventory Item that has a category assigned to it and it is not updatable. For updatable category field, view the drop-down list of values and pick whatever category best suits the item you are purchasing. Double-click the selected item category or highlight it and press “OK”.

Description: When you enter an item number, Purchasing displays the item description from the Items window. You can change this description only if the “Allow Description Update” attribute for the item is enabled. If you don’t enter an item number, enter a brief description of what you are purchasing in the “Description” field. In the given example, John Smith wishes to purchase two leather chairs. Tab once to advance.

if a supplier for the item in question quoted you a price, then enter that quote here.

Completing the Bottom Section of the Purchase Requisition. There are five more yellow fields (required) in the bottom section of the document.

Destination Type: has already been populated with the word “Expense”.

UOM (Unit of Measure): If you enter an item number, Purchasing defaults the unit of measure for this item. If you change this value, the quantity is rounded again if appropriate, and the price is recalculated. If you enter a line type that is amount based, Purchasing uses the unit of measure that you assigned to that line type in the Line Types window. You cannot change the unit of measure of amount-based items. View the “Unit of Measure” drop-down list and select the required UOM if you want to change the defaulted UOM.

Quantity: Enter the number of items you are purchasing here. In the given example, John Smith wishes to purchase two leather chairs so the “Quantity” field he entered is "2". If your unit of measure is “Hours”, then your quantity should designate the number of hours to purchase, etc.

Price: This is the price per unit of measure. If you do not know the price, you must enter an estimate of the price.
