Enter Requisitioner

Explanation

Use this activity to establish personnel responsibility for raising and processing purchase requisitions manually or as system generated. The requisitioner has the authority to enter purchase requisitions, but not purchase orders. It is mandatory to specify a requisitioner when entering a purchase requisition.

At installation of the program, many system-defined requisitioners are provided. These are used to indicate the source of demand when the purchase requisitions are system generated. For detailed information about the system-defined requisitioner, read the window description for purchase requisitions.

The requisitioner IDs are retrieved from the person record. You cannot change ID or name in this window. Changes must be done in the person record.

You can use the requisitioner in posting control.

Prerequisites

• The user must be entered in the Person window.
• The requisitioner's phone number is displayed only if the Method Default check box is selected in the Communication Method tab in the Person window, IFS/Enterprise.

System Effects

• The people in charge of purchase requisitions are entered as requisitioners. The requisitioner is then available in the List of Values and is ready for use when entering purchase requisitions. It is used in the purchase requisition header.
